DIGITAL AWARENESS

It's awareness in interacting with the digital world seeking to obtain the maximum benefit by totally preserving personal health.

  • Avoid information overloading (keep in your device less apps and informations as possible, disable notifications, skim unnecessary data feeds)
  • Do not run after technology, let it flow
  • Reduce cyberspace to its natural essence: information that flows as an electric signal through transistors gates put in a circuit
  • Associate to every digital activity a real life goal and keep it in mind instead of being stuck in the details of process
  • Watch reality not screens
  • Walking working: don't be stuck in front of computer but keep walking and changing postion frequently
  • Continuously alternate manual and digital activities
  • Do fitness, outdoor, traveling, holidays, do rest

Workflow: observe and evaluate, then design, then state an action plan, then just transcode the plan

  • When designing processes take the look off the screen and browse your brain
  • Surf time in deepness of moments more than in extension of activities
  • Be calm in chaos
  • Make things through synergy of people and digital entities
  • Use computers to do alienating tasks like search/copy/rename/cut/paste/save/lauch/verify

Note: even if it's done within a large company or a third party cloud platform, digital work is always a property of yours streamed by the power of your mind. You are the real owner of the business, so please always act as an owner.

  • Manage yourself to be always unprepared
  • Do exercises to slow down work
  • Practice to give scandal

THE POND METAPHOR
Never let a job invade your life. Make it be just "a part" of your day, week, month, year. To do it you can use the pond metaphor: if work is strictly limited in hours it becomes as water inside a pond in the forest from which it can't go anywhere longer. Instead you can, and the forest is big.

THE CATASTROPHE'S PROJECTION
What keeps people chained to bad work habits doing long hours is often the fear of a suddenly happening catastrofe. To avoid it I suggest you to already mentally project yourself inside a disaster and train to feel confortable.
