"Smartphones have changed the way humans interact with the world. This change poses serious challenges to regulating one’s smartphone use alongside other daily activities, especially for adolescents who are in a developmental stage marked by reduced parental regulation and still immature self-regulation. Consequently, societal concern around the impact of social media and smartphone use on adolescents’ everyday functioning is growing. However, surprisingly little scientific research has been dedicated to investigating the direct effects of social media use on adolescents’ attention required for everyday functioning. Therefore, this dissertation aims, in four empirical chapters (Chapters 2-5), to investigate how adolescents’ social media and smartphone use affect their distraction, task delay, and sleep quality, and to explore how the effects on distraction and task delay may differ from adolescent to adolescent. This dissertation relies on data from a large intensive longitudinal data collection, including two experience sampling method (ESM) bursts (fielded in December 2019 and June 2020), and smartphone tracking data (June 2020). In both ESM bursts, adolescents received six surveys per day for 21 consecutive days, measuring their social media use (time spent), distraction, and task delay over the past hour, as well as last night’s sleep quality. In total, this resulted in more than 55,000 completed experience sampling surveys and over 750,000 smartphone tracking observations among 383 different adolescents. Together, the research findings yield three important conclusions: 1) the effect of social media use on distraction is strong, 2) the effect of social media use on distraction is universal, and 3) smartphone-related task delay and sleep impairments are dependent on the person, the timing, and the app that is used."--

Bestselling author and world-renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith examines the environmental and psychological triggers that can derail us at work and in life. Do you ever find that you are not the patient, compassionate problem solver you believe yourself to be? Are you surprised at how irritated or flustered the normally unflappable you becomes in the presence of a specific colleague at work? Have you ever felt your temper accelerate from zero to sixty when another driver cuts you off in traffic? Our reactions don’t occur in a vacuum. They are usually the result of unappreciated triggers in our environment—the people and situations that lure us into behaving in a manner diametrically opposed to the colleague, partner, parent, or friend we imagine ourselves to be. These triggers are constant and relentless and omnipresent. So often the environment seems to be outside our control. Even if that is true, as Goldsmith points out, we have a choice in how we respond. In Triggers, his most powerful and insightful book yet, Goldsmith shows how we can overcome the trigger points in our lives, and enact meaningful and lasting change. Goldsmith offers a simple “magic bullet” solution in the form of daily self-monitoring, hinging around what he calls “active” questions. These are questions that measure our effort, not our results. There’s a difference between achieving and trying; we can’t always achieve a desired result, but anyone can try. In the course of Triggers, Goldsmith details the six “engaging questions” that can help us take responsibility for our efforts to improve and help us recognize when we fall short. Filled with revealing and illuminating stories from his work with some of the most successful chief executives and power brokers in the business world, Goldsmith offers a personal playbook on how to achieve change in our lives, make it stick, and become the person we want to be.
"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16 NIV Will you always be drawn to the darkness? Most likely! As long as you are a human being-your default position will be rebellion. How can you use this phenomena? Is it possible that temptation can be utilized as a tool to lift you higher into God's light? Yes! You can use temptation to trigger God's light! Will you fail at times? Yes. Is failure always negative? No! Failure is quite possibly one of the greatest learning tools you have continual access to. When you stop breathing-you will stop failing. Has God left you without aid in the realm of overcoming the dark side? No! He has given you everything you need. This book provides God-breathed insights into meeting the challenges of personal growth amidst the benefits of your life's struggles. "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV
