In my new column for CEOWorld, I wrote all about your phone addiction.
Where’s your phone? Are you on it right now? I bet it’s within arms reach. Your smart phone is an essential business tool which can significantly reduce the amount of time many work tasks would otherwise take.

A study conducted by dscout which monitored 94 demographically diverse smart phone users 24 hours a day over a 5 day period, found that:
- The average smart phone user clicks, swipes or touches their phone 2617 times a day over a period of 2.42 hours.

- The average user has 76 separate phone sessions a day, while the heavy user averages 132 sessions a day.
