The article discusses the increasing volume of emails and the consequent stress in modern workplaces, emphasizing the need for mindfulness. David Cox of Headspace predicts that employers will focus on creating mindful environments by 2030, incorporating technology-free days and redesigned workspaces. Advances in neuroscience, such as low-intensity transcranial-focused ultrasound (TFUS), target brain areas linked to mindfulness and daydreaming. Additionally, companies are developing wearable devices that monitor brain activity, aiming to enhance focus and incorporate mindfulness into daily routines, thus addressing the challenges posed by a technology-driven work culture.
Researchers at the University of Arizona have utilized low-intensity transcranial-focused ultrasound (TFUS) to non-invasively target the brain's default mode network, particularly the posterior cingulate cortex.
As technology starts to close in on us, David Cox believes that by 2030 employers will work towards building a more mindful work environment that promotes technology-free days.
