Ever since these smartphones have evolved there is an overwhelming information flood everywhere. So much so that we don’t even bother to read something important now, considering it also as clutter.

Follow these simple steps and you will notice a change in your whole routine.

Get Organized

Organize your phone’s home screen in such a way that the most important applications remain on the 1st screen.

Like Gmail, LinkedIn, Play store, file manager, etc.

The apps that get you distracted instantly like Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Netflix, or even your Gallery, should stay on the last screen.

Turn off Notifications

You often grab your phone to quickly make a note of something or maybe write an important email but just one notification is enough to make you lose track of time. From one notification you go to a Facebook post then another post then another and you easily lose hours into nothing. It gets too late to finish that important task and you forget it.

Get rid of the clutter on your phone

Don’t hesitate while deleting some unnecessary pictures or files that are no more in use. That one app you haven’t used in months is still there, Just uninstall it. Most people end up cluttering their phones with really useless stuff just because of this one thought “Let’s not delete it right now, maybe it can come in handy later”

Trust me, just let it go. Make it easy on yourself.

Try to do these things with your phone today and see the difference. Get a productive version of yourself just by changing your phone’s inside.

It really matters.
