Stone said one of the most important things people can do to combat a feeling of digital information overload is to focus on breathing. She pointed out that people tend to hold their breath when opening and reading an email, for example.

Stone also referenced the term continuous partial attention, which, as it suggests, is the idea of constantly paying only partial attention to different tasks in an effort not to miss anything.
