Technology promised us productivity and delivered on the promise, but didn’t tell
us the cost was our sanity.

We check our phones more than 150 times per day. Knowledge workers spend a third of their day in email. Teenagers (aged 14-17) send 4,000 texts/month, or every six
minutes online.
Why?

Distracted
FOMO, FOBO, Procrastination

So many choices!
● Decision fatigue
● Accept sub-optimal outcomes

At work...Attention Economy

At work...Notifications
How can we design notifications as if it were a human (Your mom) doing it?
How can we design apps so it makes us spend time well?
PS: Turn off all your notifications except when *people* (not apps or businesses) are trying to reach you

We train ourselves to self interrupt. Every 3.5 minutes.

Continuous Partial Attention
In a 24/7, always-on world, continuous partial attention used as our dominant attention mode contributes to a feeling of overwhelm, over-
stimulation and to a sense of being unfulfilled. We are so accessible, we’re inaccessible.
Connected, yet alone?
Connected, yet disconnected?
