In those first few days, i felt like my wrist was vibrating constantly, zapping me out of concentration, pulling my attention away from what I was doing. What I didn’t account for in the beginning – was how insane all the notification on my wrist would make me feel. The last thing I wanted was more notifications attached to my wrist, constantly vying for my attention.īut – as the years passed, I began to see how having an apple watch could be helpful, and cut down on my actual phone screen time. No offense to you early adopters, but I was very anti-Apple watch.
Actually – rewind further than that… I remember when Apple Watches first came out. I feel you – I remember when I first got my Apple Watch. We feel constantly busy – our brains are lighting up nonstop with all of the novelty and newness of switching – and yet we so often get to the 5PM clock out wondering… wait – what exactly did I accomplish today? That doesn’t include notifications, pings, dings and buzzes coming in through your smartphone either.Īnd as a result of all of those distractions, our attention is zipping around like a little silver ball in a pinball machine… or like a bucket of spilled ping pong balls bouncing around all over the place. Research has shown that when you’re working in front of a computer – which I’m going to bet is a large percentage of you – that you are hit with a distraction of some sort – every 40 seconds.

The toughest part? No one could have ever prepared us for how to manage all of this information that’s constantly coming our way. Tech – in the form of apps, bottomless email inboxes and the neverending Facebook or Instagram scroll have been a big part of our lives for years now. The past year of life during a pandemic has increased our dependency on it in many ways – Virtual learning, Zoom meetings, the list goes on and on – but let’s be real. There’s no question that there are pro’s and con’s of all the technology that’s spread across nearly every aspect of our lives.
