What is Digital Overwhelm
so what is digital overwhelmed? We can understand digital overwhelmed as the combination of two ideas one, our new digital reality, the unprecedented rise of technological advancement and digital device usage and to the accompanying sensation of anxiety that it creates in us First things first since the 1970s, our world has undergone a massive digital revolution. This is the information age with digital devices serving as our touch points for so many things. These days. If you want to get something done, you probably are using your phone, your computer and the internet to make it happen our whole lives from our bank accounts to our files and even our cherished photos and media. They're all in our digital devices, our devices have made us more connected than ever before Before. I digitally de cluttered, I used to feel like I was always reachable and that everyone in my professional and personal life, not to mention advertisers and news outlets could reach me 24/7 that means that more pe...
ople than ever have a direct line to our attention Which brings us to the 2nd point. The resulting anxiety from being expected to keep up with our digital lives. We get tens, if not hundreds of emails per day, dozens of texts, facebook messages, news and app notifications. Some of these inputs are helpful and necessary but a ton of these are just digital clutter that we end up hoarding this feeling of digital overwhelmed manifests itself in different ways for different people. Some people feel perfectly calm having 20,000 emails in their inbox and others freak out when they have and even if you finally catch up on all of your texts and answer all of your emails when you start thinking about your documents, photos and backup system, you may feel like you never really get a hold of things. So how do you know if you are suffering from digital overwhelmed here are a few indicators, you have tens of thousands of emails in your inbox or in boxes, you have no idea what is backed up where or you think you may have things backed up but you're not sure what would happen if your phone or laptop got stolen tomorrow. Your phone is the first thing you interact with in the morning and the last thing you interact with at night, you're always reachable, answering emails, texts and work messages at all hours of the night at any given time you have tons of browser windows open and lots of apps on your phone, but they're actually getting in the way of your productivity, you view yourself as an active or busy person but somehow it feels like there is never enough time in the day, especially when it comes to the most critical initiatives. You're not sure you're using the right apps and plug ins for the right things, especially when it comes to getting stuff done. You have most app social media and news notifications enabled and are getting them like all the time, you feel a constant need to check your phone even during in person interactions with friends or family, you feel a tightening in your chest or back when you think about these things or any aspect of your digital life, you're reluctant to get rid of digital clutter and often end up digitally hoarding photos, documents and emails. If any of this sounds familiar, don't worry, you are not alone. What all sufferers of digital overwhelm have in common is this the sensation that their digital life has gotten out of control. We have your back and we also want you to know that this has unfortunately become the new norm. In fact, pretty much everyone I know is suffering from some kind of digital overwhelming, but just because everyone is dealing with the same issue doesn't mean it should be this way which brings us to our next lecture which will help you understand the negative consequences of digital overwhelm on your mind, body and attention

This class is well organized and flows well. There is one thing I do NOT like is the reference to another class in the Syllabus: "Kill The Chaos of Information Overload with Evernote Webinar" The webinar has only one good tip, use Tabs in Evernote. The webinar hypes more tips if you buy the course by Charles Bird. I bought the course for $197 which was listed as a discount from a much higher price. The course is poorly assembled, out of date, and hardly worth more than a few dollars. It assembled with a bunch of short videos, each video starts after he is talking and ends before he is finished. Evernote Scanner is no longer made and Evernote no longer supports the software.
