Omschrijving

Join the inspirational talk and workshop “Focus on Distractions” led by Monika Matuszewska from LaMatu. This workshop is a part of the series of masterclasses and workshops organised by Team Rockstars IT for its employees and held at the office of the Amsterdam chapter.

TOPIC

How to maintain focus in a world full of distractions?
Modern technology brought us many blessings, but it is also fraught with some risks. As we become more dependent on the use of our devices, we find that dealing with distractions such as notifications, maintaining our focus and concentration is becoming increasingly hard. Our attention spans, the ability to think deeply and maintain focus became victims of the battle for our attention waged by the tech companies and advertising giants.

This session will touch upon current trends such as social media detox and dopamine fasting and examine the possible impact on our mental health. We will explore the mechanism of addictions in the context of modern news and social media and learn to take a step back and re-evaluate which of the messages that we focus on are merely distractions. Please bring with you to the event an open mind, friendly attitude, curiosity and positive energy.

Key questions:

  • Why is paying attention so hard?
  • Which human needs do modern media fulfil?
  • Why are modern media addictive?

Are you:

  • Sometimes finding yourself mindlessly scrolling on your device?
  • Experiencing feeling drained, tired & wired at the end of the day?
  • Having difficulty finishing a task of focus for a long time because of distractions?


Would you like to:

  • Discover new ways to find a healthy way of coping with distractions?
  • Find inspiration on how to break out of the negative spiral and make a positive change in your daily life instead?
  • Meet your colleagues and exchange ideas?

Reacties

    Kunnen we voor dit event bij het B. gebouw parkeren (ik neem aan dat overdag maar 8 plekken beschikbaar zijn)? Zo niet, weet iemand de beste alternatief is? Ik geloof het OV ook niet helemaal best is naar B. gebouw.

      Hi Ferry,
      Je kan bij B zeker parkeren en met het OV is het ook prima te bereiken!

      Mocht je met de auto komen kan je een parkeercode van iemand die overdag geparkeerd is overnemen. Hoe je dit aanpakt gaat als volgt: Check in de calendar wie er staat ingeschreven overdag voor een parkeerplek. Teams diegene om te vragen hoelaat hij/zij weggaat en vraag of je dan zijn/haar code mag gebruiken. Je kan namelijk niet inrijden als de code nog in gebruik is.

      Met het OV:
      Ga met de trein naar of Amstel station, Amsterdam Zuid of Bijlmer Arena, pak daar metro M50 of M51 richting Isolatorweg en stap uit bij Henk Sneevlietweg. Vanuit daar is het of 15 min lopen naar Johan Huizingalaan 400 of je pakt gratis bus 68 Riekerpolder en stapt de 2e halte uit (Amsterdam IBM)
      Tot dan!
