1. Have you ever heard you phone vibrate while you are in the library writing a paper? Juggling the demands of competing media sources has grown increasingly common as music, video, news and messaging creep onto more devices and into more day-to-day activities. Studies have shown that people who most often let several types of media overlap can be distracted in the moment, but also score poorly on tests that assess attention even when the media sources are absent. That's bad news for performance at school or work, for maintaining relationships and for general well-being. Engaging in a mindfulness activity like focusing on your breath helps you refocus and get back on track!
