More effective using technology
- 4. Technology promised us productivity and delivered on the promise, but didn’t tell us the cost was our sanity.
- 5. We check our phones more than 150 times per day. Knowledge workers spend a third of their day in email. Teenagers (aged 14-17) send 4,000 texts/month, or every six minutes online. Why?
- 7. 1. Technology is a tool. 2. Distraction is not new. 3. Mindfulness!? = a present-state awareness that helps you to be non-reactive 4. Tech industry perspective 5. Not another fucking app a. These are the tools I use and you’ll find some useful. Disclaimer
- 8. So many choices! ● Decision fatigue ● Accept sub-optimal outcomes
- 9. ● Productivity is intuitive. ● Work has changed but people haven’t. ● Diminishing returns > 40 hrs/week Productivity
- 11. At work... Notifications How can we design notifications as if it were a human (Your mom) doing it? How can we design apps so it makes us spend time well? PS: Turn off all your notifications except when *people* (not apps or businesses) are trying to reach you
- 12. Notifications
- 13. At work... Interruptions 23 minutes to refocus our attention.
- 14. At work... Interruptions We train ourselves to self interrupt. Every 3.5 minutes.
- 15. Continuous Partial Attention In a 24/7, always-on world, continuous partial attention used as our dominant attention mode contributes to a feeling of overwhelm, over- stimulation and to a sense of being unfulfilled. We are so accessible, we’re inaccessible. Connected, yet alone? Connected, yet disconnected?
- 16. Multitasking + Context switching ● Multitasking works for tasks that are cognitively less intensive ● Be aware of switching costs
- 17. Email ● Email apnea ● Design interfaces to respect user’s intentions ● Inbox Zero | Emails are notifications
- 18. Email - Inbox, Newton + Wishlist How much time on email today? 5m
- 19. Phone tips Phone 1. Have less than two home pages 2. Have shortcuts for your camera on the locked screen 3. Consider using FB/Instagram on the browser 4. QualityTime 5. Homescreen ○ Utility ○ Aspiration ○ Organize the colorful ones in folder 6. Notifications
- 21. Meditation, huh? 1. Calm.com / DoNothingForTwoMinut es.com 1. Insight Timer 1. Headspace
- 22. Sleep Four out of five smartphone users check their phones within the first 15 minutes of waking up. 80% of those say it’s the first thing they do in the morning.
- 23. Posture
- 25. When you wake up... Social
- 26. When you wake up... Out and about
- 27. Thank you!
Editor's Notes
- Pull to refresh 2. FB scrolling, mouse scroll. 3. As much as you are aware, you get sucked into it.
- How can we restore choice and design apps to respect user’s time

- That means every app and website — whether it is a meditation app, the NYTimes, or an addictive game — is trying to get you to come back and spend more time. Companies literally have teams of people called Growth Hackers, whose job is toinvent new reasons (notifications)and new persuasive tactics to bring you back. I know this because I studied with the lab at Stanford that invented many of these principles.
