[@fullyloaded786]

I ditched my smartphone apps in lockdown , no movies no WhatsApp no music no social media . I studied how to trade those 2 years for 15 hours straight like a mad scientist in a lab working . Zero distractions if I was on KZbin it’ll be trading podcast etc When you have zero distractions that time when you sitting alone your constantly thinking and planning ahead that’s when creative ideas 💡 start to pop in your head . Whereas if u was listening to music or whatever during that downtime zero ideas 💡 will pop in your head .. I’m not saying that’s how life should be forever but when your going through a transition and a learning / levelling up phase these sacrifices have to be made

[@SunnyWinterz]

Completely agree. Eliminate the possibility for any distractions or temptations and focus. Have been doing the same recently, though I have a playlist with piano music constantly on shuffle too. Perfect for getting in the zone and pushing your life forward. Just bought a dumb phone too as smartphone was still messing up my routine. All the best.

I think ditching the smartphone all together is a bit extreme. I went from a 6GB/mo data plan down to 200MB (for emergencies) and uninstalled all social apps and games. the phone is low end, too. I get the benefits of owning a smartphone (podcasts, notetaking, navigation, direct communication) without the distractions

[@pavimaris]

Podcasts, notetaking and direct communication are exactly what he is saying will NOT help you. (You could find an alternative for notetaking if that's important)

[@rlm5657]

Extreme is having a smartphone! The world is upside down.

[@Dplaysitcool]

So you basically stripped your smart phone down to nearly what Anton has anyway..... So not particularly extreme.

[@joshspiker]

The best advice I can give is something I learned from Tim Ferriss: turn off the phone and leave it in the car unless you absolutely need to use it. Turn it on, maybe once a day for 5-15 minutes, to check for messages and to stay informed. That said, I wouldn't completely ditch it, as they are invaluable to have nowadays, especially if you travel a lot or work in industries in which it's essential to have (like outside sales), just don't keep it on you 24/7. It's a huge time waster and productivity killer.

[@petedian]

I gotta get real with myself and start doing this. What a waste of time to be glued on phones

[@colinbooth1265]

Anton is smart and I value my time just watching this video. There is just too much 'noise' in the virtual world which is really distracting when you are trying to manage time and become more efficient.

[@noonpe622]

This is by far one of the best videos that I have watched in KZbin.

[@ferdinandwilhelm8749]

I believe it boils down to discipline. My smartphone adds a lot of value to my life (note taking, taking photos of receipts and important stuff, talking to my family over the internet who live abroad, ...). It’s true that you’ll waste a lot of time on things that don’t bring you joy or don’t get you anywhere if you’re only reactive and not disciplined. It’s important to keep in mind that not everything in life is a means to an end. It’s perfectly fine to indulge in things that bring you joy, even if they don’t improve a skill or make you more money. The key is to be aware of that and to be present.

I was using an old banger of a phone for ages, I got a smart phone not so long ago and its really useful. I still use it for the basics and don't sit there looking at it all the time. I actually prefer it, better quality photos and videos aswell. Overall though I think it depends on how you use the smart phone and what settings you have on it, he didn't need it to be buzzing when he got an email that notification can be turned off. I really like the example with how valuing your time with money is though, nice way of thinking about things.

[@thatdudeuhate6649]

If you're addicted to your phone, turning off notifications does nothing. You'll still have that urge to pick it up and check or scroll mindlessly through the phone for hours.

[@SW-wf3gy]

he is absolutely right. Don't create the chance for people to have expectation that they can get instant responses from you ever, unless they are very close to you like close family. I have a smartphone, but if I receive messages from friends that are not important, I just don't respond. It's such a waste of time. I hate it when people have dinner at the table and look at their phone or play video games.

[@pengekcs]

I agree in essence - but you can make use of a smartphone to check your broker, set up alerts at various price levels you want to watch, etc. What you should not do is install all kinds of crappy messaging apps (fb messenger, gmail with your heavily used email address, etc) as their constant notifications will drive you mad. There's also a way on ios / android to shut up all kinds of notifications from every app. So in essence you can use a smartphone but you need to tone it down use it almost like a regular phone, and use its smarty features only when you're on the go and want to check your positions.
