Switch Off

This evening I found out that our brains can’t distinguish between working and not working when we’re on our phones. So that means, even if we take a break from work to scroll through social media or watch a video or read an article, our brains still think we’re working.

Think about that: how many hours does your brain think you work?

Woah.

No wonder we’re a society of burnt out people.

Extra fun fact: researchers (don’t ask me where from, go ask Celeste Headlee) found that our brain is constantly aware and on high alert just for having a smart phone in our field of vision.

It’s not tech that is causing us damage though.

It’s our obsession with using it all the time.

The message today: do something that doesn’t involve tech!
