Digital Mentoring

What belongs to a balanced, digital everyday life?

Digital balance is more complex than just putting your phone away. We support you in all areas of life where digital media play a role.

  • When was the last time you could work concentrated for an hour without being interrupted?

  • On how many devices and apps are you reachable? How quickly do you have to respond? And when it's your boss?

  • Does your home make digital balance easy? Where does your phone sleep? How far do you have to walk to get it?

  • Who gets more of your attention: the person you're having dinner with, or the person whose WhatsApp message just interrupted their sentence?

  • Does technology help you achieve your goals, feel connected, educate yourself? Or does it show you what you don't have, how much time you've lost again, and how mean people can be online?

  • Does your phone keep you awake longer than you wanted? Does it wake you up with notifications? Did you miss the gym because of scrolling? Or do you enjoy a gaming session after a balanced day?

  • With ChatGPT it's easier to write an unpleasant email. But would you say it yourself? Did you want to say exactly that? Does it sound like you? And how would you have said it to their face?

Goldilocks Balance

Where is your perfect balance?

We accompany you in determining your personal sweet spot. Because what matters is not just screen time, but how you actively shape that time.

Personal Consultation & Digital Guidance

Our digital devices are tools – the most powerful we've ever had. At the same time, they have the potential to absorb our attention, cause stress and undermine our own needs. We help you set yourself up so that you stay at the helm.

Children learn in no time how to use the tablet, how to swipe, how to zoom, what the phone's PIN is. Quite automatically, because the devices are optimized for intuitive use. Almost too well. But how do you learn to distance yourself from notifications when they take your focus? How do you know you're still deciding for yourself and not the algorithm for you? How do you notice whether the stressful feeling at work really comes from the work and not from being always digitally reachable?

Whether it's about your own digital life or that of your family, about breaking problematic patterns or simply getting comfortable in the digital world – you don't have to solve this alone.

In a structured conversation, we clarify your individual situation, questions and needs and work together to develop concrete, practical steps that help you use digital media as what they are: tools that help you lead your life.

Technical Implementation & Device Setup

It's impressive what digital technologies can do today. If only we knew how to stop them from being able to do everything.

Smartphones, tablets, computers, smart TVs and consoles – each of these devices can do more today than the computers that flew the Apollo mission to the moon. By default, almost everything is usually allowed: unlimited content, purchases with one click, endless apps, screen times without limits. In addition, each operating system has its own settings, each app has its own rules – and what worked yesterday can be different again tomorrow. We take this complexity off your hands.

We come to your home on request or work together with all relevant devices at our place and set them up according to your needs and life situation.

Manufacturer and operating system don't matter. Perhaps you need measures to better separate your home office from leisure, or apps to protect your focus, or content restrictions for your children. Our solutions are individual, not general. The service can be one-time when it comes to basic setup, or regularly adjusted when life phases or needs change.

So your devices become tools again instead of us becoming theirs.

Digital Balance in the Workplace: The Blind Spot

We support companies in creating digital work cultures that promote productivity, clarity and focus.

With the home office, many stressors disappear – the commute, the office noise, the restaurant costs. At the same time, invisible burdens often arise: the constant fragmentation through chat messages, the exhaustion from 'video call fatigue' and the gradual blurring of boundaries between private and professional. Burnout and exhaustion today often result less from the actual work content, but rather from permanent digital overload and constant fragmentation of focus.

We give an overview of the research, put it into context, and translate it into practical guidelines, then analyze existing processes and support implementation and change management. This way, 'home' can be better separated from 'office', productivity and clarity can be increased, and recovery phases can be used more deliberately.

Whether small teams or growing organizations: we help create digital structures that promote clarity and focus.

Auszeit-Retreats

Retreats

'Digital detox' sounds promising and liberating – and there are countless corresponding online offers. Anyone who looks more closely, however, notices: Often it's just a few days in a mountain hut without reception. What for some is a welcome break means for others pure stress, because they suddenly feel cut off from the world.

