Digital Wellness Day encourages us to reflect on our technology habits to improve happiness. It is not technology itself that affects our happiness, but rather how we use it mindfully. Unintentional use can lead to a snowball effect of constant phone checking driven by the need to feel needed, affecting our happiness negatively.
Technology is amazing! We can make video calls, find facts in an instant and watch movies on our phones. We take all this for granted, but have we let our screens and devices take over too much of our lives?
To mark Digital Wellness Day on May 3, we hear from Amy Blankson (author and "chief evangelist" at the Digital Wellness Institute) about her ten tips to tame our devices at home and in the workplace.
