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.

8. Make your frequent apps hard to find

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.

4.Set app usage limit

Audio captures not just the thoughts but also our emotions at that moment. Which is super helpful, when we hear it again in the future.Bonus: Start the voice note with "I am recording this while I was doing..." Context helps.”

1.Record your thoughts through an audio recorder.

A time management technique that's proven to maximize productivity and attention. Break your day into 25 min chunks followed by a 5 min break (this 30 min unit is called Pomodoro). After about 4 pomodoros, take a longer break of 15-20mins.

2. Pomodoro Technique  

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.

3.Set specific times to check your emails

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.

5. Create a self- WhatsApp group

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.

6. Send emails to yourself in the future

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!
