Mental well-being has always been important, and these days more and more of us are waking up to that fact. We need to take care of our mental health and well-being in the same way we take care of our physical health or our financial situation. And digital organization has a big role to play here. Take a look at a few of our digital organization mental health tips.

Make Mental Wellbeing One of Your Top Priorities

It's a common situation. You finally get something finished, you're winding down for the day, ready for some you-time, and then you get an email. All of a sudden, you've got something else to do, and that you-time goes out the window. Learning to say "no" when you need to is an important mental health tip, and digital technology can help you here. Setting out-of-office email notifications, or restricting work-related communications to specific chat channels or email accounts that you don't look at when you're not on duty, can help you achieve a healthier work/life balance.

Consider Your Goals Carefully

Targets and goals are great, but they could end up overwhelming you. Use a digital planning tool like Todoist or MyDailyPlanners to help you visualize your workload, and then make changes to the timescale so you stay motivated without feeling like you're taking too much on.

Make Time for Self-Care in Your Calendar 

You might already be blocking time in your digital calendar for work or for other tasks, but what about self-care? Don't forget about making time for family, for taking care of yourself, for resting and recharging, and for anything else you like to do. Build your self-care schedule into your calendar, and stick to it – you deserve it.
