Digital wellness is about staying mentally balanced while working from a place that is also your home. When there is no physical commute or office door to separate your workday from your personal time, that boundary has to be built on purpose.
This category covers the real, everyday side of that problem: managing screen time, structuring focus without relying purely on willpower, handling notification overload, and recognizing early signs of burnout before they take hold. The advice here is specific and evidence based, built for people working a full schedule, not routines that require an extra two hours in the morning.
