Digitalisation is redefining the way we work and live.
Thanks to digitalization & emerging technologies like automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence are shaping how we work, where we work, and the skills we need to work.
Work was always done at the office and it was kept strictly separate from private life. Today, with growing connectivity, this delineation is disappearing. With technology and digitisation this movement is only going to be more certain and normal. We need to find ways to manage it to achieve a balance.Digitalization and technological advancement are helping us to reinvent the working world . The future of work will surely be more flexible.
Looking back at our professional lives, we would find that our work mindset and approach have changed over time. We have adjusted to the new normal in the digital age but there are some realities that we will have to accept while we try balancing our work with our personal/ private space.
With work life being reinvented, finding new ways of integrating all areas of life in a meaningful and productive way is a huge learning effort. There are a few things that we have to keep in mind to ensure an effective balancing of our work-life in the digital age
Look to reinvent
All of us should have an open mind to reinvent ourselves and constantly look for creative and innovative ways in doing our things. Adoption and learning of new technologies and trying to move out of fixed mindsets , is a must so that we find more time for ourselves to think and nourish our mind.
Learn to unplug
Sometimes it’s good to disconnect and get a digital detox. This allows us to put a focus on other areas of life in that moment. Like for instance, consciously take social media breaks. It can also be a good time to pursue ones hobbies eg music, dance, reading, photography.
Learn to unlearn
Unlearning is required not only in educational institutions but also in workplaces. Not only teachers and students but everyone, irrespective of his/her profession, needs to learn to unlearn as it is the first step towards acquiring real knowledge. the sooner you allow yourself to go through the process of unlearning, the easier it will be to unlearn things which are impeding on your ability to see things as the limitless possibilities they are.
