摘要

How long do you work before your eyes wander to your cellphoneoryour mouse creeps to your inbox? According to Curt Steinhorst, business owner, entrepreneur and founder of Focus Wise, the average person only works two to three minutes at a time beforebeing interrupted by a digital distraction. What's worse is that it takes 20 minutes to return to the original task."The truth is, it's never been harder to work than it is today and there's a lot of good reasons for that," Steinhorst told attendees at the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) Academy, held last July in Scottsdale, Ariz.
