Simplify to Clear Distractions

The distraction of multitasking and technology can be hard to overcome. But it drains away our mindfulness, effectiveness, and life energy. So let’s do something about it.

Let’s start with the phone.

Put all apps into one folder. I call mine “uncertainty” to remind me that everything lives in uncertainty.

Keep the homescreen clear. No tempting apps to click on. I use the search function to open an app, requiring myself to type in the name, which makes me think about what I’m doing.

Shut off almost all notifications.

Choose a simple and beautiful background to remind me to be mindful.
