Podcasts about overwired world

I have long taken an interest in, and even done research on, this idea of “labor-saving technology.” Maybe it is because I had a front-row seat to a lot of the technological transformations that we now pretty much take for granted.  In ninth grade, I had a typing class on fully manual typewriters, the kind where the keys would jam and you had to whack the return bar. Good times. The next year, the school installed PCs for typing class. I also have lived through dot matrix printers, dial-up modems, floppy disks (the actual floppy kind), cable television arriving, cell phones becoming ubiquitous, and a whole host of other “advancements” that promised to make my life easier and better.  I don't know about you, but I'm not feeling it.  Making things more efficient doesn't mean the outputs are higher quality. Rather, they just become more frequent because the actual labor it takes to do an individual thing goes down. However, as nature abhors a vacuum, the reduced time it takes to do one thing is filled by doing other things. Sure it takes a shorter time to get an email than “snail mail.” But imagine if we got as much snail mail as we do email. Only pop culture stars would get that amount of mail, and they have assistants to help them answer we. We have to answer our own emails! What does it all mean? I'm doing more and more, but does that mean I'm more and more successful? I can be in contact with more people, but am I more connected? I can produce more, but am I more productive? I can access the most advanced health care in human history, but am I healthy? These are the contradictions of our time. We were promised one thing, but we are finding ourselves in another place. The present is not as advertised.  And I'm still waiting for the flying cars I was promised growing up.  To tackle these deeper questions, I have Dr. Camille Preston on Experience by Design podcast. Dr. Preston received her PhD in Psychology at the University of Virginia, for which her work on policing domestic violence received the APA International Best Dissertation Award. That work led to a broader interest in trauma, grief, growth, and recovery.  Today as Founder and CEO of AIM Leadership, she is an executive coach to senior leaders in major companies, a well-traveled keynote speaker, faculty member, advisor, and author. Her works include three books, “Living Real: Redefining Success, Presence, and Happiness,” “Rewired: How to Work Smarter, Live Better, and Be Purposefully Productive in an Overwired World,” and “Create More Flow: Igniting Peak Performance in an Overwired World.” We talk about how there is a tendency to avoid difficult conversation and suppress trauma, which impacts all aspects of our lives (including being effective leaders). She discusses the challenges of building authentic connections in this technological era. As a result, organizations need to create places where people can build relationships through simple conversations and shared activities.  Camille talks about moving from the “Information Age” and into the “Wisdom Age,” where individual AI will disrupt traditional sources of power and expertise. Finally we discuss her work as a “Business Doula,” helping individuals and organizations navigate transitions and giving birth to new possibilities. After all, times of uncertainty create tremendous potential for growth. All we have to do is to start embracing the “woo.”  Dr. Camille Preston: https://www.camillepreston.com/ Camille Preston LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/camillepreston/ “Rewired: How to Work Smarter, Live Better, and Be Purposefully Productive in an Overwired World”: https://www.amazon.com/Rewired-Smarter-Purposefully-Productive-Overwired/dp/0984904107 “Living Real: Redefining Success, Presence, and Happiness”: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7T38495 “Create More Flow: Igniting Peak Performance in an Overwired World”:  https://www.amazon.com/Create-More-Flow-Performance-Overwired/dp/0984904115

Episode 61 – Surviving the Overwired World With Sheri Fitts Happy summer! As you may know, with the summer season comes a lot of activities that fill up the calendar. I’m finding the same this year so as a result I’m going to be releasing an episode of Women Rocking Wall Street every other week. My intention is to kick off a new podcast, Deconstructing Digital, which is a companion piece to my new book, Deconstructing Digital: Simple Ways To Connect With Your Next-Generation Financial Clients. This week’s episode of Women Rocking Wall Street is another interview where the microphone is turned around (metaphorically speaking) and I am the one being asked questions by Kristin Mountain, co-founder of Podcast SMARTER. This episode is all about surviving the overwired world. There are so many dif fervent distractions that we can choose from that affect our decisions on how we should be spending our time. As a result, we tend to run into digital overload, all because we don't want to miss out on anything. This dilemma has created the term “life hacking” and there are several online tools that can create efficiencies in our personal and work life, making us more productive. One tool is focus@will, a program that plays music developed and edited to elicit alpha brains waves. Another similar online tool that allows you to pick which brain waves you want to elicit is called Brainwaves. Not only will it allow you to be focused and alert, but it has settings that encourage power naps, mediation and relaxation. While there are many tools that can help you survive the overwired world, there are still some very basic things that you can do. Meditation can help reset your thoughts and help center you for your day. It doesn’t have to consist of sitting in a room quietly but could also be getting out into nature and going for a walk while taking deep breaths and taking a personal moment to unwind. If you are interested in getting more comfortable with meditating, there are two online tools that I use, Calm and HeadSpace. The most important thing when surviving the overwired world is doing what is right for you. If you can identify what is holding you back or taking up most of your time, then you can find the tools that will help. Thank you for listening.

“Shhhh!!!! I’m answering EMAIL!”  ”But, Sweetie!  We’re in the MIDDLE of the store. Can’t you do that at HOME?” How many times have we been at the MALL, in CHURCH, at a PARTY, or dinner with FRIENDS, and feel we MUST check our phone and web-surf? Or, we’re at home and find we just HAVE to work at the desktop.  It’s dinner time, but THREE members of the FOUR in the family are PLAYING games on their tablets. Sometimes, we have the BlueTooth STUCK in our ear, WORKING on the laptap, TEXTING , and more, all at the SAME TIME! Plus, life feels CRAZY and we are just so TIRED! Camille Preston, PhD, PCC, author of Rewired: How to Work Smarter, Live Better, and Be Purposefully Productive in an Overwired World, explains how we are wired, or rather, overwired,  to technology and why that isn’t always a good thing. On Camille’s website she notes: Living overwired also has a detrimental impact on our cognitive, physical, and emotional health. Being overwhelmed and overwired negatively impacts our ability to think clearly, to focus, and to process information properly. And the attendant stress does very real physical damage to our bodies. Furthermore, when we are overwired, we don’t form relationships and make deep connections the way we should. We aren’t working smart, we aren’t living well, and we aren’t fulfilled. Camille will give you the encouragement to unwire and take a step back from the overload of technology.
