In this episode of the Mental Health in Tech podcast, co-hosts Schalk Neethling and Schalk Venter delve into a conversation with Jeremy Nagel, creator of Focus Bear, examining the intersection of cognitive science, mental well-being, and technology's impact on our daily lives. The discussion revolves around implementing behavioral strategies to mitigate tech-induced anxiety and distraction.
They navigate the nuances of utilizing digital tools like Focus Bear as a means to bolster the 'planner brain' against our more primal instincts, reinforcing the notion that self-discipline can be cultivated through thoughtful design and self-awareness practices. Furthermore, the conversation broadens to embrace the nuances of ADHD and how neurodiversity can shape our perceptions of justice and activism, emphasizing the importance of diverse perspectives in addressing global challenges.
