Description

On The Mindful Living, host Sana and Colin Corby—CEO & Founder of Technology Wellbeing Ltd, TEDx speaker, and creator of the Digital Detox Coach—break down how to reclaim time, attention, and health in a hyper-connected world. From Colin’s mid-30s stress wake-up call to finishing Ironman triathlons, this conversation makes the case for training your mind like an athlete, building sustainable digital habits, and using slow, focused work to do better work. We cover habit formation, environment design, loneliness in the digital age, and why sleep and presence are performance multipliers. If you’re feeling tethered to screens, this is a practical reset.


About the guest:

Colin Corby is a digital wellbeing coach and TEDx speaker who founded Technology Wellbeing Ltd. After experiencing stress-related health issues while leading tech programs in the 1990s, he rebuilt his life through endurance sport and now helps professionals and teams create sustainable, human-first tech habits.


Key takeaways:


  • Digital wellbeing isn’t about quitting tech; it’s about using technology on purpose and protecting your attention for high-value work.




  • Treat your career like an endurance event: sleep, nutrition, training, coaching, and periodized focus drive long-term performance.




  • Monotasking beats multitasking: switching degrades cognition, raises stress, and lowers output.




  • Habits form through repetition over time (think 66–200 days); start small, stack wins, track momentum.




  • Environment design reduces willpower load: create phone-free zones/times; change spaces to change behavior.




  • Community matters: be fully present with people; in-person connection counters stress and loneliness.




  • For tight schedules and limited resources, guard sleep and cut entertainment scrolling first.




  • In the AI era, double down on human advantages—imagination, real-world sensing, empathy, collaboration.




  • Visualization creates a felt memory that pulls you toward the behavior you want.




  • Self-care is a strength: you can’t support others if you’re depleted.
