On Cosmic Confluence, Sana speaks with Colin Corby—technologist, TEDx speaker, endurance athlete, and founder/CEO of Technology Wellbeing Ltd.—about building a realistic digital detox practice in an AI-saturated world. Colin shares the moment stress forced a reset, how swim training rebuilt physiological resilience, and why “selective connectivity” beats going dark. We unpack AI detox (outsourcing thinking vs. keeping core skills), single-tasking to protect cognition, and simple, low-friction rituals that return you to presence. If your attention, energy, or sleep is paying the price for constant notifications, this conversation gives you practical steps you can implement today.

About the Guest:

Colin Corby is a technologist and The Digital Detox Coach, a TEDx speaker (“Are We Losing Our Human Identity to Technology?”), and endurance athlete. Through Technology Wellbeing Ltd., he helps individuals and teams reclaim time, focus, and health by balancing online demands with offline recovery.

Key Takeaways:

• Tipping points are data, not drama: escalating stress and fainting spells signaled a systems problem, not a personal failure.

• Train recovery, not just capacity: aerobic fitness improved heart-rate variability and reduced work stress—resilience is physiological and behavioral.

• Detox ≠ anti-tech: aim for strategic, selective connectivity that aligns with purpose and time costs.

• Start tiny and sensory: the fastest micro-reset is to close your eyes for 60 seconds, then stand up, hydrate, look at distance, or step into nature.

• Protect deep work with single-tasking: the brain “retunes” between tasks; constant switching adds stress and lowers output.

• AI detox is now essential: don’t outsource all cognition—keep writing, reading, and problem-solving reps so your skills compound.

• Design offline defaults: schedule hobbies, social time, movement, and sleep like meetings; change environments to reduce “sweet-shop” screen temptations.

• Measure what matters: attention breadth, sleep quality, and mood are better north stars than raw screen-time totals.
