4 Steps to Make Your Phone Distraction-Free

Do you feel your phone in your pocket, calling you, like the Ring called Bilbo Baggins?

It’s time to make a change.

If you’re intrigued, I encourage you to try going distraction-free for 24 hours:

#1 Remove the Browser iPhone: Go to Settings, then Restrictions. Turn ‘em on, and then you can turn off Safari

Android: disable Chrome in App Settings

#2 Remove Mail

iPhone: delete your email account in Settings

Android: disable Gmail in App Settings

#3 Remove “infinity” apps

Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and even the New York Times — all of these have a potentially endless supply of new and interesting stuff that you could check at any time.

So none of them belong on your phone.

#4 Consciously decide what to keep

Having a blank desktop on the phone is surprisingly calming.

Keep the tools that make your life better.

For example, mine are Google Drive, Google Maps, Uber, Alarm Clock, and Pocket Casts.
