Disconnecting
In the space of just twenty years the growth in technology has been phenomenal.
And whilst this has undoubtedly brought lots of opportunities and benefits it has almost brought a number of challenges.
One is device addiction and overuse.
We all know someone who is never off their devices, and when you tell them to come off their phone, you will get the inevitably angry response.
If you don’t know somebody like this, then it’s probably you!
Research has shown that human behaviour has been negatively effected by being constantly โconnected.”
The impact this can have on you cannot be understated. It affects our human psyche, sleep, connectedness, and well-being.
Feelings like FOMO (aka Fear Of Missing Out) and sleep deprivation from overexposure to blue-light are all having an impact on our daily productivity and performance.
Recognising this trend, there are now apps (ironically) that limit your screen time so that you can recharge. Your performance will benefit if you limit technology not overuse it.
