Why this book

From insight to sustainable performance.

Who it's for

The modern manager, HR professional, and entrepreneur who notices their own schedule, and their team's, growing fuller and more fragmented by the day.

What you'll learn

How to structurally reduce technostress, protect mental focus, and prevent burnout-related absence, with concrete frameworks instead of vague advice.

Why this book is different

Philosophical depth rooted in moral science, combined with directly applicable, grounded tools. Not another quick-fix time management book.

From book to practice

Want to go further than the book alone? The approach translates directly into a keynote, team workshop, or 1-on-1 coaching program.

"Daan Annemans and Anouk Doore expose an important blind spot: leaders appear to be most in control of their own work and schedule, but in reality belong to the highest-risk group for chronic digital overload. By combining insights from sports, recovery, and rest with insights on digital wellbeing and technology design, Digitale Fitheid voor Leiders offers a practical guide that gives leaders the tools to build a sustainable relationship with technology, at the individual, team, and organizational level."

Prof. dr. Mariek Vanden Abeele, Professor of Digital Culture, Ghent University

"In a world of digital overstimulation and constant availability, 'Digitale Fitheid voor Leiders' gives readers clear tools to act as a corporate athlete. Just as (elite) athletes know that sustainable performance is only possible when effort and recovery are in balance, this book helps you rediscover energy, focus, and rhythm, for yourself and your team."

Aline Fobe, Managing Director, Golazo Energy

"The faster technology and AI change the way we work, the more important our human skills become. This book shows, in a remarkably accessible and practical way, how leaders can strengthen energy, focus, and conscious leadership to perform sustainably in a digital world."

Luc Langegaard, Managing Partner & Head of HR, Humanistix

"Some books give insight, others genuinely move you to act. This book does both. It gave me words for patterns I sometimes recognized intuitively, and inspired me to make more conscious choices around energy, attention, and focus. At the same time, it makes clear that digital fitness isn't only an individual responsibility, it also requires courageous choices from leaders and organizations."

Ann De Wit
