How one simple change to my phone settings transformed my productivity and focus
A week without notifications helped me break my worst phone habits
If you feel like your phone controls your attention more than you would like, you are not alone. It is easy to feel constantly distracted by WhatsApp pings, Instagram likes, and breaking news alerts. I wanted to find out just how much of an impact those notifications had on my daily life, so I tried a week-long detox where I turned off all notifications on my phone. I wasn’t going off-grid entirely, but I wanted to see what life was like without the constant digital chatter.
