Can I play by the rules?

1/21/2021

Colleagues,

This is the last of three emails on cell phones and productivity. In case you missed it, you can find the first message here and the second one here. I’m trying to be better at avoiding multi-day email sequences, but I couldn’t figure out a better way to help us all reflect on our relationships with our phones. 
 
Today is for your reflection.
 
  1. Did you accept my 24-hour challenge?
  2. If you did, why?
  3. If you didn’t, why not?
  4. How did the challenge impact:
    1. Your concentration?
    2. Your presence?
    3. Your energy?
    4. Your productivity?
    5. Your happiness?
 
Here are some rules I’m now trying to follow:
  • All alerts on my phone are off, always, except for texts and calls.
  • In the morning, I only to use my phone for the meditation and yoga apps, nothing else (my microwave has a clock on it).
  • I am on a news blackout until 5 pm each day (this goes beyond the cell phone).
  • I will not use my phone for anything except texts and calls until 5 pm.
 
So far, my rules are working for me. That does not mean they will work for you or for anyone else. 
 
Are you considering developing your own rules? Would you be willing to share them with me? You can click here to open an email to me. Type and send, then we both have copies!
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
