are you see this right here a lot of people say these smartphones are actually making us less productive actually some people are even saying they’re turning us into zombies but make sure you stick around watch this video cuz I’m gonna show you 9 hacks using your phone to become more productive stay completely focused and actually get things done ok so the first thing I wanna show you is how to make sure when you pick up your phone it actually doesn’t wake up on you and the reason this is important is because sometimes when you see your phone there’s notifications I can distract you from what you want to do so in settings all you’ve to do is scroll down to display in brightness then click off raise to wake and then you’re all set now you have control you can open your screen by tapping on the screen or clicking on the power button on the side next up text replacements you can actually type in a few small letters to turn into something much bigger for example if you go to settings here scroll down to general then look for keyboard and then text replacement now you’ll see a number of different things that if I type in bza for example it’ll type out my address if I type in IP u that’s I appreciate you you’re gonna have people that you talk about all the time certain phrases as you use or even your phone number too so let me show you how this works pH n is this minute phone number here so let me go into a note and I’m going to type in pH N and hit space and there’s a phone number so you can make typing really easy for certain things that you type in all the time all right number 3 you see this little red dot here with the 2 that’s telling me that I have two messages I haven’t checked yet now for some apps it’s going to be important to know well how behind are you right but other apps you just don’t even need that and to turn that off all you have to do is go to settings scroll down to notifications then find that app that you don’t want the notification badge icon on for and then click badge app icon off now when I go here you’ll see that the app icon is off now for some apps you might not want any notifications at all and to do that one step further just click allow notifications off and now you don’t ever have to worry about it alright next up I want to show you a little alarm clock hack that I wants to use back in the day when I was having a hard time staying focused and on task and this involves a number of different alarms that go throughout the day that allow me to check in with myself to make sure that I’m doing exactly what I should be doing now in the beginning it would actually catch me off guard and I back on task and over time I found that well this would actually confirm that I was doing what I should be doing whether it’s work or spending time with the family so set this up give it a shot it really helps train you to stay focused and on task and hopefully it’ll work for you too all right next up I want to show you an app that I just recently discovered called moment I’ve always wanted something that could help me keep track of how much time I spend on my phone and what apps I spend my time in and this is a toy I just recently installed it actually my videographer Caleb he introduced this to me and it’s already showing me how much time I’m spending on my phone and it’s just consciously allowing me to understand well okay maybe I shouldn’t be spending quite as much time you know on the YouTube creator app or something like that it also shows me how many pics pickups I’ve had too and I can begin to notice patterns over time so I’m excited to just dive into this a little bit more but again it’s called moment and it’ll help you just learn how much time you’re wasting so that you can get back to what you should be doing right next up and this might sound kind of obvious sometimes you have apps that you don’t need anymore sometimes you need to combine them into folders to organize them just when your phone is organized you are organized too so let me swipe here I have some maps here that I don’t need anymore for example this one from the traffic and conversion summit so I can just delete that this one goes a R which is kind of cool because it’s like virtual reality it’s kind of distracting so I’m gonna delete that and other ones you might want to combine into folders to make them a little bit easier to manage so if I go into the Amazon one here and click it over to ebay and then bring NC over and get in there too I’m just gonna name this folder let’s do shopping alright and then we are good to go my next step is this app right here one of my favorite apps called focus at will what this does is it plays you scientifically-proven music that helps you stay more productive it’s it’s pretty insane and I didn’t believe it at first but I tried it and it does work I use it when I write books or when I’m brainstorming or when I’m studying any of that kind of stuff you can choose from all different kinds of music from classical to Bach and propel you can even have to like propeller sounds all different kinds I’m just gonna click classical low-intensity and hit play I can already feel myself being more productive just kidding but it does also keep track of your productivity over time because it’s serve raising you after a session while how productive was that session and it actually does work it’s really cool right so sometimes you’re gonna be on your phone and you don’t want any district just like that so let me show you how to put on the Do Not Disturb button which allows you to not get text like that when you’re trying to do something so I’m just gonna swipe down from the top here and hit do not disturb which is this little moon here and then now when anybody texts you or if you’re on your phone you won’t get notifications and really interrupt it all right then sometimes the best thing you can do to stay productive but most importantly stay present is to shut the phone off so let’s do that right now especially if like with your with your family or you’re trying to camp or something so shut the phone off grab a book enjoy life and also make sure
