In today’s always-on work culture, digital overload is one of the biggest barriers to focus and productivity. Frequent notifications, constant emails, and screen fatigue make it increasingly difficult to sustain attention. This corporate wellbeing workshop explores the science behind digital distraction and how to take back control.

Participants will explore:

• 📵 Digital Distraction & Focus – Understand how notifications and interruptions impact attention and productivity
• 🧠 The Attention Economy – Learn how technology is designed to capture and hold attention
• 🔔 Notification Audits – Identify and reduce unnecessary digital noise
• ⏳ Focus & Refocus – Understand the cost of interruptions and how to minimise them
• 🌅 Screen-Free Rituals – Build healthier habits for mornings, breaks, and evenings
• 📧 Managing Digital Overload – Learn strategies to handle email and communication more effectively
• 🔄 Behaviour Change Tools – Apply techniques like the 20-second rule to build better habits

The 60-minute workshop includes interactive exercises, breakout discussions, and team-level digital wellbeing planning. The 30-minute session provides a focused overview with practical, actionable strategies for immediate improvement.

Participants will leave with a personalised digital wellbeing plan and clear strategies to improve focus, reduce distractions, and work more intentionally.
