Everyone’s solution is different.
It depends on the person and the task. Writing a report, collaborating on a project or getting better sleep each call for a different digital environment.
We start with what someone is trying to do.
Our work grew out of more than a decade of research at Oxford into digital self-control. We train groups of students or staff, and also provide 24-7 online learning and support.
