#digital-overload

On a typical workday, I receive between 200 and 300 emails, 100 to 200 text messages, 100 or more instant messages across various social media platforms, and over 50 voicemails on both my cell and work lines. The only way to manage this much input is to triage what's essential and what is not and do my best to respond as quickly and succinctly as possible.

From the moment we wake up until we fall asleep, screens frame our days, disrupting our focus and weakening emotional connections, leading to emotional exhaustion and social isolation.
