In your pocket, you have access to all of the world’s information, your friends, family and colleagues. Your phone can entertain you, give you news and celebrity gossip. It's now also a gateway to virtual reality. And all of those things are engineered to capture a slice of your attention.
Every slice you give to your distractions, is a larger slice you take away from your important and meaningful work. Things that require focus and effort. The deep work.
