Distractions by Technology

Are you constantly distracted by the technology in your life? We all have good intentions when we sit down in front of YouTube to look up to do something and then three hours later, we are looking at giraffes hopping around. What about the phone in your pocket that somehow ends up on the desk? There is a constant flood of information that comes in through all different channels such as mobile and web applications. It takes a lot of energy to be able to filter all of it and decide which of the information is relevant. It also takes a lot of time. If you are business professional or someone that relies on technological tools, do yourself a favor and take the time to find the tools that work for you so you do not end up wasting time and energy. As great as these tools can be, make sure to make time to completely unplug and stop looking at a screen. This means that no communication devices at the dinner table or in the bedroom.
