As marketers, the internet has become an essential part of our daily lives. Whether we’re preparing an email campaign, tweeting, or simply checking our email, it is always there.

Or maybe it becomes almost impossible to resist the impulse to check your Facebook feed every few minutes.

For our latest visual we have compiled advice from the experts on how to increase your online attention span, stay focused, and ultimately become way more productive.
