Developing Digital Mindfulness for a Thoughtful and Sensible Technology Usage for Sustainability | Chapter 1 | Research Updates in Mathematics and Computer Science Vol. 6

 

Developing a thoughtful attitude toward technology and the digital environment is central to the idea of IT mindfulness. Instead of relying on reflexive and automatic behaviours, it emphasizes the importance of being mindful and purposeful in our interactions with technology. We may improve our well-being, lessen stress and overwhelm, and develop a positive relationship with technology by engaging in IT mindfulness practices. This entails establishing boundaries, becoming more cognizant of our digital habits, and selecting how we interact with technology. IT mindfulness challenges us to consider our priorities and values, consider how and why we utilize technology, and make deliberate decisions that are consistent with our beliefs and objectives. The goal of IT mindfulness is to assist people in keeping a positive, balanced connection with technology while avoiding any potential drawbacks. Engaging in IT mindfulness involves establishing boundaries, being conscious of our digital habits, and making deliberate choices that align with our values and goals. By prioritizing meaningful interactions and limiting mindless consumption of technology, we can enhance our well-being and reduce stress. This approach encourages us to reflect on the role of technology in our lives, enabling us to foster a positive and balanced relationship with digital tools while avoiding potential negative impacts. By consciously setting boundaries and being mindful of our digital behaviours, we can align our technology use with our values and well-being. Prioritizing purposeful interactions and intentional engagement with digital tools allows us to maintain a positive and balanced relationship with technology. This practice empowers us to make thoughtful decisions that support our goals and beliefs while avoiding the potential negative effects of excessive or unconscious technology use. Embracing IT mindfulness fosters a healthier and more fulfilling digital lifestyle.
