Recreate your relationship with your phone

  • Turn off notifications. Reduce distractions and the urge to check your phone, encourage proactive behavior, and improve cognitive load.
  • Use it as little as possible. Stop carrying around your phone everywhere you go. Make it a challenge to watch your screen-time drop over time.
  • Get over your FOMO. Overcome your fear of missing out by uninstalling your social media apps or stopping checking them every 2 seconds.

How to train your attention

  1. Unlock the power of brain points. Our brain has a limited daily decision-making capacity and can be depleted (or increased) by different activities. I explain this in more detail here.
  2. Exercise your mind and body. Start meditating, reading books, and doing physical activity. This will boost cognitive abilities, including attention, focus, and concentration, among many other benefits.
  3. Journaling. Keeping a journal helps you gain awareness of your thoughts and how they influence your attention. Free guide on journaling.
