How to Get 86 Hours Back (Every Month)

Don’t you hate forgetting books you’ve read? Copy my easy system to create actionable book summaries (and get instant access to my detailed notes on 70+ books!)


The average adult spends 2 hours and 51 minutes on their smartphone every day.

Here are 3 rules I follow to gain those 86 hours back:

#1 Out of Sight, Out of Touch

Never keep the phone in your pocket (I put mine in the backpack).

You can put it in a drawer or a different room.

#2 No Notifications

Have your phone always on silent.

It should only ring for calls (which are not often).

No blipping to take your attention away.

#3 No Multi-Phoning

When using your phone, do it deliberately.

Don‘t use it when eating lunch, drinking coffee, or talking to someone.

When you use your phone, ONLY use your phone.

These 3 simple hacks will help you get those hours back every week.

What other things can you accomplish with all that free time? ;)
