  + stars: | 2024-04-17 | by ( Renée Onque | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
The frequent use of them and other tech devices can be draining and distracting and still, it is difficult for us to cut down. Americans check their phones 144 times a day on average, according to a 2023 survey by Reviews.org. Constantly looking at your smartphone can negatively impact the depth of your conversations, Anastasia Dedyukhina, a digital wellbeing expert, tells CNBC Make It. "If I had my smartphone next to me, it would attract my attention, consciously or unconsciously," Dedyukhina says. Here are some tips for practicing digital mindfulness from Dedyukhina who ditched her smartphone for a year and half.

☆ The many states of the brain: What’s going on inside your head and how to optimize it
  + stars: | 2023-09-14 | by ( Dr. Sanjay Gupta | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +11 min
Honestly, in the beginning, it was to just try to help my own brain; my grandfather had dementia, and that worried me. I’ll also explore what happens to our brain when we express gratitude, swipe on a dating app (over and over again) and eat certain (brain) foods. Our executive function can work really well and can help keep us on track. “There are peaks and valleys of focus throughout the day, and this corresponds with the ebb and flow of our attentional resources,” Mark explained. Also, she said, “if you have some really important task to do, take a really good break before you begin it.

☆ Some tech workers spend only 4 hours a day on productive work: Blind poll
  + stars: | 2023-05-30 | by ( Grace Kay | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Nearly 45% of tech workers in a Blind poll said they spend four hours or fewer on "focused work." Some high-paid tech workers say they're only spending a few hours a day doing "real work," according to a new poll on the anonymous job messaging site Blind. Last week, a tech worker asked thousands of their peers how much time they spend on "focused work" each day. While many workers said they had fewer than eight hours of productive work each day because of the mental strain, others blamed an overload of meetings. Earlier this year, C3.ai CEO Thomas Siebel said tech workers are "doing nothing working from home."
☆ A psychology expert shares the 3 things she always does to boost her brain energy
  + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( Gloria Mark | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Here's how I plan my day to boost focus, feel happier and get more done:1. Many people prefer to begin their day with rote work (tasks that are repetitive and don't require much brain energy) before diving into harder work. I save the hardest tasks for my peak focus time. Your peak focus time is impacted by your natural circadian rhythm. My peak time is around 11:00 a.m., so I start my day a few hours earlier by looking at news headlines.
☆ How to focus with a short attention span
  + stars: | 2023-01-11 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
In her book “Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity,” Mark explains how decades of research have tracked the decline of the ability to focus. “In 2004, we measured the average attention on a screen to be 2½ minutes,” Mark said. “In fact, our research shows it takes 25 minutes, 26 seconds, before we go back to the original working sphere or project,” Mark said. “And then you go back and pick up the original interrupted project,” Mark said. For over 25 minutes, you’re actually working on other things.”(At least I can tell my boss that when I miss my deadline.)

☆ How to Restore Our Dwindling Attention Spans
  + stars: | 2023-01-06 | by ( Gloria Mark | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
A question has increasingly plagued me since I began studying our relationship with technology about two decades ago: Will we ever pay attention again? The concern arose from measuring the shrinking attention spans of hundreds of knowledge workers in a variety of work roles. Whether we’re talking about a Gen Z or a baby boomer, a CEO or an administrative assistant, attention spans on our computers and phones are short and declining. We used sophisticated computer logging techniques to measure attention spans and heart rate monitors and wearable devices to measure stress. Back in 2004, we found that people averaged 150 seconds on any screen before switching to another screen.
