How to increase productivity.

 If you check your emails as and when they arrive, you will be sucked into them! 

Schedule your emails to hit your inbox only at scheduled times (I do it 4 times a day). 

Then use Pomodoro to go through them all in one go.

Use your phone to set time limits on the app you tend to waste time on.

Use a password to unlock and ask someone in your family to set that password (you shouldn't know it!)

Similarly, use website blockers.

Create a WA group with someone. Delete that person. 

Pin that group to the top. 

Now you have a WA group with just yourself. Use it to record your pics, voice notes, typed notes. 

Basically anything! Super hack for quick recording and retrieval.

You can schedule emails for a later time.

Use those to be reminded of things you remember right now, but cannot pick up right now.

Be as detailed as possible.

Attach images, voice notes, links etc.

 Build the habit of using a calendar. 

And then put EVERYTHING on the calendar. Not just meetings and work tasks. 

Birthdays. Bills to be paid. Reminders. Family events. Daily routine. 

It will add structure to what might look like a random day!

Do not place them on the home screen.

Put them in some random folder, called something random.

In addition to time limits, the visual hurdle to get to your app will make you spend a LOT less time.
