Digital Overwhelm
A Mid-Career Guide to Coping at Work
Book • 2024
Craig Mattson examines how accelerating technologies and workplace expectations produce a state of digital overwhelm for early- and mid-career workers.
Drawing on interviews and research, he identifies patterns of experience and coping strategies—emphasizing acceptance, presence, and community rather than mastery of every new tool.
The book situates technological change within broader cultural and institutional pressures that shape young professionals' attitudes toward work and meaning.
Mattson offers practical guidance such as mode-switching in communication and slowing down to cultivate presence.
The work aims to help readers navigate modern work cultures while protecting mental and relational well-being.
