According to Ofcom, people in the UK now check their smartphones, on average, every 12 minutes of the waking day.
Like checking email on a desktop or laptop throughout the day, looking at our phone so often is pointless, to a large extent, because usually nothing’s changed since the last time we looked.
I try to limit checking email to lunchtimes and the end of each day to save a whole lot of life.
All I have to do now is reduce my lunch break from four hours to one.
