What The Phone!

Are phones our new god? If you’re like most people, you probably have your phone on you at all times. One study shows that average people touch their smartphones 2,617 times a day. Heavy users touch their phones 5,427 times a day.

“Average users spent 145 minutes on their phones and engaged in 76 phone sessions per day. As for iPhone users, Apple recently confirmed that its device users unlock their phones 80 times every day. That’s about as much as six to seven times every hour. So no matter your smartphone preference, the facts make a clear point: We are addicted to our mobile devices.” —Business Insider

This is a lot of phone time, people. Take a break. Trust me; your phone will be right there waiting when you come back.

Benefits from phone breaks:

  • Your mental health will shoot up.

  • Your productivity will increase tenfold.

  • The amount of time you have available will increase.

  • Your eyes will get the break they’ve needed for years.
