Like I've noticed like friends who like, who haven't talked in a while and follow me, like, What? Well, I'm unfollowing you then.

like not being invited to the birthday party. It's actively not, and that's telling everybody I'm not inviting you to the birthday party. I'm having a birthday party. Louis isn't invited. Just want Louis to know, hey, Louis, you're not invited to my birthday party. Just want you to know. So it's fine. But yeah, I think it is true. Just mute everybody.

And always say no to notifications. Yeah. Allow notifications? No. I have notifications turned on for text, phone call, and I think that's it.

Every other notification from my phone is turned off. Text and phone calls are the only thing that is allowed. And even phone calls don't ring. The phone doesn't buzz. There's no noise when that phone call comes in. And then I say, oh, I missed a call and I call them back. Yeah, that's smart. It's wise. So basically the only thing, and I always have my ringer off, always. Me too.

I never have it on. But also the thing that I've been practicing is having my phone not near me. So you have your phone in your pocket. Yeah, yours is over there. My phone is in the other room.

Because you still know that things are coming in. I don't hear it or feel it. But you know they're coming in.

So there's data on this. I'll get the numbers wrong, but you'll get the point, right? Which is when you have a phone on a desk with face up, you're something, you're like distracted 70% of the time or something. It's like ridiculously high. If the phone is down, it goes to like 40%, but you're still like, you're looking at it the whole time, you know, wondering what's coming in.

If it's on and in your bag next to you, you're distracted 10% of the time. You're still distracted when it's in your bag. Yeah, it's crazy. And so what I find is if you put it in airplane mode- then you know nothing's coming in. Or turn it off. Turn it off or put it in air-made mode and leave it in another room. It's good. I do it all the time now, and I find it actually quite relaxing.

But, you know, parents are the worst offenders of this. There are schools that want to ban phones and the parents would say no. I think schools should ban phones.

Like when we were kids, they're like...
