Digital Overwhelm in the Workplace with Dr. Craig Mattson
Manage episode 480221485 series 3567325
The digital workplace isn't just changing how we work—it's fundamentally altering how we communicate, learn, and connect. After spending years interviewing dozens of Millennial and Gen Z professionals, Dr. Craig Mattson uncovered surprising patterns in how people cope with the constant barrage of platforms, tools, and digital expectations.
While popular advice suggests digital minimalism as the solution, Mattson's research reveals a more nuanced reality. For most professionals, simply using fewer tools isn't an option. Instead, developing what he calls "digital flexibility" proves far more effective—the ability to navigate between different communication modes depending on the situation.
Whether you're leading remote teams, designing training programs, or simply trying to stay sane in your own digital workday, this conversation provides practical strategies for turning digital overwhelm into digital flexibility. Check out Dr. Mattson's book "Digital Overwhelm" and connect with him at themodeswitch.com to continue the conversation.
