Screen Time: Tip of the Week #3 – Cognitive Problems

Kaarin Anderson Ryan, PhD

Research has shown that our cognitive capacity can be affected by even the presence of phones and devices. To get the most concentration on something you are working on, consider putting your phone away, or at the very least using the focus features to reduce distraction. Also consider going through your apps and reducing the number of notifications you allow to a bare minimum. The more you can focus on what you are doing, the more you will accomplish in a shorter period of time.
