We all want to buy the latest trend: smartwatches, tablets, smartphones and the list go on\u2026 But have we thought that <strong>maybe our interaction with technology can influence our success?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Interestingly, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, two of the biggest tech successes, openly stated that their children had specific and limited hours to use electronic devices. So<strong>, if we control our children\u2019s screen time, why are we not doing the same? Limiting the time, we spend on our devices is crucial to developing a healthy relationship with them.<\/strong> No need to be constantly available, checking notification\/e-mails every second. A 2019 study conducted by ResumeLab showed that <strong>highly successful people spend only around 28 minutes daily on social media<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This study also showed that the <strong>tech habits of highly successful people included \u201ccharge their technology while sleep\u201d, \u201ctake breaks from social media\u201d and \u201cuse password protection on my tech devices\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If we think about it, <strong>our time is spent looking at screens<\/strong>: at work, while commuting, and during leisure time, we are mostly doing it. <strong>It is important to develop healthy habits that do not include technological devices<\/strong>, such as reading, painting, exercising, etc. <strong>At work, it is equally vital to take effective breaks from technological devices, to reset and disconnect<\/strong>. Thus, everyone should schedule time away from technology, less is more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More than limiting and scheduling the time spent on our devices, <strong>it is vital to develop healthy habits when using them<\/strong>. For instance, we must adjust our postures, avoid sitting too close to the computer\/tablet\/television, not listening to music too loud, not using our phones before bed, etc&#8230; <strong>Our gadgets can help us develop some of these habits <\/strong>by adjusting resolution\/brightness, install apps that control device usage, among others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All things considered, o<strong>ur technological devices should be used to help us in our professional lives. <\/strong>They allow us<strong> to establish connections, develop our network, get to know\/learn from other people\u2019s work, and get inspired and creative<\/strong>. They can also be a great way <strong>to optimise ourselves and our performance<\/strong>. For example, using apps to track our sleep\/health or to plan our days can be <strong>efficient ways to reach a healthy work-life balance<\/strong>. Other work-related apps allow work teams to be connected 24 hours and have access to work files\/programmes 24\/7. This can be really useful for remote workers or even for <strong>organising all the necessary data in one place.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, <strong>we must be careful about what we share online and the information we have on our devices\/apps<\/strong>, like card codes, passwords, etc. If one has access to it, it can be dangerous.<\/p>\n<p><u>References:<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Surprising Tech Habits Of Highly Successful People, December 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kathycaprino\/2019\/12\/19\/surprising-tech-habits-of-highly-successful-people\/#4328ca55785a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forbes<\/a><\/li>\n<li>19 Daily Habits Practiced by Incredibly Successful People, June 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/christina-desmarais\/19-daily-habits-practiced-by-incredibly-successful-people.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inc.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Is Technology the Key to Success in the 21st Century? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifehack.org\/647187\/is-technology-the-key-to-success-in-the-21st-century\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lifehack<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Triumphs Through Tech, June 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/resumelab.com\/career-advice\/habits-of-successful-people\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resume Lab<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all have an extremely close relationship with our technological devices.
