You might have heard the quote “Where our attention goes, our energy flows.” This might or might not be a problem. Our work lives can involve lots of hours of screen time towards our business, projects & goals. When do the positive uses, morph into a more addictive, problematic issue that could become harmful to our everyday health & wellbeing?
