Are You Addicted? How To Overcome Digital ADD

You’re like a cocaine addict needing a fix. You crave it. You need it. You’ll DIE without it.

The two biggest culprits?

Your smartphone and watch.

They cause massive distraction. They take away your inability to be bored. They put pressure and overload on your mind.

I turned off the notifications on my Apple Watch because of the useless, intrusive updates.

I even got addicted to looking at the time, for no reason.

My phone is no better. I look at it for calls, text messages, Whatsapp, emails, or new articles I can read to keep my mind busy.

It’s stupid.

It hurts productivity.

It creates a strain on my brain.

I call people out on it. Someone on my team and I went on a business trip.

We went out for a few drinks, and in 10 minutes, I saw him look at his watch five times.

He looked at his phone several other times.

I asked him, do you know how many times you look at your watch?

He had no clue.
