A 2015 study by Silentnight concluded that people nowadays spend more time on their mobile phones and laptops than sleeping.

To counteract this mindless tendency, in this post I’m suggesting you 5 different activities that will not only contribute to your wellbeing but also help you stay offline more often.

The 4 Jewels of Well-being
According to neuroscientist Richard Davidson, well-being is a skill, and it can be developed with practice. It’s like learning to walk or playing the piano. The more you practice it, the more you strengthen the neuronal circuits associated with well-being, and the better you get at it. These neuronal circuits are plastic and thus can be expanded and trained. They are awareness, connection, insight, and purpose.
Delayed Gratification: A Self-Discipline Strategy For Digital Creatives
I believe that as a digital creative I can benefit from a more organised and thoughtful publishing experience. If I create a weekly commitment of writing down a blog post, I will surely be more prepared and ready to just sit down and write. That will help me with being more consistent and more present as a writer but also more available to those who read me.

I just have to delay the instant gratification I get from writing and publishing.
