Why I Needed a Productivity Hack
I realized my focus was being stolen by constant notifications. Every ping and buzz broke my rhythm and pulled me away from the work that mattered. I needed a way to protect my time.
What I Changed With My Phone
I put my phone on Do Not Disturb for the whole day. If you think you’re important in my life, now’s the time to message me. I’ll add you to my favorites so I can still see your notifications. Otherwise, I won’t see anything until I decide to check.
How It Changed My Focus
By not seeing notifications, nothing breaks my flow. My attention stays on the work. I check messages on my own time, not when my phone decides to interrupt me. That small shift gave me back hours in the day.
Why It Matters for Me and Others
What felt like a small change quickly became my missing productivity hack. I was getting my time back. It reminded me that productivity is not about doing more it’s about removing what steals your attention.
