If creativity begets happiness and happiness begets creativity, how can we get more of both? I recently had the pleasure of attending a presentation delivered by Amy Blankson, happiness researcher and bestselling author of The Future of Happiness, at the 2018 WorkHuman conference, an event sponsored by Globoforce to share ideas about the transformative power of human-centric organizations. Blankson delivered a powerful message about how we can remain happy consumers of technology and use it to maximize our creative potential. The key lies in our ability to control the negative disruption caused by technology. Now, disruption isn’t always a bad thing (check out our blog from last week!), but in order to give ourselves the room to innovate, we have to control the kind of disruption that devours our attention and derails our productivity. So many of us find ourselves glued to our cell phones, these handheld computers that constantly ring, beep, buzz, tweet, snap… they’ve become petulant children who refuse to be ignored! But the answer isn’t to ignore them. It’s to control them with intention and mindfulness.
