phone use

On this episode of Flow with Jo, distractions in the digital age are discussed and strategies to maximize productivity are shared. The rise of distractions like social media, email and notifications are compared to the limited access of home phones in the past. With the impact of distractions on mental wellbeing and productivity,I emphasize the importance of protecting one's time by setting boundaries. Finding your "magic time" and using willpower to avoid distractions during this period is advised, and the importance of self-awareness in recognizing distractions is emphasized. The episode ends with a reminder of the cost of distractions and the most precious gift given to us- time.
