DESCRIPTION

As marketers, the internet has become an essential part of our daily lives. Whether were preparing an email campaign, tweeting, or simply checking our email, it is always there.

For our latest visual we have compiled advice from the experts on how to increase your online attention span, stay focused, and ultimately become way more productive.
