On Mind over matter, we get practical about digital well-being with Colin Corby—tech speaker, Digital Detox Coach, and mindset mentor. Colin explains how constant connectivity erodes attention, sleep, and creativity, and why leaders should treat performance like athletes do: train, recover, and set non-negotiable boundaries. Drawing on his own story—from stress and overwork to completing Iron-distance triathlons and swimming Lake Windermere (11 miles)—Colin shows how small, repeatable actions (not willpower) rebuild focus. We cover habit formation (think ~66 days), visualisation, environment design, and why the mere presence of a smartphone near your bed hurts sleep. We close with tangible micro-detoxes to reclaim presence at work and at home.

About the guest :

Colin Corby is a tech industry veteran turned Digital Detox & Mindset Coach. He helps professionals and teams protect attention, sleep, and creativity with clear tech boundaries and the “business athlete” approach to sustained performance.

Key takeaways:

Performance = habits, not hacks. Train like an athlete: sleep, nutrition, movement, recovery, and clear goals drive better problem-solving and presentations.
Boundaries create balance. Separate spaces for work/rest; add “phone-free” rules at meals and evenings; move the phone out of the bedroom—use a real alarm.
Environment beats willpower. Reduce triggers: put the charger in another room, read a book at night, and pick offline spaces for focus blocks.
Start tiny, compound slowly. Build change with small steps (10–15-minute offline breaks, walk to a different room, close your eyes to reset visual overload).
Make it social. Enjoy online content together (share the fun, don’t scroll alone); be fully present with people in front of you.
Mindset shift: business athlete. Self-care isn’t “soft”—it’s how leaders deliver under pressure. Treat sleep before big days as non-negotiable.
Guard your skills in the AI era. Don’t outsource all thinking; keep writing, reading, and critical-thinking muscles active.
Visualize the finish line. Use athlete-style visualization to stick with new routines for the long run (habits often need ~66 days).
