how to turn your phone into a productivity machine

- Let's start with the basics and apply the konmari method to your phone by getting rid of all the apps that don't spark joy anymore. It's very important to understand the reasons that are taking value out of those apps - they can be making you feel insecure or unsuccessful; they can be adding unrequested stress to your routine or make you feel like you constantly need to update the app. In a way, all of these apps are toxic and carrying them constantly in your pocket will probably be not the best for your mental health.
- Secondly, you should make an effort to reduce aural and haptic triggers, which include ringing and vibration. My advice is to turn off all notifications minus the phone app. If you are trying to transform your phone into a productivity machine, you need to turn the attention cycle around. When you have notifications on, you aren't the one choosing when to use your phone - your phone is the one choosing when you should pick it up. By blocking notifications from all of your apps, including messaging apps, you regain control of your own intentions to use that device. If there's an emergency, people will call you, not send you a text.
- Regarding visual triggers, my rule is to disable badges from all of my apps. That way I don't have to immediately see how many e-mails I need to reply or how many notifications are pending in my messaging or social media apps. This trick reduces visual stimuli and will also prevent you from accumulating stress just by looking at those numbers adding up.
- A helpful trick to help you focus on the content that really matters is using the structure of homescreen pages to your benefit. For instance, I like to hide social media apps in folders and keep the productivity apps, like my e-mail and organization apps on my main page. This immediately focus my attention to productive tasks when I pick up my phone instead of reminding me that I should check Instagram.
- Using alarms to structure your day is a major part of time management techniques and can be easily achieved by creating a routine for yourself using your clock app. Dividing your day into bigger or smaller chunks of time is helpful to 1) give you a limited amount of time to complete a certain task and 2) plan ahead for precious down-time. Your phone will be the perfect device for this - it's always at hand and allows you to customize your alarms in a quick and efficient ways by labelling them and create different combinations according to the days of the week.
- Although this may sound counter-productive, I believe you should tone down the amount of organization and to-do apps you have and really focus on only a couple for daily usage. I usually recommend three types of organization apps: a calendar, an app for to-dos and an app for full-fledged organization and planning. As usual, I will recommend again the two major free calendar apps, Google Calendar and iCalendar, for all of your event-related planning; Notion for major organization templates and projects and Todoist for all of your to-do lists.
- For Android users, using widgets mindfully will be your best bet for adding some visual productivity elements to your phone. Besides to-do lists, calendar blocks and reminders, widgets will allow you to use your smartphone as a virtual productive dashboard where you can jot down notes and add tasks and events.
- Your phone background can also be a usually forgotten productivity booster. One idea I read and thought very interesting was creating a new background for your phone once per week with your weekly intention. This can be made under one minute and will allow you to read a though-provoking question or sentence whenever you unlock your phone.
As you've probably noticed by now, I didn't include any blocking apps in my list and that's because I believe that your relationship with tech, social media and the internet should be more mindful and constructive than simply allowing your phone to block you away from Instagram like your parents would.

