Do you think mobile phones, near workspace while working, break concentration?

Question

I realized recently while I am working suddenly I start to surf on the phone. I am curious about this situation. Am I the only one?

I think they do, I try not to use my smartphone often, but it became literally irreplaceable in my life. I can't imagine my usual living without a Tracfone and tracfone customer service which is actually very helpful. Internet and digital communication in general are extremely important today.

@sullyb You maybe right Sully, I think I should do it in a more organized way like you with lots of short breaks.

I think it's different for a lot of people, especially in regards to how they like to work.

Personally, I tend to find myself being more productive working in a pattern of short bursts, with a small break in between (roughly 25 minutes 'on' and 5 minutes 'off').

This was something I learned to do during my studies, where I found myself getting restless doing long bursts of work at a time.
