Rory McIlroy wishes we could all stay off our phones a little more. Since he first mentioned reading Cal Newport’s book Digital Minimalism last year, McIlroy has zeroed in on the deleterious effects too much screen time can have on people of all ages.
“I would love to see people get away from it somewhat. I try my best. But we live in a world where we can’t get away from it, we do need our phones, we do need to stay connected.”
One notable difference between McIlroy and the rest of the working world is that his day-to-day job requires very little screen time. During big tournaments, he said he locks his phone away altogether to get focused in.
McIlroy added that he recently downloaded an app to help protect against the temptations of his phone.
