Okay, so I have been trying so hard not to use my phone as much as I have been lately Because I find myself Getting distracted like my mind is elsewhere. So I want to ask when it comes to being more productive What helps you? I would love all the tips and suggestions you guys have because right now I have the Lock like downtime screen thing that they have on iPhones. I'm not sure about androids, but it's on my phone model I have the iPhone 14 Pro and it's been really helpful but I feel like it's not helpful enough because I still get distracted by other things so yeah again would love to hear your best suggestions. The more the merrier.
So if you're trying to complete tasks and projects or whatever, I suggest a Pomodoro technique and instead of trying to figure it out on your own, time it on your own, you can just go on YouTube and search Pomodoro Session and you can pick the one that suits your needs. And yeah, I would also, before you go into a plan out which you want to get accomplished and then go in.
And a quick tip for the Pomodoro if for bigger projects make sure you're just breaking it up into smaller ****-sized pieces that you can get accomplished within 30 minutes to an hour that will put your project forward. only focus on the essential things.
Another thing that helps me is something called body doubling. And I don't know about you, but if I have a study partner or accountability buddy, we don't have to be per se working on the same thing, but if we're working together, then that really helps me stay on my task. You feel me? So if you search body doubling, they have apps out there that connects you with maybe a stranger from around the world and you guys discuss your goals and then gets to it.
Oh my gosh, this actually sounds so amazing. I had no idea there were apps for it because I did hear about once or twice before, but I think it just was like put in the back of my mind and you know, thank you for bringing it up tonight because I really appreciate it so very much.
So my mom actually had that on my phone when I was younger and Yeah, we're not gonna say my time limit because it was very strict But I would cook and I was a huge drawer like I leave a lot of draw I was our artist so I draw and cook and I would do toys around the house read Honestly anything that would just keep my mind off of my phone.
Listening to music specifically happy music helps me do the chores and you know I stay productive and focus on what I'm doing because I like doing my chores or anything while I am listening to music it calms me
Honestly all what house me is I sometimes just know drink my espresso and I was drinking my espresso I tried to like shut off the TV and just zone out sometime I have a short attention spin so that express definitely helps me tap into what I'm doing and you're not so I have about
I can't put down my phone because I'm a businessman. I own my own brand. I can't put down the phone. There's nothing but plus and connection over here. So, if I wasn't a businessman on my own brand, then yeah, I would not be using the phones. But yeah, I got to not just generation. When you become a business man, you have to.
What I usually do basically is think about what's the most important thing I want to do today and how much time I got for it and then do I really want to waste my time on carry on doing, scrolling on my phone or not and if I got time I can do it but I usually choosing not to because there are more important things as I said before if you start thinking about it then you'll know what to do.
um sometimes it really just depends on like what the um actually you're trying to do you know what i'm saying but the thing that can keep me productive is music is really just like something that gets me in my zone to where I can focus.
That is so difficult for me to I can so easily distracted but I would like the thing that helps me to be productive it's gonna change my mindset from thinking that this is something I have to do to solve this is something I want to do because that's when I start to think of this is something I have to do I avoid it but if I think that this is so fun I want to do this is much easier so I just had to change the thought of the choice
Music helps me being more productive, but obviously that's on your phone and stuff, so like it wouldn't help you, but it definitely helps me to get my work done.
