Erick felt this way and so he implemented something that most people will think is radical:
He decided to try to go a month without a phone, to see what it would do to his lifestyle, mind, and thoughts.
He started living in "airplane mode".
Here are the two major improvements in his life:
#1 More curious
Boredom leads to creativity and curiosity.
Not having a phone or data has made him get bored more.
ut whenever he is bored, he stands up, wanders, looks around, and lets his mind wander.

Therefore, he produces more.
The conclusion?
💡 Subtract for innovation: you can become more innovative by having less technology in your life.
