It is interesting how that response to the message alert is tied in with fight or flight. Of course in people knew in general how most of what makes up our modern western world was first discovered in the psychology lag then tested in the science lab before becoming the 'new thing' they might be less controlled. But, there are too many well placed and planned distractions. I keep my phone off or on silent and away from me most of the day. I have multiple tabs open for the various way I work, but they are hidden and I am only viewing one at a time. I use a large single screen for that. I always have a pot of tea to take momentary breaks to think, ponder, look out the window. the importance of quiet and stillness is not one most westerners get, but it's an amazing tool and a wonderful place to dwell. Keep up these posts!
