Ever felt so exhausted in the middle of work and tried relaxing yourself scrolling through your favorite social media platforms or playing some games in your phone? It doesn’t help at all, says new research published in the Journal of Behavioral Addictions.
“The act of reaching for your phone between tasks, or mid-task, is becoming more commonplace. It is important to know the costs associated with reaching for this device during every spare minute. We assume it’s no different from any other break—but the phone may carry increasing levels of distraction that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks,” says Terri Kurtzberg, co-author of the research paper.
