How do I deal with constant accessibility?

Constant accessibility has become an integral part of our lives. Not only do we use all kinds of mobile devices in our private lives, but our everyday working and studying lives are also dominated by digital devices. Many people feel increasingly stressed and under pressure in the digital world. The possibility of constant accessibility seems to go hand in hand with a general expectation of ourselves and others.

One reason why our "screen time" is increasing more and more, in addition to the "Fear of Missing Out" (FOMO), can also be a dependency. For example, consuming social media can lead to the release of the happiness hormone dopamine. As a result, we keep looking for that feeling of happiness and keep reaching for our smartphone.

A digital detox can help you break free from this dependence. Here are 10 tips for your digital detox:

Note that a dependency can also become an addiction. Then it can help to seek professional help.




Application

As it is one thing to get the tips and another to apply them, we have developed a reflection tool for the Digital Learning Kit that you can use regularly, preferably in exchange with fellow students.

On the Mahara platform as a tool for group work, you can find other students who are interested in similar topics and join together in groups.

On this personal learning environment you can find other students who are interested in similar topics and form groups. On Mahara there is an exchange group for the Digital Learning Kit, where you can get together and exchange information about the different modules.

You can find out what you need to consider when logging in to Mahara for the first time, how to join the group and what else you can do on Mahara in the "First steps on Mahara" guide. Log in with your URZ abbreviation and login, which is the same data you use for Friedolin.

The exchange group also provides reflection templates for documenting your work and slowly improve it through reflection. You can copy and edit these templates in your personal portfolio on Mahara. If you wish, you can share them with the other group members to exchange ideas.

Alternatively, you can answer the questions here - alone or with fellow students. Use the dialog cards below to do so!
