3 Easy Strategies for Improved Productivity
In this episode, I discuss three things you can do to improve your productivity. And these are easy to understand but whether or not they are easy to implement is up to you.
Happiness
I run every day and right now, I’m listening to the audio book, The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor (affiliate link). Get this book! How happy are you? Now what you tell your friends. Not what you tell yourself. The truth.
Sleep
I talked about this before but it needs repeating because the data shows so many people around the world are not getting enough sleep. Minimum is 8. I’ve read estimates up to 10 hours. You need to sleep as long as you need to … as long as it is at least 8 hours. Read Arianna Huffington's The Sleep Revolution (affiliate link).
Movement
You gotta move. Every day. No excuses. I don’t care what you do to move…just move.

What Notifications You Need Enabled on Your Phone
I get asked about notifications a lot.
So in this post, I’m going to share my thoughts of what notifications you should and should not have enabled on your phone.
How many notifications should you have enabled?
Short answer: as few as possible.
Translation: not all of them!
Notifications are distractions.
Think about how many times your phone dings, bings, swooshes, or vibrates over the course of a day.
Let me ask it another way: what would other people think? If you don't know, ask them. Or look around when your phone starts to make noise.
Before we get too far
There are many types of notifications (at least on the iPhone):
- Banners - pop up on your lock screen
- Sounds
- Badges - that little number in a circle that tells you how many unread messages you have
- Notification Center - on the iPhone, your notifications show up here if you have it selected. These are separate from the lock screen pop-ups.
You don't have to have them all enabled.
I don’t...
