Questions & Answers

Concrete questions, short answers – and the magazine articles that help further.

Digital life

What is a digital detox – and how does it work?

A deliberate break from smartphone and internet. A clear framework helps: fixed offline times, notifications off, analogue alternatives. The goal is not abstinence but self-determination.

What lies behind the quantified self?

Self-tracking with apps and wearables – steps, sleep, pulse. It can motivate, but also create pressure. What matters is who interprets the data and for what purpose.

What is tech theology?

Reflecting on technology from a theological and ethical perspective: what is a good life in the digital age, and what does freedom mean when algorithms help decide?

Work

What does New Work mean?

Work that puts meaning, self-determination and development at the centre – with flexible places and times, but also responsibility. It needs inner focus and outer clarity.

How do I find my purpose?

Questions help: what gives me energy, what do I stand up for, where do others say I’m good? Purpose often grows by doing, not by brooding.

What does coaching bring?

A coach asks questions rather than giving answers and helps you find your own goals and solutions. Trust, clear goals and a properly trained coach are essential.

What is a coworking space?

A shared workplace for freelancers, remote workers and founders – with desks, internet, coffee and community. Often a place for chance encounters and new ideas.

How do agile project management and mindfulness fit together?

Both rely on short cycles, pausing and reflection. Regularly looking back at what went well makes work not only faster but calmer.

The answers are brief editorial notes and are no substitute for individual advice.
