Take Charge: How to Manage Your Time with Technology

While technology can help us stay productive, it can also waste time if we don’t manage it carefully. From endless scrolling to constant notifications, digital distractions can prevent us from reaching our goals.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The importance of managing your digital use for better focus and productivity.

• Tips for setting boundaries with screens and avoiding distractions.

• Tools and strategies to make the most of your time online.

For people reentering society, digital tools are essential—but they should work for you, not against you.

Takeaway:

1. Set Goals: Write down what you want to achieve online (e.g., job search, learning new skills) and focus only on those activities.

2. Turn Off Distractions: Mute unnecessary notifications to avoid interruptions.

3. Schedule Screen Time: Set specific times for using devices and stick to them.

Managing your digital use means using technology with purpose. Take charge of your time and make every moment count.
