Digital Distractions

This device has the world at your fingertips... 
anything you could ever want to learn is available for you!! 
It is also the biggest distraction from your goals you will ever face!! 

Here are my success tips for screen management: 

1.

 Give yourself time for reflection and planning in the am BEFORE looking at any notifications. Whatever that morning routine looks like for you... gratitude, prayer, meditation, goal review, etc. DO THAT FIRST. Otherwise your brain will begin the day already distracted. 

2.

Know what tasks you need to do on your phone and do them first. Make a list of the tasks, contacts, follow ups, posts and work the list BEFORE being social!! This prevents spending hours online and getting NOTHING done!

3.

Give yourself non-phone time during the day to give your eyes and brain a break!! Often, You may feel overwhelmed because you overwhelmingly YOURSELF with posts, pins, tweets, and stories! Give your brain planned breaks!! 

4.

Likewise, a digital sunset is a must... pick a time that works for you and commit to not looking at your phone AT ALL between that time and the morning! This is especially vital if you can’t sleep at night!! Staring at your screen only makes it worse! Use that restless time to think, read a REAL book, journal, or just lay there! Some of my BEST ideas come to me in the quiet of the night!!
