“How do you make the best use of the spaces in the day between other things?
So here we go.
First Things First: Delete The Rubbish
Controlling yourself is difficult. Some apps are easy to use but don’t add anything to your life.
Most information you consume with those apps is nonsense.
You can always install them again later. But it’s important to delete those apps when you’re trying to get rid of the habit of using them so often.
Because that’s what you’re trying to do here: Replace a bad habit with a good one.
Now that you’ve got rid of the stuff that is a distraction, you can’t use it anymore.
So what can you do instead? Here are 5 ideas.
1. Check Your Favorite Blogs
You don’t consume much information other than books, but when you do, you need to read specific writers.
You can do this here in Substack by going to the writer’s page.
The point is that you don’t want to consume random stuff. You only want to read things that are relevant to you.
2. Create A Journal Entry
Writing down your thoughts unloads your human RAM, so you free up brainpower.
Plus, you’re doing something, instead of consuming.
3. Talk To A Stranger
It seems like all people in public are either playing with their phone, or they are listening to music.
Unplug yourself from the Matrix and talk to people.
You know, right? Human beings, just like you and me.
The person who’s sitting next to you might be your future spouse, client, or best friend.
How do you talk to strangers? How about saying ‘Hi’?
4. Chill Out
This one is often used too much, or not at all. Sometimes it’s fine to kick back, open up YouTube and watch something nice for 5 minutes.
Or chill out in any way that relaxes you. If funny cat videos are your thing, go for it. If you love to search for new music on Spotify, do that.
It’s better to do your ‘chilling’ when you’re waiting for something. Otherwise, you might click from one video to the next and waste hours of your time. That’s the last thing you want if you want to be productive.
5. Walk Around The Block
What do you do when you’re early for something? Sit down and wait?
The point is this: Try to do something useful with those minutes you usually waste.
If you do it with purpose, everything is useful.
Even if you decide to do nothing, but don’t be a reactionary robot that just responds to things.
