Dear Digital,
We need to talk...
A GUILT-FREE GUIDE TO TAMING YOUR TECH HABITS AND THRIVING IN A DIGITAL WORLD
If you want to put an end to constantly feeling stressed, overwhelmed and distracted the best place to start is…with a good old-fashioned book. Dear Digital…We Need to Talk in fact!
Dominate your digital distractions and stop screens from adding to your stress.
Learn brain-based strategies to tame your toxic tech-habits and thrive in the digital world. And no, don’t worry.
You don’t need to cancel your Netflix subscription or take Slack off your phone.
Learn how to use technology in ways that are aligned to your neurobiology (how your brain and body are designed to work)
It’s no surprise that you’re more stressed, exhausted and distracted than ever before.
Your tech habits are, in part, to blame.
Despite technology being touted as the silver bullet that was supposed to make our lives more efficient and give us back time, that hasn’t eventuated. We’re being bombarded with digital distractions. We’re facing a constant sensory onslaught every day- alerts, notifications, pings and dings have become the soundtrack of our days. We’re processing more information than ever before (estimates suggest adults consume around 70BG worth of data each day and that adults will spend an average of 17 years of their lives on their phones).
We're tethered to technology, both personally and professionally and it's having a huge impact on our wellbing and capacity to focus.
In my latest book Dear Digital... We Need to Talk
I explain why our digital behaviours are leaving many of us OUSTED:
Techno-stress is a real phenomenon and if left unresolved this techno-stress will lead many of us to digital burnout.
There are two main reasons why so many of us feel OUSTED, as explained in Dear Digital, We Need to Talk:
Our digital habits have
introduced a range of micro stressors to our days.
Alerts, notifications and reminders, multi-tasking, video calls and working for long stretches may seem benign, but they’re not. These micro-stressors are accumulating and as humans we’re not designed to cope with long bursts of stress. Nor are we biologically designed to cope with constant stressors. Yet this is how many of us now spend our days.
Our digital habits have
eroded some of the biological buffers that were once naturally baked into our days that helped us to manage stress
Physical movement, sleep, exposure to sunlight, our vision, human connection and even the way we breathe have all been radically altered by our digital habits.
It's time for a new operating system...
We’re at an exciting juncture in time. As we redefine new ways of working, we can use this as a catalyst to find work practices and digital behaviours that are aligned with our neurobiology- our brains and bodies, or what I refer to as our Human Operating System (our hOS).
In my book Dear Digital, We Need to Talk I share realistic, research-based strategies to tame our toxic tech habits without suggesting that you need to cancel your Netflix subscription, go ‘laptopless’, or go on a #digitaldetox.
I share a menu of micro-habits you can easily apply to your digital habits both personally and professionally. Learn guilt-free, brain-based tactics to help you to use technology in ways that are congruent with your biological blueprint.
This is a book that will help you to thrive in the digital world.
