 The lost art of focus: being distracted in a digital world

Every 12 minutes, we check our phones, often right after waking up. Long-term mental health is harmed by always-on behavior, and we must learn to hit the stop button.

                  


It's impossible to imagine life before electronic gadgets. Now, we are controlled by technologies and "turned on" our personal and professional lives, making us available all the time, crucially, easily distracted, and interrupted every second of the day.

These constant breaks of our time and focus have become the new normal, to which we have easily adjusted, but there is a drawback: an increasing number of specialists are warning us that these interruptions and distractions are eroding our ability to focus.

Kids are going through a lot of trauma in their life and they don't share with others as their interactions with people are reducing because kids nowadays are glued to electronic gadgets. I'm sure you will agree with me. Recent research suggests that 65℅ of young children are using their gadgets frequently. Nowadays kids do not sleep properly; they eat more junk foods and forget the benefits of traditional foods. This can impact your kid's health.
