Striving for Balance in a Digital World
Well! Who doesn’t want to be perfect in life? A hard-hitting question yet with no immediate resolution. To be impeccable in life, you need to be persistent in taking small baby steps each day and taming your mind for any digressions. Perfection is a misnomer, but being good/well is still an option with all of us.
We all need to be stupendous when it comes to studies, but on top of it, we also need to stay au courant with the latest happenings and that can be achieved the best and easiest via online. But a brilliant and wise student is one who maintains a balance between the both. And attaining that balance is the real art - the art of living.
Screen Time – A Distraction or a Tool?
Screen time is simply a hangover, an addiction that makes you derail to get the best on your way. Despite everything, hunt for the solution and stay inspired and follow the techniques for a perpetual study and screen time balance.
Tried and Tested Techniques to Balance Study & Screen Time
Here, are a few tried and tested techniques that can take you away from your guilt of mismanagement
1. Take a Vow
Pledge yourself today. Come what may, I need to adhere to a set routine of the designed timetable that offers me a complete balance with my academics as well as surfing the social media. Set logical and healthy boundaries for yourself by prioritising your academics above all.
2. Control the Trigger
Always remember, it’s your being idle that triggers you to extend your screen time. If you align your routine with your goal and direct all your endeavours in the right direction, then the trigger to be online on social media will automatically subside
3. Follow a Mindful Routine
The imbalance between study and screen time is all about your being less thoughtful about your right choices in life. As a student, be mindful and remind yourself about the role of a good student. Take 15 minutes of your daily schedule and practice guided meditation to avoid any sort of imbalances in life.
4. Create an Inviting Study Zone
Assign a specific comfortable space for yourself, free from all sorts of distractions. Do notify your loved ones about your stipulated study timings and spend the most productive hours of the day that provides you with a sense of achievement.
5. Learning with Fun and Ideal Breaks
Make sure you are not becoming a couch potato and sitting the entire day with your books and screen on. Create a student friendly, compatible timetable that encapsulates sufficient relaxation time allowing you to take forty winks and then resume with your focused learning.
6. Productive Screen Time
Screens should be used for infotainment. Register yourself for sites that render you with quality informative learning along with entertainment. During your study break, you can do some yogic sets or motor exercises with an expert to balance your mind and make you all the more productive than ever.
Final Thoughts – You Are the Architect of Your Destiny
Simply remember, there’s nothing in life that’s unachievable. And you are not here to follow the crowd, but be one that the world follows you for being extraordinarily unique and holistically empowered. By just training your mind for the desired target, you can accomplish anything and everything. You are the architect of your own destiny and the best way to predict your future is to create it.
