- Can turn you into a jerk.
- Can be more addictive than alcohol and tobacco.
- And checking email frequently is the equivalent of dropping your IQ 10 points.

OUCH/SCARY:
According to a 2012 McKinsey Global Institute report on the social economy, knowledge workers spend 28 percent of their time wading through their inboxes. According to Lookout, the mobile-security firm, 58 percent of smartphone users say they don’t go an hour without checking their phones. And not just waking hours. Lookout reported that 54 percent of smartphone users check their phones while lying in bed. Almost 40 percent say they check their phones while on the toilet. Some 9 percent admit to checking their phones during religious services.
With all this email checking we sure have our phones on our hips quite often. It is also hypothesized that cell phone radiation may be a contributor to cancer. So reducing cell phone radiation exposure is always a good thing in my book!

I see it all the time and it really frustrates me. People on the phone while in the company of others.. Are we really enjoying the moment?
My question I pose to you, how do you answer someone or something that wants to take all your time, money, energy, and/or love?
Here's my book recommendation: Boundaries
Time is one of our most precious commodities and something that I want to think very carefully about how I spend it, before you know it it's gone and well you CAN'T get the moment back!
