Pro Tip – Once your home screen is empty, replace the home screen with a picture of your vision or largest target.

Turn Off Notifications

Go to settings, hit notifications. Go one by one and turn off everything you do not need to be distracted by. Remember, you can always click in and see what's going on in any app when you choose – and this is how you take control back of your power – you choose when to interact. Allowing notifications to pop in at any time is almost like allowing yourself to be startled all day every day. You never know when the next will come or which one it will be – this adds to the irrationality that life is chaotic and random. Which it is not, and you can turn off this effect by turning off notifications. Imagine if you were sitting home reading a book and all of a sudden right as you get into the story – someone pops up behind your couch and makes a sound out of nowhere – you would be startled! Definitely distracted or knocked out of focus. This is the exact same thing that is happening to your energetic body when these unexpected notifications pop in and interrupt your focus.

What Notifications To Keep?

Anything that is valuable to you – anything you deem worthy of being interrupted by. As long as you choose it – it is right for you. Now that you know the cost of these notifications, you can measure your decisions against it.

Set Downtime And Screen Time

These work as buffers to help reinforce what you have previously decided for yourself and what is best for you. When we sit down and intentionally set our standards and decide how we will use technology – it is easy to see that all go out the window when the impulse is triggered by the intelligent design of apps. Setting this buffer up helps you stay in line with what you have chosen and will set you best up for success.

Pro Tip – Keep An Eye On These Numbers

• Pickups
• Hours online

No judgment, and there is no good or bad number – just simply allow yourself to be aware of the number. What is the pickup number? That is the number of times you picked up your phone that day. Hours online refers to how much of your waking time that day was spent on the screen. You do not need to take action here – inspired action will result from awareness – just allow it to be seen and see what happens.

Setting Up DND

Choose the hours you wish not to be disturbed – my phone is set to stay quiet between 9 p.m.-10:30 a.m. I prefer to complete my miracle morning routine before I attend to the world and its needs. Set your favorites: you want to make sure you set your favorites – these are the contacts you want the phone to ring no matter what setting it is on.
