Statistics show that UK adults spend over 6 hours every day on tech – which adds up to over 90 days, or three months per year. In response to this, techtimeout have developed an important initiative and community which we at Made in Group would like to promote.
Made in the Midlands member FBC Manby Bowdler's Sales Direcror Neil Lloyd has also said the following: "The concept of techtimeout and the support around it has helped my team enjoy a healthier relationship with technology. In particular I've found our meetings are now more focused and more productive."
Find out more about what you can do to support techtimeout below:
On Tuesday 1st December, we’re challenging you to pledge some time away from technology for #techtimeouttuesday.
Whether it’s 10 minutes, 1 hour or 1 day – we would like you to look up, log off and do something you enjoy, around your work commitments, that doesn't include endless notifications and mindless scrolling.
Why are we doing this?
We want to raise awareness of the impact that technology has on mental health and productivity.
How to get involved:
- Pledge how much time you are going to spend away from technology and what you’re going to do with your time. Enter your pledge here.
- Share the attached image on your social media feed on the day with the hashtag #techtimeouttuesday
- Enjoy your techtimeout!
