Digital Wellness Day and Beyond

Did you know that May 3 was Digital Wellness Day? On that day, we practiced a pause with technology and reflected on our relationship with it. This year's theme was digital balance. I'm not a fan of the word digital detox anymore and prefer digital downsize. Detox suggests we have a sickness and shouldn't use tech—quite the contrary!

How can we downsize our digital footprint, find more balance with analog activities, or be more present?

At RaderCo, we swear by Zoom and Email-Free Fridays. At home, we have phone-free Friday nights starting at 6 p.m. Learn more about unplugging to recharge for digital wellness day and beyond.

I'm a certified Digital Wellness Educator from the Digital Wellness Institute . Did you know you could become one of the first Digitally Well-Certified companies? DM me to ask how!

Our Speakers With Impact Mastermind - Stan Phelps , Kevin Snyder, CSP? , Raven Solomon, CSP? , Justin Jones-Fosu and Cynthia Barnes had our quarterly retreat a couple of weeks ago. My takeaway was creating a habit tracker for the full 12 months of behaviors for Work Well. Play More! Cynthia Barnes , had her TEDx talk released. If you have a habit of deflecting or downplaying compliments, I highly recommend taking 10 minutes to watch her talk and then take action and say thank you instead! Link to Video.

Now, onto a biggie:

My TEDx talk, The Relentless Pursuit of More, is gearing up for launch. I need all you helpers out there to do me a solid and make it a hit! When the video drops, we only have 72 hours (gulp!) to boost those views. Unfortunately, I won't know in advance so when it hits the interwebs sometime in May, we gotta be ready!

Will you be a helper?

It's an ultra-light lift—all you gotta do is:

• watch
• comment
• share

We'll be throwing a virtual watch party (or two) during that 72-hour window (fun prizes will be in the mix!)

Productivity Quick Tip: Self-Care: Why it’s not just on you, but your company too!

Do you think it's all up to you to incorporate self-care into your life? I challenge that assumption. Leaders and companies need to look at what can be changed upstream to decrease the need for it rather than providing another meditation app or on-site massage day. One way to eliminate microstressors for your team members is to schedule any emails you send outside their scheduled work hours.
