None of us one walks from the car to the office anymore
Looking around, making eye contact, like we would do before
Our heads are bent, our eyes focused intently
On our phones, our surroundings we do not see
Some of us are trying to be efficient, catching up on news
Or checking our e-mails, there is no time to lose
With access to the entire world on a mobile device
Making use of every minute to be productive seems wise
Some of us use that time to catch up virtually
On social media with family and friends we infrequently see..
*
The news is often disturbing, depressing, mostly bad
Leaving us perturbed, unsettled or sad
Work e-mails usually herald extra work indeed
Reading them adds to the stress that we do not need
Social media highlight reels from people we know
Sometimes invoke feelings of jealousy and inadequacy, and so
By the time we reach our desks to begin a work day
Negative feelings are already in our way…
*
On the other hand, if we were to keep our phones tucked away
Look around, smile at people, as we were walking to our desks each day
A much better start to the morning it would be
We would begin our day with more positivity
And that could translate into us being more productive
We underestimate the consequences when we give
More attention to our phones than people around
The key to productivity in our cell phones is not found…
Passion...unbridled 
So many people talk about the convenience of cellphones, and I have to agree BUT life was so much simpler when we didn’t have the ‘convenience’ of people on their cells tracking you down no matter where you are.
