Thanks, Larry! We (www.offtime.co) operate on this hypothesis that single tasking is better than multitasking and develop solutions for that! A evaluation with the Humboldt University of Berlin (1) showed that people that used our app are checking their phone not less frequently (thus single task more) and are then more relaxed, can better detach and have also a higher work vigor! It’s good to get into the habit of single tasking — and there are are apps that allow us to customize our connectivity to support us with making technology less distracting.

Best regards,
Alex
