Do I Need a Digital Intervention? | Monday Advice

Imagine if I could offer you a pill that gave you the following benefits. One, your symptoms of anxiety and depression would significantly reduce. Two, your overall sense of moment-to-moment life satisfaction would improve. And three, you would gain substantially more ability to concentrate. Now to make this even more enticing, let's say this pill would deliver you those benefits in only two weeks.

The good news, however, is that according to a major new research paper, there's a simple intervention for your digital habits. that can deliver all of those promises. I'm talking about something that's free and that you can put in place with minimal preparation, something that you could start implementing today.
