When was the last time you checked your smartphone today? If you\u2019re the average American, you\u2019ve probably taken a peek in the last ten minutes<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing bad about it. You are human\u2014and humans have been conditioned to continuously check-in. You check in on work. You check in on the news. You check in on \u201cfriends\u201d who are not even your real friends at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, all that checking in does not come for free. It costs you your focus and productivity, not to mention it makes you less happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to blame social media, but your mind\u2019s addiction to Facebook or Instagram is not the only culprit. Workplace apps are equally dangerous. Communication channels such as Zoom, Teams, Slack, and email make it simple to collaborate on the fly, but they have also conditioned people to multitask. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But your brains do not like that. Every time you jump from one task to another, you cannot give a single task the total focus it deserves. You can\u2019t get into that sweet spot of problem solving. As an alternative, you spend more of your time doing less work and end up feeling anxious, frustrated, and unhappy<\/a> about it all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the answer to all those frustrations? Ditching chat apps and inboxes won\u2019t happen. One solution you can do is to train yourself to concentrate on one task at a time, interruption and distraction-free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Computer scientist and author Cal Newport calls that deep work, which could be the ultimate secret to happier and more productive work life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
