It\u2019s time to disconnect, recharge your mind and take a break from your devices.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Monday morning: the first thing you do is grab your smartphone from the nightstand and check your email, social media and even the weather.<\/p>\n

As the day goes on, you find yourself interrupting whatever you are doing to check your Facebook account for the hundredth time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Signs of cellphone addiction include considering your phone part of you.<\/p><\/div>\n

If this describes you, maybe you should disconnect to help increase your efficiency.<\/p>\n

The typical smartphone user checks his or her device an astonishing average of 2,617 times every day, according to a study by research firm Dscout<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But extreme cellphone users \u2014meaning the top 10%\u2014 are a completely different story, checking their phones over 5,400 times a day.<\/p>\n

The flip-side of the immediacy and availability brought about by smartphones is the lure of time-consuming apps, social media and the like.<\/p>\n

It has become something of a taboo to disregard the constant stream of updates on your devices. But sometimes you need to embrace missing out.<\/p>\n

Addiction to mobile, impossible to disconnect<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The average American spends nearly half a day staring at a screen. A Nielsen Company<\/a> audience study revealed that adults in the US devoted about 10 hours and 39 minutes each day to consuming digital content during the first quarter of 2016.<\/p>\n

That includes time spent on tablets, smartphones, personal computers, multimedia devices, videogames, radios, DVDs and TVs. In 2015, that time was one hour less, according to Nielsen.<\/p>\n

This situation could be explained to the rise in smartphone and tablet usage. The report concluded that out of 168 hours in a week, Americans spend more than 50 with devices, said Douglas Gentile, professor of psychology at Iowa State University.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people are spending over 50 hours a week with media for entertainment purposes, then there\u2019s really no time left for any of the other things we value,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s time to disconnect, unplug, recharge your mind and take a break from your devices. Keeping your cellphone on constantly is bad for your health and your productivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
