  • Yes, smartphones are designed to keep your attention, but even when it is out of reach, people will still find ways to procrastinate, a new study shows.

The article from MSN discusses a study which suggests that while smartphones are often blamed for causing distractions, they are not the sole culprits. The research indicates that distractions are also significantly influenced by environmental factors, personal habits, and the nature of the tasks at hand. For instance, environments with high levels of noise or visual stimuli can contribute to distraction as much as the notifications from a phone. Additionally, the study points out that individual differences in attention span and the complexity of the work being done play crucial roles in how easily one gets distracted. The findings encourage a broader approach to managing distractions, suggesting that alongside reducing smartphone use, creating a conducive work environment and understanding one's own work habits are equally important.
