We are the most digitally connected generation in human history, and it's costing us our sleep, our focus, and our mental health. The average New Zealander spends over three hours a day on their phone alone. Add computers, constant notifications, and the always-on work culture, and it's no wonder your team arrives already mentally depleted.
This digital detox workshop doesn't ask people to throw their phones in the sea. It takes a practical, science-based look at what prolonged screen exposure is actually doing to the brain and body and gives employees a realistic, work-friendly plan to reset their relationship with technology, reduce digital overload, and reclaim some of their mental bandwidth.
Crucially, we also tackle the hooks — the psychological design features built into apps and platforms specifically to keep you scrolling. Understanding how they work is the first step to breaking free from them. Participants leave not just informed, but genuinely equipped to make lasting changes.
What we cover:
The effects of digital overload — what constant connectivity does to focus, sleep and stress levels
The surprising benefits of an intentional digital reboot for mood, creativity and productivity
The psychology of the scroll — how apps are engineered to hijack your attention
How to build a personal digital detox plan that's practical, work-friendly, and actually sticks
Techniques for resisting the hooks and setting tech boundaries that hold
Why your phone is probably the biggest threat to your sleep quality — and what to do about it
What participants will leave with:
A clear understanding of how prolonged screen time affects brain function and workplace performance
Practical strategies to reduce digital overload without compromising work or social connection
Knowledge of the psychological tactics apps use — and how to counter them
A personalised, realistic digital detox plan tailored to their lifestyle and role
Immediate, actionable tips to improve focus, sleep quality, and mental clarity starting tonight
Ideal for:
All employees — particularly relevant for remote and hybrid teams, high screen-time roles, and organisations supporting mental health and wellbeing.
Pairs perfectly with our Sleep Health or Stress Resilience sessions.
Wellbeing Workshop has over 100 workshop topics to choose from, and not all of them are featured on our website. It can be daunting trying to select the right workshop for your team, so please get in touch if you need assistance.
We will take the time to understand the culture of your organisation, any challenges that you may be facing and where you are at on your wellbeing journey.
All our workshops offer relevant and science-backed information that is both practical and thought provoking. Content will be tailored to suit your requirements or created.
Our aim is to get your people thinking about how to better support themselves both personally and professionally. Offering support and mental wellbeing training opportunities within your organisation, will help you build a healthy workforce and positive workplace culture.
