DESCRIPTION
There is a war for our attention … and we are losing. Mounting research suggests we are being driven to a state of near-constant distraction by an onslaught of message notifications and the overwhelming temptation to multitask in the always-on, connected world. However, research shows multitasking makes us less effective, increases mistakes and stress, and costs the global economy an estimated $450 billion annually.
