Upon Arrival | Events & Incentives with Adelaine Ng

Ever feel like your tech is running you instead of the other way around? You're not alone. In this exploration of our digital lives, Dr Kristy Goodwin continues to look at the surprising ways our tech habits can affect our biology and productivity. We also discuss the fascinating world of chronotypes (your internal clock that says when you're naturally most alert), and handling "tech-xpectations" at work.

Dr. Kirsty Goodwin is a digital wellbeing advocate and neuro-productivity speaker who has  shaped discussions on managing digital expectations in professional settings. An award-winning researcher, she is on a mission to promote employee wellbeing and bolster workplace productivity in an always-on digital world. Her  ability to balance deep research with actionable solutions has seen her work with an impressively long list of clients including Apple, Qantas, Foxtel and several of Australia's leading banks. Her new book is Dear Digital, We need to talk: A guilt-free guide to taming your tech habits and thriving in a distracted world.


Quotes from this episode:

"Information has become so cheap... we feel like we have info-besity".

"Microsoft data tells us that we're seeing a third productivity hump in the day. We used to see one around 10 or 11am (and around) 3.30, 4.30pm. We're now seeing one between 10 and 11pm."

Imagine holding your breath every time you checked your inbox. Sounds crazy, right? But this is what science says you're doing every time you log in, without even realising it! Email apnea is one of the reasons why people believe a digital detox holiday will bring back balance to their lives, but it doesn't work. In this episode, Dr. Kristy Goodwin explores the fascinating relationship between our digital habits, biology, and mental health. She also reveals the lesser-known psychological effects of frequent video calls and offers insights on managing the cognitive load associated with our digital lives.

Quotes from this episode:

"Our tech habits are impacting us in subtle but powerful ways."

"Tech has created what I call the urgency fallacy. It's this idea that everything feels urgent and important, and the reality is that, yes, sometimes you do need to respond to DMs or respond to emails, but not everything has to be done now."

We've been sold some myths - like open office plans are always better for collaboration or that aesthetic design has no bearing on performance. But look a little deeper and you'll find some untapped productivity potential, sometimes by just moving where you sit or who you're sitting next to!

Between  the scramble of our borders re-opening and a looming economic crisis, there's still much to navigate in the workplace.