Finally! A productivity video that doesn't look at the smartphone as a big evil thing that needs to constantly be blocked!
I subscribed but I didn't turn on the bell because you said that turn off all your notifications. Thank you for your advice.
Savage
Hahaha
Destruction 100
😂 😂
she’s screwed
I needed this. My mom would always get mad when she saw me answer the ding of my phone and she said it was controlling my life. NOT ANYMORE!
First time TH-cam recommendation works right
Amazing video BTW
last sxn YOU’RE SO RELATABLE 😂
Regarding my "click the bell" call to action in the end of the video, tbh this is what happens when you readapt the outro for most of your videos. You end up with a major contradiction lol. Mea culpa!
LOL, what's going on in the comments?
If she has an Iphone, Android or an old Nokia, it's her choice. Also, makes sense since she uses other Apple products.
If you like IOS that's ok.
If you like Android, that's totally ok.
If you like Blackberry, that's also ok.
But don't just said that the video is bad based on the OS of a smartphone.
Good video Mariana, I'm also in the law school and your work have always been so inspiring to me.
What are you talking about? Nobody's even attacking her phone choice.
Yes!!!! Finalyy someone said it!!!!!
@@KenoshaCaptures well, let me give you some context: when the video where uploaded, Mariana got a bunch of comments saying the video where focusing only IOS.
(Sorry for the late answer, youtube never notify me about comments until recently :C )
@Debbiejuni Allen well well, here are some tips i whished I've known back in the days:
1) Read before class, usually the syllabus give you some recommendation readings so pay attention to that.
2) Syllabus hack: take all the units and make them as a check list, when exam time comes, you know what you should know (?).
3) if your Uni doesn't record the classes, please make sure to have a lot of space i your phone, so you can record the class and review it like podcast while you commute.
4) teachers says that "you shouldn't memorize things" but the sad sad true is that you SHOULD memorize sorta things (usually code's articles).
5) don't waist money on codes while being a student: download the code from official sources, those are more updated.
6) It's not the same study for an oral exam than a written exam, keep an eye on that.
7) usually some teachers had high ... egocentrism (?) But don't let that discourage you! We always can learn something even from the people we don't like.
8) if you never had an failling at highschool: be prepared, and it's okay, it's a new chapter in your life, it's OK if you fail ... I hope that you don't but in any case, don't let that grade mark the rest of your career.
I can't give you more specific advices becaus I Don't know where you are from, but I'm giving you a general advices from someone who study law in Chile.
Using my alarm to structure my day is The Greatest advise I got this year so far. Thank you!
Hey Mariana! Am happy to say I've been doing many of these for years! Like the changing home page to a motivational one, hiding social media apps, muting alerts and using a calendar and Todo list. I am happy to say they do work most of the time. My phone is my window to the world. It also brings structure and fun to my life. :)
i've never thought about turning off all notifications, but you're absolutely right!
These steps turned my phone from something that harmed my productivity into something that motivated and urged me to stay productive. Love you💞💞💞💞

Dear yes
I love your videos 😍 they help me so much, thanks!
I disagree with one thing ,notifications are necessary for 2 aaps calender and reminders .
It helped me alot as due to this i didn't missed my important meetings and also important reminders .
In a way it increases my productivity .
I don't see other things important as these are for notifications so I never turn off my Outlook calendar and reminder notifications (though email notifications are off)
I turn off all my notifications EXCEPT my schoolwork so then I can do my schoolwork on time right when they are posted on my Google Classroom :)
THIS IS ALL I NEEDED RIGHT NOW THANK YOUUU
These are great tips, a lot of them I already use and can tell you that they help if you’re after minimizing your tech use.

I love this video... I have structured my apps and my phone using this template you described. Thanks a billion
Bj Fogg, a behavior scientist at Stanford, explains in his book The Tiny Habit that without the prompt human won't do the behavior. He also adds the way a social app works is to prompt you in order for you to use their created apps. I totally understand Mariana's corner of view when turning notification
s off. in this case, you aren't prompted to open up for any massages.
I always tell you, but thanks for the eng sub!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️I loved the video!

How to turn your phone into productive machine.
Me: Turn the damn phone off
Some of us cant just turn it off. Im chronically ill and have an app on my phone that connects to my port so i can test without using a diabetes test strip. I also take all my classes online so my phone needs to be on to get emails, class work, and group calls. Phones arent bad inherently its what we do with them thats bad.
🤣🤣
When I see the alarm that says stop working... Well, I never need that
Amazing video, thanks a lot....
Thank you so much 😊 ☺️
me at the beginning of the video: Yeah, I need to simplify and remove some apps
me at the end of the video: Maybe I need to subscribe to curiosity stream. Let's see what it has to offer.
Thank you very much
O vídeo está muito bom Mariana ☺️
I love ur content
Mariana can you share your own music playlist that you use while working
Thank you
*laughs in an iPhone 6 with tiny storage*

Hope you have a great day ❤️
