Details
From mails and app notifications to Zoom meetings and social media: In a connected world, the lines between our online and offline lives are often blurred. The digital era offers us convenience, connection, and knowledge; digital tools help us work and stay connected. Yet, at the same time our increasing reliance on technology presents a number of challenges. Research shows that a lack of balance in our digital lifestyle affects our wellbeing and physical health, reduces the quality of our social relationships, impacts productivity, impairs sleep quality, and increases stress and burnout risk. Moreover, our interactions with technology impact cognitive processes, affecting memory, decision-making, and our ability to set and follow through on goals.
In an always-on world, digital well-being is not just a buzzword, but an essential practice for those who wish to leverage the power of technology without compromising their well-being, relationships, and the richness of in-person experiences. More than limiting screen time; digital well-being is about using technology with intention and in aligment with one's personal and professional values and goals.
