Description:

According to a 2023 study, we check our cell phones an average of 144 times a day. Shocking, right? 

Well, how about this… 

The average user spends 4 hours and 25 minutes on their phones a day. 
89% of smartphone users check their phones within 10 minutes of waking up. 
56% of Gen Zers report being addicted to their phones. 
It takes the brain up to 23 minutes to refocus after a distraction. 

So, why does this matter? 

Join us to find out.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss the impact cell phone usage has on attention. 
• Review the role of dopamine in the formation of technology addiction. 
• Understand basic brain functioning and how it prevents the brain from multi-tasking. 
• Develop strategies for repairing the brain’s focus and avoiding the distraction trap.
