The best thing about having your phone on silent mode is that you won’t be distracted by the notifications popping up on your screen.

By simply keeping your phone on silent mode, you are telling yourself not to be distracted by the notifications.

How does this help Founders?

By turning off notifications, you are telling yourself that you should not be distracted by what’s happening in the outside world.

It helps to keep yourself focused and motivated to do what’s important for your startup.

What is the impact?

By turning off the notifications, you are telling yourself to focus on what’s important instead.

This helps to increase productivity and innovation in your startup.

Action Items:

Turn off notifications on your phone so that you don’t get distracted by the outside world.

Tell yourself that there are more important things to do than checking out what’s happening in the outside world.

It will help you to stay focused when you need to be.
