Neurology Health: Understanding Dementia – A Brief Focus on Nigeria

author – CHINNO HEMJIRIKA
This book, “Understanding Dementia and The Needs of People Living with Dementia: A Brief Focus on
Nigeria” is a concise and informative guide designed to raise awareness about dementia, specifically within
black and minority ethnic communities in the United Kingdom and across the African continent. The book
aims to assist carers, service providers, and family members in understanding the unique needs of
individuals living with dementia and how to support them effectively throughout their dementia journey.

Why This Book?

The book was created to address the critical need for increased dementia awareness in ethnically diverse
communities. Studies have shown that individuals from these communities are more likely to delay seeking
help for dementia and other health-related issues. By providing a straightforward and culturally sensitive
resource, the book encourages families to seek early diagnosis and treatment, and it promotes high-quality,
person-centred care that respects cultural heritage and addresses specific challenges of the individual living
with dementia.

The author, Chinno, based in the UK, is an expert in dementia affairs

Who Benefits From This Book?

The primary audience includes carers, healthcare providers, and family members within hard-to-reach
communities in both rural and urban areas of Nigeria and other African countries. The book will be
translated into major Nigerian languages such as Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba, and eventually into other ethnic
languages like Edo, Ibibio, and Tiv. Additionally, the Nigerian diaspora in the United Kingdom is a key target
audience, with insights from their participation in a small, randomised survey helping to shape the
contents. Eventually, the book will expand to research more on the other African diasporas in the United
Kingdom and across the globe. The book’s application is also compatible with any group. So we hope you
will support our efforts by getting your hands on a copy of the book.

 

 

Tips for Practicing Digital Minimalism

Here are some practical tips for incorporating digital minimalism into your life:

  • Limit Social Media Usage: Use apps that track your time spent on social platforms, and set specific limits for each day.
  • Declutter Your Digital Space: Delete apps and files that you no longer need, and organize your digital workspace to remove distractions.
  • Prioritize Offline Time: Set aside time every day to disconnect from technology and engage in offline activities like reading, exercising, or spending time with loved ones.
The key to living well in a high-tech world is to spend much less time using technology
- Cal Newport

Digital Decluttering Checklist

Before diving into digital minimalism, consider following this checklist to start your journey:

  • Unsubscribe from unnecessary newsletters and promotional emails.
  • Organize your computer’s files into clear folders.
  • Delete unused apps from your smartphone and tablet.
  • Remove yourself from social media groups that no longer serve your interests.
  • Set “Do Not Disturb” modes during work or relaxation hours.

Digital Minimalism in the Workplace

Comparison Between Digital Minimalism and Digital Detox

Aspect Digital Minimalism Digital Detox
Approach Mindful use of technology Complete break from technology
Duration Long-term lifestyle change Temporary break
Goal Reduce distractions and enhance focus Recharge mental energy
Focus Focus on essential digital activities Avoid all digital activities entirely

Digital minimalism can also be applied in professional settings. By limiting extra emails, notifications, and meetings, employees can focus better on tasks that truly matter. Here are some strategies to adopt digital minimalism at work:

  • Batch Emails: Instead of constantly checking emails, set designated times for email responses.
  • Use Communication Tools Wisely: Only use apps like Slack for necessary work-related conversations.
  • Limit Notifications: Turn off non-essential notifications to maintain focus during deep work sessions.

Is Digital Minimalism Right for You?

Digital minimalism isn’t about completely cutting out technology; it’s about using it wisely and purposefully. By making small, intentional changes, you can reduce digital clutter, enhance your productivity, and improve your overall well-being. It’s a lifestyle shift that encourages more meaningful interactions both online and offline.

Adopting digital minimalism is a personal journey, but it’s one that can lead to greater clarity and satisfaction in a digitally saturated world.
