In my latest feature on @forbes I talk about how to use your phone to boost both #productivity and #relaxation 👉 “Use your phone to your full advantage and turn off or mute all notifications. How many times have you absentmindedly swiped “YES” to send notifications? All of those notifications turn into hours of distractions. A big part of our company culture is mindfulness and it has to start with me. If I was not vigilant and had alerts going off on my phone and was constantly checking it, my team would see that I was not fully engaged in our projects, clients, and work. I check my phone only when I intend to, on my own terms. I turn everything off, just keep the text message on, and I check Instagram or other social channels once or twice a day to post and respond, keeping my attention where it should be: on my staff, clients, and family.” ☝️ LINK IN COMMENTS 👇 #business #companyculture #phone #balancedlife #mindfulness #worklife #worklifebalance #onyourterms #ownit #leadbyexample (at Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina)
