The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.
本书的目标是为数字极简主义辩护，包括详细探讨其要求及其奏效的原因，然后教会你如果你认为这个理念适合你，如何采纳这一理念。

To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
为此，我将本书分为两个部分。第一部分，我描述了数字极简主义的哲学基础，首先审视许多人的数字生活日益无法忍受的因素，然后详细讨论数字极简主义的理念。

Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
第一部分以介绍我建议的采纳这一理念的方法为结尾: 数字清理。这个过程要求你远离可选的在线活动30天。30天结束后，你将精心挑选少数几项你认为将大大增进你重视的事物的在线活动重新加回。

In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
在第一部分的最后一章，我将指导你如何进行自己的数字整理。在此过程中，我将借鉴我在2018年进行的一个实验，当时有超过1600人同意进行数字整理。你将听到这些参与者的故事，了解哪些策略对他们很有效，以及哪些陷阱他们遇到了，你应该避免。

The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spend on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that words for your particular circumstances.
本书的第二部分将更深入地探讨一些理念，这些理念将帮助你培养可持续的数字极简主义生活方式。在这些章节中，我会探讨诸如独处的重要性和培养高质量休闲活动的必要性等问题，以替代大多数人现在花在毫无意义的设备使用上的时间。每章结束时都附有一系列实践，旨在帮助你实践该章节的重要理念。你可以将这些实践看作是一个工具箱，旨在帮助你努力构建适合你特定情况的极简生活方式。
