How many times per day do you check your phone?
If you are like the average American, that number hovers around 80 times per day.
Or if you’re a millennial, it might be a staggering 150 times per day!
Chances are you instinctively grab your phone when waiting in line at Starbucks, when bored in a meeting at work, and probably even when you’re stopped at a red light.
It is likely that you check your phone first thing in the morning (61% of people do) and last thing before bed (75% of people bring their phone to bed).
Although you might not want to admit it, you could be on your phone for over three and a half hours per day(the average for US adults), which adds up to more than 50 days per year!
The reality is that the average person checks their email 15 times per day, and the average US worker spends 6.3 hours a day checking and responding to emails.
What is this addiction to our phone — and constantly being connected — doing to us?
It making us seriously stressed out.
Nearly one-fifth of Americans say their use of technology stresses them out, and stress levels run highest for “constant checkers.”
