Note to Self

Tales of Real Life Tech Addiction


Listen Later

This week, an encore of one of our favorite New Tech City episodes ever: The tale of David Joerg, self-professed tech addict.

David spent years living the life many kids can only dream of: video games at 3 a.m., Nutella from the jar, unlimited hours clicking from one piece of tech news to the next. 

Running on three hours of sleep per night, he became, in his words, “a zombie.” He decided it had to stop - so he put his techie mind to work, and built a system that totally cut him off. Spoiler: It involves his daughter's piggy bank.

Listen above. And if you’re struggling too? You can request a copy of the program for yourself from David here
