Digital Health & Well-Being
Finding Balance: Staying Healthy in a Digital World
Technology is a tool, but too much screen time can lead to stress, anxiety, and even burnout. For people reentering society, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when trying to catch up with technology after years away.
In this episode, we explore:
- What digital health and well-being mean and why it matters.
- How to set boundaries with technology to protect your mental health.
- Strategies for balancing screen time with meaningful offline activities.
Technology should make life better—not harder. Learning how to use it intentionally helps you stay productive while taking care of yourself.
Takeaway:
- Set Limits: Schedule breaks from screens throughout the day—15 minutes every hour can help you reset.
- Prioritize Offline Activities: Spend time with family, take a walk, or pick up a hobby that doesn’t involve screens.
- Use Tech Positively: Focus on tools that help you reach goals, like job searches or online learning.
