Do I have your attention? Let me ask you a question; What is the average number of times Americans check his/her smartphone?
Answer: Every six and a half minutes!! That is 150 times per day!!
Question #2; How many times do you check your smartphone?
Here is one of the numerous reasons this matters. Considering that smartphone addictions look like other addictions and considering that you waste a lot of time in Shallowville, it is really hard to go deep on any significant work. Researchers state that we are wasting up to eleven years of our life on distractions.
ELEVEN YEARS!!!
Author Adam Alter suggests that people spend 1-4 hours every day on their phones. Outside of sleeping, staying on our phones is the next most significant activity. That is 100 hours per month texting, playing games, surfing the web, reading articles, and checking bank balances. That all adds up to eleven years of your life!!
Do you want to reclaim some time back into your life – as in eleven years? Count how many times you check your phone today!
