Imagine a world where your smartphone is not a constant distraction but a tool for productivity. It's time to delve into the surprising ways our handheld devices can hinder our efficiency and explore strategies to reclaim control.
How important is your device to you?
Smartphones are dangerous
- Not because they may cause stress, anxiety, and depression, but because they change your behavior
- It seems like we can’t focus on one thing for more than 5 seconds. Why? Well, we can’t because our smartphone is constantly going off
Change Your Smartphone Behavior
Turn off all notifications except for messages and calls
- Remove all news apps
- Only consume music, paid journalism, articles from specific authors you follow, podcasts, YouTube videos, books, and audiobooks
- Stop immediately responding to notifications
How you want to spend your time is your business
You and I both have the same 24 hours at our disposal
- The difference-maker is how you spend those 1440 minutes each day
- No one reaches peak productivity, nor is it important to be the most productive person in the world
- But please don’t tell me you don’t want to be 26% more productive by just changing one unimportant thing in your life: Your smartphone behavior
