I was fascinated in 2008 to read Linda Stone’s work on email apnea. Linda Stone: Just Breathe: Building the case for Email Apnea

Email apnea – a temporary absence or suspension of breathing, or shallow breathing, while doing email (Linda Stone, February 2008)

Today I wonder about social media apnea. Are we starving ourselves of oxygen, one Instagram or Tick Tock at a time? Back in 2008 Linda predicted “a significant part of every fitness regime.” I think I need to up my breathing practice game.
