The State Of Digital Flourishing

Many of us feel overwhelmed with technology and the pressures of remote work. This can be distraction, Zoom fatigue, burnout and other forms of digital sickness.

We need to be in the state of digital flourishing, assessing our digital wellness and taking action by using technology in the right doses.

This involves:

  1. Reflecting on how we use digital technology.
  2. Being aware of where our attention goes.
  3. Aligning our use of digital technologies with our motivations and values.

  • Digital productivity requires us to find a work-life balance, enhance our focus and minimize any distractions.
  • Getting distracted from work due to a phone notification keeps us distracted for a few seconds, but eats up an average of 11 minutes to get our full attention back to work.

It helps to put phone notifications off, especially the sports updates.

Boosting Your Digital Wellness: Relationships

Most of the jealousy, envy and angst one feels is due to comparisons with others, especially if the relationships one experiences are fickle and shallow.

Unfollow unnecessary people and exit from groups that don’t add value or meaning to your life. Do not let digital, pseudo or virtual relationships erode your real, precious relationships.
