I have heard of stoicism but don't know much about it. Nevertheless, I don't think ancient belief will be able to manage modern stress. Modern problems need modern solution.

Stoicism is a philosophy that emphasizes focusing on what you can control, accepting what you cannot, and cultivating inner calm. Applied to technology, it helps manage stress by encouraging mindful use, reducing emotional reactions to notifications or online pressures, and promoting perspective, self-discipline, and intentional engagement with digital life.
