Do you find your heart sinking when you see you've been added to yet another WhatsApp group? Or maybe you are sick to the teeth of Zoom calls? It's easy to let our digital interactions overwhelm us, and this morning on Mind Yourself Now on Dermot and Dave, Carrie Budds from Quokka Wellness had some tips on how you can manage your online life.
These days, we might have as many as 700 connections on social media, whether they're friends, family or people we follow for fun or dog videos.
This is well above the widely accepted Dunbar number, which suggests that the number of relationships that a human can comfortably maintain is 150.
And this is has only gotten worse with the increase in emails, WhatsApp group calls and Zoom calls for work during lockdown as well as the constant news setting off alerts on our smart phones.
Carrie explained to Dermot and Dave on Mind Yourself Now how you can manage the increase in your digital interactions and it's as simple as 'Have to Have', 'Nice to Have' and 'Habit to Have'.
