Head Talks

While working in stressful jobs, Anastasia Dedyukhina realised that smartphones, and the pressure to be ‘always on’, were doing her harm. She tried an experiment: giving up her smartphone altogether and going back to a more offline way of life. The experience inspired her to found Consciously Digital, a network of coaches who help others to find a better balance between their online and offline lives. Anastasia describes what the constant switching of tasks does to our brains, and gives us some helpful advice for those who would like their families to spend less time on screens.
