A call to end the instant response culture

By Russell Dalgleish

‍

When you receive a message through your smart device do you feel an uncontrollable urge to read and respond immediately?

‍

Do you find your ability to concentrate or relax is not what it was?

‍

I argue in this article in Sifted that we are allowing the technology that we use today, designed to make our life easier, to actually place us under even more pressure.

‍

I'm very interested to hear your views on the article as I want to understand if this issue is widespread or only affecting certain individuals.
