Samriti was also featured in LiveMint, sharing her perspective on how constant notifications wear down our mental energy and focus. She broke down something many of us feel but rarely name: every notification asks us to make a tiny decision, whether to ignore it, open it, reply, or deal with it later. Since our working memory can only hold a handful of things at once, this adds up fast.

She also spoke about how, over time, our minds adapt to this rapid switching rather than sustained focus, which is part of why concentration can feel harder to hold onto these days. Just as importantly, she reflected on how this constant switching quietly erodes our sense of presence, leaving us feeling drained even on days that felt uneventful.

This thinking shapes a lot of how we approach wellbeing at work: sometimes the most useful question isn’t “how do I do more,” but “what’s quietly pulling at my attention, and what would it take to protect it.”
