Digital Wellbeing
With growing screen time this year, we want to help our community develop sustainable digital wellness habits. Over Christmas 2023, we ran a social media campaign “12 Days of Digital Wellbeing” providing tips on setting boundaries and managing distractions when working remotely, guidance on reducing device addiction, social media overload, and burnout.
Our goal is to foster healthy relationships with technology so it can enhance rather than hinder our well-being. Read on for a summary of the tips we shared over Christmas 2023!
