Thank you, Derek! I love how you list the pros AND cons. As a writer, I definitely found myself thinking, "what about my flow?" And you addressed that. And, I can really see how working this in-as relevant-to my workday would help. I also loved your bit about our phones and putting it face down! A couple months ago I disconnected my Apple Watch from my iPhone (so get WAY less notifications) and feel so much freer! Blessings!
I'm a productivity enthusiast and a stickler for productivity as I run three different companies : Pomodoro works great for me as I use the calendar blocking method. Thanks for sharing.
I think worse than the phone on notifications is the smart watch — getting your wrist tapped at every notification is annoying, distracting and diminishing in importance.
I’ve disabled all notifications on my watch, except the phone, sms, alarm and stand up reminders :)
The time limit on apps was awesome!! Thank you. I actually use social way less than I thought

Thanks doc! Really appreciate the thoughtful comment.
Great advice! I use timers in a slightly different way. But they are for sure my jam and make me WAY more productive. :)
