This lecture talks about the unhealthy habit and problem of 1) being constantly distracted by tech and 2) 24/7 connection to tech.
I'm not here to tell you to break your Screens or bang your phone on the wall. I'm not here to tell you to go on a Digital Detox in the Himalayas. In this course, I will give you 14 habits to achieve 'balance' and 'sweet spot' with your Digital Technologies.
We need to stop comparing Screens with Drugs. We need to look at Technology like Food and as a 'tool' for reaching our goals.

Most digital wellness advice till now focused on tools, settings, and short to mid term fixes. But lasting change comes from self-regulation.
In this lesson, we explore the famous Marshmallow Test and what it teaches us about impulse control, delayed gratification, and attention in the digital age. You’ll learn why productivity apps and screen-time limits help in the short to mid term—but why discipline, identity, and life beyond screens matter far more in the long run.
We’ll also discuss how hobbies, physical movement, and deep interests rebuild attention spans and protect you from digital dependency.
This lecture 1) Summarizes the course 2) Encourages you to start with one small step towards your Digital Wellness 3) Educate yourself on Digital Wellness through books, courses, etc. 4) Start the conversation on Digital Wellness with your peers, parents, kids, friends, etc. to create a Digitally Well Culture.

In today’s digital world, our days are shaped by screens.
Emails, notifications, social media, meetings, and constant connectivity influence how we focus, work, rest, and relate to others. Over time, small digital habits—often formed unconsciously—can lead to distraction, fatigue, reduced productivity, and poor boundaries with technology.
Digital Habits is a practical, beginner-friendly course designed to help you build a healthier, more intentional relationship with screens—without giving up technology or relying on extreme “digital detox” approaches.
This course introduces a simple, research-informed ABCDE framework for digital habit change and guides you through 14 practical habits over two weeks, one habit at a time. These habits are designed to fit into real workdays and everyday life, especially for professionals who spend long hours on screens.
You will learn how to:
Understand how everyday digital habits impact focus, energy, and wellbeing
Become more aware of unconscious screen behaviors and attention patterns
Apply the ABCDE framework to change digital habits sustainably
Build consistency with small, realistic habit changes ( 14 habits/ 2 weeks to change your Digital Life ... 1 habit at a time!)
Design digital habits that support productivity rather than drain it
Develop long-term self-regulation skills beyond apps, timers, or quick fixes
The course is grounded in positive psychology, neuroscience, and habit formation research, translating theory into simple, actionable practices.
This course is ideal for working professionals, students, and anyone who wants to improve focus, productivity, and balance in a screen-heavy world.
Rather than fighting technology, you’ll learn how to work with it—intentionally, consciously, and on your own terms.