For a digital break to have a lasting effect, it needs targeted design: mental preparation for the distance from the screen, a conscious engagement with one's own digital habits during the break, and guided reintegration into everyday life.

Our retreats offer a clear, thoughtful framework with professional support, meditation offerings, yoga, Pilates and movement in nature. The rule: each guest uses exactly as many – or as few – offerings as they need at the moment.

"I constantly reach for my phone"

Click to expand

1) Initial Situation

  • Hours of scrolling on Instagram, Reddit & Co.

  • Several own attempts (deleting apps, setting timers) have repeatedly failed

2) Steps Taken

  • Joint analysis of media habits and triggers
  • Technical setup of devices: time-limited access to highly engaging apps, blocking selected content
  • Accompanying counseling to make sense of typical adjustment reactions and build practical routines
  • Start with a retreat as a conscious, protected entry
  • Counseling with concrete suggestions for analog alternatives

3) Long-term Plan

  • Regular check-ins for questions or setbacks
  • Gradual adjustment of technical restrictions in parallel with building personal strategies
  • Adjustment of settings to new life phases and needs

4) Effect

  • The phone is used consciously again – not automatically
  • Scrolling apps lose their appeal
  • New joy and balance through an analog hobby
  • More peace, focus and the feeling of being able to control your own everyday life again

Kind

"Set up, accompany children, let go"

Click to expand

1) Initial Situation

  • A 9-year-old child naturally uses smartphone, tablet and game consoles
  • The parents want to enable use – but protect from inappropriate content, excessive scrolling and hidden costs
  • At the same time, they notice: Children often know the workarounds better than the settings (in-game purchases, new apps, new ways around limits)
  • Parents don't want to constantly readjust technical settings – but reliably accompany

2) Steps Taken

  • Joint counseling with parents and child:
    What is allowed, what is (not yet) – and why? Which content and games fit the age? How does "too much screen" actually feel? Building clear, understandable rules and routines.
  • Technical implementation on all relevant devices:
    Protection from age-inappropriate content (e.g. violence or pornography). Restriction of scrolling apps, pay-to-win mechanics and in-app purchases. Time-limited releases and simple options for parents to allow or block content – without technical knowledge.

3) Long-term Plan

  • Adjustment of settings with the age and needs of the child
  • Regular conversations instead of constant control
  • Support for parents when new devices, apps or questions arise

4) Effect

  • The child can use digital media – protected and age-appropriate
  • Fewer conflicts because rules are clear and understandable
  • Parents don't have to know every workaround
  • More peace in family everyday life – and trust on both sides

Homeoffice mit vielen Unterbrechungen

"Email, Teams, meetings... I barely get any actual work done"

Click to expand

1) Initial Situation

  • A person works from home and is constantly pulled across multiple channels
  • Dozens of emails per day, ongoing Teams messages, spontaneous Teams calls and scheduled meetings fragment the day
  • As a mother, she also needs to stay reachable for daycare and react flexibly
  • By evening, the feeling is often the same: busy all day, but hardly any real progress

2) Steps Taken

  • Situation analysis:
    We do a baseline check with a digital stress questionnaire. Together, we look at how the morning start into the home-office day works, which availability norms exist in the company, which boundary-setting options are realistic, and how the digital and physical work environment affects concentration.
  • Practical measures in everyday work:
    We create awareness for interruption patterns, set personal boundaries, design a focus-friendly environment, build clear transitions into the day and schedule breaks deliberately.
  • Technical implementation:
    We set up focus modes on smartphone and laptop, mute unnecessary notifications and manage availability in a more intentional way.

3) Long-term Plan

  • If needed, a renewed baseline check after two weeks
  • Additional technical adjustments where necessary
  • Recalibration as soon as new issues or stressors appear
  • Coaching support if implementation gets difficult in daily life

4) Effect

  • More efficient work and better quality, despite regular breaks
  • Less exhaustion and significantly less stress during the workday
  • Less need to recover in the evening
  • More calm and clarity through consciously set personal boundaries
