Taking an hour a day away from tech – how would this benefit me?
Podcast 9 – Engagement Statement 3: Taking an hour a day away from tech
This topic goes hand in hand with managing distractions and the effect they have on our resilience. Technology has brought us so much. The constant connectedness puts us in a position of being ‘always on’ because there is always something in our inbox, message feed or timeline to look at – always something that needs responding to. For those of us who feel that we have to respond to every obligation (and do it quickly!) it can mean a feeling of being overwhelmed with no headspace to get on with things that we need to process, think about or connect with.
What do you use your tech for? Is it your constant companion? Would you break away from a face to face conversation to look at a message on your phone or to check social media mid-conversation? Do you look at your phone whilst walking along the street or crossing the road?
It might be useful to examine the role that being constantly connected plays in your life and how you might create some useful resilience-building space from it.
When would be the best time of day for you to take a break from your electronic communications and what would you do with the space that an hour off created that would be resilience building for you?
