Podcasts about shine offline

This is the fourth podcast in our series titled 'Digitalisation | A spotlight on ...'This podcast has been set up to capture conversations with leaders across the Digitalisation eco-system, shining a light on the topic of digital inclusion and the positive role that technology has to play in its acceleration. In this episode of our series 'Digitalisation, A spotlight on' Olivia Sinfield in the employment team speaks to Laura Willis from Shine Offline about Digital Wellbeing. 

Do you experience a constant digital tug towards your technology? Do you check your emails way more than is necessary? Do you double screen by flicking through your phone whilst watching TV? Have you forgotten what it's like to be bored or to simply switch off? If so you might be heading towards digital burnout and today's guest experienced exactly that. After suffering a breakdown due to inbox-anxiety, Laura Willis had to learn the art of managing her devices to leverage their power while avoiding the overload. I first met Laura when she was delivering a talk on how to better manage technology to improve digital well-being.During the talk, which we cover in this episode, she presented a slide that made me so sad.The slide was a representation of how our "free time” has developed over the last 13 years.Free time is those moments in life when you can just do what you wish.Over the last 13 years, our work time and free time has not really changed. But what we do with our free time has altered dramatically as you will discover during this episode. But I warn you in advance this stat will make your heart sink. Equally, as it did for me, it might inspire you to transform your relationship with your tech.After a moment of enlightenment during a meditation, Laura experienced a vision of her holding a phone that she could not escape, so she set out on a mission to transform her relationship with her tech. This led to the creation of “Shine Offline”, whose aim is to “Improve employee focus, collaboration, wellbeing and work-life balance in an ‘always on' world”.You will LOVE this conversation, Laura has so much timely wisdom to offer and a great story to share.Alright, let's do this.

Laura Willis, co-founder of Shine Offline talks with Digital Mindfulness about the relationships big companies have with technologies and how they can vastly improve the performances of their teams by rethinking the 'always-on' culture.

Is being constantly online starting to burn you out? How is technology impacting your life and your relationships? Laura Willis talks about the downside of being hyper-connected and how we can have a healthy relationship with our smartphones and other devices. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Laura’s story and what Shine Offline is all about The different things that drive burnout How much technology contributes to burnout How you can start to put boundaries on your use of technology The impact of overusing technology 3 benefits of implementing boundaries around technology Key Takeaways: Most of us have a slightly unhealthy or dysfunctional relationship with our mobile phones, and it’s affecting our sleep, it’s affecting our mental health, it’s affecting the relationships we have with other people, as well as our relationship with ourselves when we’re often engrossed in whatever is on our mobile device. The predominant reason for burnout is connectivity and the fact that people simply cannot get away from work. There is now a culture of being available and being accessible all the time through email, and because it’s never been spoken about and because of the speed at which this technology has developed and become so intrinsic in our working lives, people are too busy to stop and reflect on the negative impact that it’s having on our lives. Action Steps: Practice mindfulness. Take a proper break at work. Set boundaries in place on your smartphone use and use of other devices. Laura said: “Businesses are starting to recognise that because we use technology for our work and we carry it with us all of the time and people really can’t disconnect from the office the way we did back in the day, the businesses need to take responsibility for this.” “Bring a bit of curiosity to your relationship with [your phone]... because we as human beings, we’re not made to deal with the amount of connectivity and information that we have to process now, and that’s a fact.” Thanks for listening!

Laura Willis, co-founder of Shine Offline talks with Digital Mindfulness about the relationships big companies have with technologies and how they can vastly improve the performances of their teams by rethinking the 'always-on' culture.

We continue our exploration of the theme of wellbeing, this time looking at the impact of being 'always on' - continually connected to work through technology. Richard and Pilar discuss the pros and cons of some approaches to managing our relationship with technology, after which, Richard interviews Laura Willis from Shine Offline. Laura works to help people develop a more effective and positive relationship with their information technology and describes how she came to set up the business and make some personal changes along the way.  'My Pocket Psych' is brought to you by WorkLifePsych, the experts in people development: coaching, training and structured development programmes.

One of the big problems with alcohol is that it seems so normal, acceptable, and even expected for you to drink in certain situations that it can become a routine part of your everyday life without you really realizing the importance that it’s come to have for you. When this happens, it can be easy to lose control over your relationship with alcohol, and end up with the alcohol controlling you.  Alcohol is not the only thing that can wind up assuming this place of power in your life gradually over time. If you’re alcohol-free but still feel like your time is not your own, it may be time to consider another relationship in your life – your relationship with your smartphone, your email inbox, or your computer. In today’s episode, I talk to Laura Willis, Founder of Shine Offline, about how technology can end up running your life if you let it, and how being more mindful of the way you use technology can help you take back control of your life.  “By making some small behavioral changes you can make sure that you’re in control, rather than feeling like this technology’s controlling you.”  Laura talks about how she became interested in the subject of how technology can begin to have too much of a hold over your life. She talks about her own experiences with habitually checking the phone and watching others use apps mindlessly, without really thinking about it. She points out that while we know a lot about the negative effects of alcohol and the dangers of alcohol addiction, less is known about the possible dangers of overusing technology and the negative effects of smartphone or internet addiction. There’s more to learn about the possible long-term effects of the way we are currently using technology.  Laura explains that Shine Offline isn’t about giving up your smartphone or other technology, just about being more mindful with it. Much like One Year No Beer is about changing your relationship with alcohol, not necessarily giving it up entirely, Shine Offline is about changing your relationship with technology. She also notes that while connectivity is necessary in business and can be useful in education, business leaders and teachers should give some thought to the way that they expect their employees or students to use technology, and ensure that those practices are more helpful than harmful. Laura believes that technology overuse can contribute to burnout at work, and that guiding teenagers toward using devices for schoolwork can lead to them in the direction of spending too much time on less productive and more addictive digital pursuits.
