Description
Physically remove your phone from your workspace during focused tasks to avoid interruptions.
Benefits
Enhances concentration, boosts productivity, and reduces procrastination.
Example
My phone was the biggest enemy of productivity, endlessly buzzing, pulling me away from deep work. Frustrated by constant distraction, I started leaving my phone in another room during dedicated focus blocks. Initially, the urge to check notifications felt intense, but after several days, my ability to concentrate significantly improved. Tasks that previously took hours now wrapped up much quicker. I could finally enter flow states more easily, completing work efficiently, feeling less overwhelmed, and creating more meaningful downtime later.
