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.
