A Productivity Ritual To Change Phone Time
Turning on airplane mode on your smartphone for half a day has incredible results.
I’m pretty sure I’ve come up with the best, most badass smartphone ritual ever.
Are you ready for it? Here it is:
Put your smartphone into airplane mode from 8pm to 8am.
You might need to adjust the ritual to fit your schedule, but I think 12 hours is the perfect amount of time to shut your phone off for every day. In my case, it’s 1.5 hours before I go to sleep (9:30 pm), and 2.5 hours after I wake up (5:30 am).
And here‘s another killer phone habit: when you’re having a coffee or eating a meal with someone, shut your phone completely off. Just do it.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll be antsy for a week or so while your mind adjusts to being disconnected in the mornings and evenings, but trust me: the benefits are well worth the effort.
