Do It Today: Overcome Procrastination, Improve Productivity, and Achieve More Meaningful Things

I like my phone. But I don’t need it.
The results have been great since I started using my
smartphone in the above way. During the past two years, I
got more things done than ever.
And, I still have time to work out daily, hang out with my
friends, have dinner with my family, and spend time with
my lady friend. You and I both have the same 24 hours at
our disposal.
The difference maker is 
how
you spend those 1440 minutes
each day. To be honest, I think I still have much to improve
about my effectiveness. No one reaches peak productivity.
Nor is it important to be the most productive person in the
world.
How you want to spend your time is your business. 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.
And if you wonder why not more people telling you to get
rid of that thing, realize that they are trying to get to your
wallet. Also, social media people who claim that they run
their business with their smartphone are doing the exact
same thing. They need you to consume their content, on
you guessed it, your smartphone.
Apple will also never tell us, “don’t mind buying the new
iPhone because it’s going to destroy your productivity.” Of
course not, they try to tell you the opposite. And without a
doubt, smartphones also improve productivity.

You probably found my articles on your phone. Thar’s
awesome. And, I also read a lot of articles and books on my
phone. But you and I use the device to learn something,
which is always a good thing.
People who make phones and apps are smarter than us.
Their only goal is to get you hooked. I think it’s good to
realize that. That’s why I often try to remind myself not to
depend on smartphones too much because my attention
matters more than productivity. It’s time to reclaim your
attention. And thereby, reclaim your life. It’s worth it.
