How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing some simple strategies to make your phone less distracting. First, switch your phone to grayscale. It's a quick setting change that can lower your phone use by about 30% because it makes everything less visually appealing and distracting.

Another good way of managing distractions is to turn off all your app notifications. Don't let apps decide when it’s time for them to interrupt you. Go through your phone settings and disable notifications for each app. This step will allow you to focus more on what's important without unnecessary interruptions.

Finally, use a special mode that blocks all calls and messages unless it’s from a few chosen contacts, or just turn on "Do Not Disturb" mode. This ensures you’re in control and can reach out when you want to. It’s a little switch that can make a huge difference in protecting your time.

These are low-cost and high-value changes that anyone can implement to improve focus and productivity. By managing your phone settings smartly, you create a less stressful, more controlled environment for yourself, whether you're running a business or working on personal growth.
