Do You Really Have To Respond To All Those Alerts? And Why You're Addicted To Them! Team Engineered Podcast
-
- Self-Improvement
Computer scientist Edward Tufte says, "There are only two industries that call their customers' users': illegal drugs and software." Many of us came to know him in the film The Social Dilemma, which tackles the dark side of our addiction to social media.
A really interesting concept we've come to understand is how these free platforms use us as the “product”. We've known this for a fact, but given how they've become necessary in our lives, we acknowledge the need to stay on these platforms. The challenge, therefore, is establishing the discipline of when to let our devices rule our time. We can break the cycle of addiction and get away from it.
The brain can quickly lose focus with many things fighting for your attention, especially social media. You can take ownership of your day rather than it owning you by tweaking how you think when trying to implement new habits to upgrade self-discipline.
The person most dangerous to you is YOU. The person that's the best coach for you is also YOU. I am here to remind you that whatever thoughts or feelings come to you at any given moment do not define or control you. Remember, you can choose whether to participate or not in your thoughts. You hold power to become the most dangerous person to you or be your own best coach.
Resisting daily temptations can be tough on the path of self-improvement, especially when you are doing them alone. We help individuals inside our container become better people and bigger leaders in their organizations. It's been awesome to see everyone sharing their ideas and motivating each other in the group.
