EP #111 | DS19 | Daily SPARK | Daily Habits are In and Digital Detoxes are Out

The discussion is framed around the idea that banning technology is not the solution; instead, we should focus on cultivating digital habits that empower us in an AI-driven future.

Daily SPARK Prompt (edit, cut and paste this prompt into your favorite AI tool, mine is ChatGPT):

Hello ChatGPT, I'm working on balancing my phone use by creating better daily habits vs a digital detox inspired by the ideas in Atomic Habits. Here's my SPARK scenario:

Problem: I struggle with balancing my time on and off technology and often find myself mindlessly scrolling or using devices.

Aspiration: I aim to create a balanced relationship with technology, where it enhances rather than detracts from my life.

Results: I want to achieve a healthier tech-life balance, improving my overall well-being and productivity.
