In an age of information overload, we can’t seem to look away from our screens. This can come at a cost, especially for today’s working professional. Being “on” typically means being interrupted, which can impact our productivity, stress levels, and well-being.

Ali Maresh, a former communications professional at Georgetown University will share her story about overcoming her own struggles with overusing technology and how she went from starting her career in social media marketing to starting a business that encourages people to put away their phones more.

In addition to learning from Ali’s personal story, audience members will learn:

• The science behind why it’s so difficult to unplug.

• How task switching can impact productivity and stress levels.

• Strategies for limiting digital distractions in the office and at home.


We strive to be an inclusive organization and encourage our members to engage with, learn from, and develop an understanding of others. We prioritize the safety of our community and expect behavior that exhibits respect for all people and supports these values at all Magnet gatherings.
