At the end of the day, maybe you feel mentally tired, stressed, anxious because you didn't do what you wanted to have done during the day and you can't even sleep well thinking about everything you have for the next day. It's the emails that keep coming, messages on WhatsApp and on all social media, the social pressure of having to read everything, listen to everything, watch everything. It's like you're at an all you can eat buffet and you have to eat everything in front of you, but it doesn't fit in your stomach, does it? In the same way that at an all you can eat buffet we cannot eat everything that is available, we prioritize the food we are going to eat, we also need to prioritize all the information that we are going to consume in the digital world - like a menu that we can assemble with the help of recommendations from an Information Nutritionist. Questions this talk will respond • How can I find a healthy balance between technology use and my offline life? • How can I deal with so much information available in the world today? I can't consume everything, but everything is there at my fingertips: videos, emails, whatsapp, instagram everything is available, but how do I know what I should consume? • How to change behaviors and habits to have a better life? • How can I focus on doing what I need to do? I open my phone to do something and suddenly I'm watching videos of cats and I can't even remember what I really wanted to do - I need to focus! Problems that this talk helps to solve • Which are some of the manipulative digital tools and how to use them to make better decisions aligned with my own goals; • How to make the most of technology for a better life and society; • How to use technology to our advantage to help us be more productive instead of letting technology and information take up all our time • How to create mechanisms in our daily lives, including habits and methods, to be more productive, aware, present and that our attention [...] TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 07:19 Derren Brown: The Push 09:09 2 types of influence 10:57 Luis von Ahn 14:40 Infobesity 17:49 Tools & practices 20:19 Apps we regret 22:00 Cognitive loadometer 23:17 Push vs pull 29:51 Information diet 34:34 Obesity 37:15 Time well spent 41:12 Next steps 42:47 How New Addictions are Destroying Us 43:05 Outro Download slides and read the full abstract here: https://yowcon.com/sydney-2023/sessions/2773 RECOMMENDED BOOKS Fabio Pereira • Digital Nudge • https://amzn.to/3yhxJu9 Imran Rashid & Rikke Østergaard • FEELABILITY • https://amzn.to/451Hlsh Imran Rashid & Soren Kenner • Offline • https://amzn.to/3t8LEog Daniel Kahneman • Thinking, Fast and Slow • https://amzn.to/2XmJEtf Thaler & Sunstein • Nudge • https://amzn.to/3CglrmX Dan Ariely • Predictably Irrational • https://amzn.to/3lyDBd7 Robert B Cialdini • Influence, New and Expanded • https://amzn.to/3tL8GxB Dr. Anna Lembke • Dopamine Nation • https://amzn.to/3Is3d76 https://twitter.com/GOTOcon https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- https://www.instagram.com/goto_con https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferences #Infobesity #InformationOverload #DigitalNudge #HumanFactor #SocialMedia #Psychology #Behavior #Decisions #DigitalDecisions #ThinkingFast #ThinkingSlow #Dataism #ScreenTime #FabioPereira #FabioNudge #YOWcon Looking for a unique learning experience?
