Screen Life: Finding Balance in a World Full of Screens

In an era where our devices are engineered to demand our constant attention, finding a sense of balance can feel like an uphill battle. If you've been looking for a way to disconnect without completely unplugging from the world, the 'Screen Life' workshop is a timely intervention. Hosted at the University of Toronto’s Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus as part of Toronto Tech Week 2026, this two-hour session moves beyond generic advice to offer a tangible, research-backed framework for digital wellness.

What to Expect This isn't just another lecture on why screens are bad for you. Instead, the workshop brings together a curated panel of practitioners—experts in focus, burnout, family dynamics, and even AI—to help you navigate the complexities of modern connectivity. You will start with a personal assessment to understand your specific digital habits, followed by a deep dive into practical strategies for reclaiming your time. The goal is to leave with a concrete, personalized plan that fits into your actual life, not just an idealized version of it.

Why It Matters Whether you are struggling with work-life boundaries, feeling the weight of constant notifications, or simply want to be more intentional with your screen time, this session offers a judgment-free space to reset. By grounding the conversation in research and focusing on actionable outcomes, the organizers—Offline.now and the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus Ecosystem team—are providing a much-needed toolkit for the digital age.
