Everywhere you go today, you can probably spot people walking down the street buried in their phone, potentially driving and looking at their phone, or even laying in bed and clinging to their phone before they fall asleep.
If you think you spend less than an hour per day on your mobile device, think again.
Research shows that the average American spends
over four-hours per day on their mobile device. Just think about that for a minute.
25% of your lucid time each day is spent buried in your phone, sending text messages, checking social media, reading the news, or answering work correspondence.
And as you can imagine, statistics show these numbers are only increasing.
There’s no way to deny it: attention is on our phones.
So much so, that our society is starting to suffer from social impairment and lack of “present awareness” that is critical for mindfulness, and ultimately happiness.
But we’re not here to talk to you about the psychological side effects. We’re here to reiterate this point in a business sense.
