I see people on their phones all the time. I see people wasting time online all the time. I see people playing with their new gadgets all the time. They’re wasting so much time doing this. and even worse, They are the slave of that machine!
Instead you should use technology like James Bond. He has advanced tech with him at all times but he only uses it when he really NEEDS it.
If you let your phone or watch or pad decide when you check your message or apps, THE MACHINE is your BOSS!
You don’t see James Bond checking tweets, He decides when to use technology. He is the Boss of the machine.
This principle becomes more and more important as tech develops. Don’t be afraid of A.I. It’s purpose is to help you! You’re the boss of it! Only use it when you want to!
*Correction: It actually takes you an average of 23 minutes to get back into the flow state: “Studies show that every time you check email, a social feed, or respond to a notification, your mind requires 23 minutes of re-focus time to get back on task. It’s a phenomenal cost to our entire workforce and to each of us individually as we strive to do our best work.”
Actionable things:
- Delete social media apps you don’t Need on your phone
- Get Hootsuite or any other social media manager
- Only check Email/facebook once a day on your computer
- Turn off all notifications
- Get a regular analog watch!
- Restrict time online with https://freedom.to/
