Are you constantly assaulted by vibrations, beeps, blips, bings, and dings from your computer, tablet, cell phone, or “smart” device?
How many do you get each day?
A recent study found that the average smartphone user gets as many as 60 push notifications per day! If each one of those costs you only 3 minutes of focus then you’re losing nearly 3 hours a day – just because of push notifications.
And the truth is that you lose an average of 23 minutes for each distraction.
You can make it stop. Today. Right now.
Turn off every notification from every app on every device – except maybe the ringer on your phone.
That’s right. Every single one.
Don’t worry. You won’t forget to check.
The average professional checks email 15 times a day – and that’s without notifications turned on.
Yeah, there is at least an hour of time waiting to be recaptured.
Don’t know how?
That’s fine. The all-mighty and powerful gods of Google and YouTube have the instructions you need.
Simply type in a search like “How to turn off notifications on <name of program> and you’re on your way.
The time you spend doing this will make you more productive, allow you to make more money, AND reduce your stress and anxiety.
Try it for a week and let me know how your life is better because of it!
