On eating habits at work: The biggest issue is time constraints, whether it is fatigue, a busy lifestyle or preparation. A new trend I’m seeing is people looking for a quick fix. Unfortunately, living a healthy lifestyle isn’t found in a pill. - Hilit Milner #GoodWorkZA

I had my own a-ha moment at a Singularity gathering where it was said that we fool ourselves that multi-tasking works. I was busy with a task and was interrupted by a phone call and I measured the time it took to refocus: 20 minutes! - dion chang #GoodWorkZA

I maintain a healthy work structure by putting my foot down. For example, I don’t schedule flights before 9 AM or I close my company for the year by mid-November. - dion chang #GoodWorkZA

Experts who know the ins and outs of what keeps you engaged (and addicted) are now being hired by social media companies. - Emma Sadleir Berkowitz #GoodWorkZA

Technology habits are learned from parents. A parent constantly checking her phone, turns to a parent beside her reading a book, asking: “How do you get your kids to read?", not realising the irony of the situation. #GoodWorkZA

Q: Are people getting addicted to work tech? There is a toxic storm brewing. They call it bombardment stress: work, social & political. We’re seeing companies taking responsibility for their workforce where they track anxiety, depression & loneliness. - dion chang #GoodWorkZA

Q: Should companies be mandated for workforce wellness? It’s in their best interest: You’re looking at productivity, social & environmental cohesion. The barrier is a company’s culture - this requires a top-down, but also bottom-up approach. - Hilit Milner #GoodWorkZA

When people crave a healthy lifestyle, it can be seen from a change scale. Often, people want a quick fix, but you need to assess where these people are on the scale. - Hilit Milner #GoodWorkZA

I challenge everyone to put their phone on greyscale for a week - it changes your brain’s response to apps and when (or if) you’d like to use them. - Emma Sadleir Berkowitz #GoodWorkZA

The Internet has no age limit - once you’re online, you’re online. Kids, today, are exposed to adult themes from as young as 11, however, they’re more lonely than ever and also more celibate. - Emma Sadleir Berkowitz #GoodWorkZA

Q: A lot of us feel stifled, creatively, by being online 24/7. What can be done about this? The first step is to admit that you’ve got an addiction, and then, allow yourself to be bored. Creativity often stems from boredom. - Emma Sadleir Berkowitz #GoodWorkZA

Q: What can companies do to address our wellness? The tide is turning - the 1st wave: People don’t *just* want a job, they crave purpose. The 2nd wave: What meaning do you provide your workers with? - dion chang #GoodWorkZA
