I am writing this from a point of subtle burnout.
yes I am not perfect I sometimes overdo myself and end up needing to take an extra long break.
For me I love what I do so much that its sometimes hard to stop.
But this Saturday I barely touched my phone (other than to log my calories on cal.ai haha -> we are getting shredded this summer) But I can wholeheartedly say...our mothers were right.
"Its the fucking phone"
being distracted too often by our phones is the thing that is draining our creativity and our life force.
It will solve more problems then you can possibly imagine.
Yes you need it as a tool for your business, but we all have to consciously think about what we will use it for before we actually pick it up, not for time to simply pass by faster.
Our brains are an amazing organ but also hyper sensitive, whatever we feed it with will radically influence its output.
Thats why we need filters:
- why am I using my phone right now?
- am I consuming or creating? what is the intention behind it?
- how can I structure/design my phone to have it be used intentionally?
Right now I have my phone in black/grey and I can switch between color by tapping the one button 3 times.
I have everything ordered in folders and deleted all unessary apps.
goal is to get my screen time under 2h everyday. 90% of the time will be work related and if possible even get it under 1h.
That is my no BS update of what I am focusing on, I hope this gives you insight on how you can structure your days better to produce more output without frying your brain.
It's always hard to balance that as a visionary, as a reality creatr.
But I promise you it can transform you.
This is my morning routine to dial in that focus.
Wake up.
Read Bible + book. 30 min.
Coffee, walk.
Dial in for 2h deep work with a timer.
Short break.
Then 2h work with timer.
Then breakfast.
then day continues with busywork.
That is my gameplan, lets do it.
Build your own Reality,
Jay
