Time Blocking
Time blocking is a time management method that asks you to divide your day into blocks of time. Each block is dedicated to accomplishing a specific task, or group of tasks, and only those specific tasks. Instead of keeping an open-ended to-do list of things you’ll get to as you’re able, you’ll start each day with a concrete schedule that lays out what you’ll work on and when.
Time blocking revolves around the idea of single-tasking, deep work, and time batching rather than multitasking & shallow work, which makes it more effective as well as efficient. Multitasking divides our attention and focuses on a lot of things at once due to which it becomes hard for a person to concentrate on one thing at a time.

Textaphrenia: A Rampant Disorder
Textaphrenia is defined as a disease of text messages or addiction to text messages.
The screening criteria for Textaphrenia which can be used for the generation of awareness in public are as follows:
1. A person/individual claiming to hear the tone of text messages while their smartphone is on silent mode. If it happens two consecutive times in an hour, the person might be suffering from Textaphrenia.
2. If a person is consecutively checking his/her phone for text messages without even receiving any real text messages, the person might be suffering from Textaphrenia.
This newly recognized mental health disorder is spreading very quickly among teenagers who extensively use their cell phones. People who suffer from Textaphrenia usually present with the signs and symptoms of anxiety, anorexia, insecurity, disappointment, depression, irritation, excessive smartphone usage, low self-esteem, and repetitive thumb syndrome.

Time Confetti
Suppose you like to go for a walk when you wish to relax. You put on your earphones and decide to walk in the garden. While walking you realize you have some pending notifications from various apps and you need to check them. Afterward, you see a text from your dear friend who is asking you to take a quick survey for some important work that she is doing. It only takes you about 5 minutes to fill out the form.
All of these small, insignificant activities that you did means that your 1 hour of leisure activity got broken down into several small fragments leading to a reduction in the leisure time. As a result, you don’t enjoy or relax. Whenever we try to do more than one activity at a time, we end up not enjoying either. If we don’t give ourselves proper time to relax, our bodies and brains never get the chance to recharge and reset and we feel tired, anxious, unfulfilled, and on edge.
Thus, Time confetti can also "be described as tiny chunks of time here and there, in the form of minutes and seconds, lost to non-productive multi-tasking". We offer personal coaching, consulting & workshops to enable a healthy tech-life balance.

Right to Disconnect
Right to disconnect was the bill proposed in Lok Sabha in 2018 regarding the ability of people to disconnect from work and primarily not to engage in work-related electronic communications such as e-mails or messages during non-work hours. Meanwhile, COVID19 has brought major attention to this subject. This persistent urge to respond to calls and e-mails, constant checking of devices throughout the day, and even on weekends and holidays, is reported to have destroyed the work-life balance of employees. We offer personal coaching, consulting & workshops to enable this balance, positive digital culture & healthy tech-life balance.

Our Choice to be the Living Dead
We all have become zombies; the only difference is that we are living and not dead. We all have become the victims of a digital zombie or a Sombie. Coined by the University of Sydney, these zombies are those who are so engaged with digital technology and/or social media that they are unable to separate themselves from a persistent online presence. These 'zombies' can be found almost anywhere, with eyes on their smartphones, scrolling endlessly on social media feeds, hunting for mythical creatures, laughing or crying without any human interaction, and more.
