3 Ways The Flip Phone Has Made Me More Productive!
Just like most people I own a smartphone, but wanted to see if a flip phone could make my online more productive. I had a friend who tried this experiment and it worked for them so I said why not. After doing it for a few weeks here are the 3 takeaways from using a flip phone over the traditional smartphone.
One of the first things I learned is you must adapt. I was so used to checking my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages, but on most flip phones that is a daunting task, to say the least. Over time you learn that checking these accounts can wait and you still make it through the day without any issues.
Secondly, I hated my smartphone as the battery always needs to be recharged it seems. With the flip phone, it will last all day long with no issues at all. No more worries about battery power which is nice. My smartphone would always make me find an outlet before the day was ha;f over. Less stress worrying about if I could keep it charged all day long.
Lastly, it gave me the one thing I was looking for more time for myself and to get things done. I do not have to worry about all these notifications popping up or checking things. I could concentrate on creating content and actually spend more time with the family. A win-win situation for me which is what I need right now.
So what's my verdict on the flip phone experiment? In some ways, I do miss the smartphone, and in other ways, I do not. If you want to get more things accomplished a flip phone isn't a bad option at all. More and more companies are making flip phones now, so the option is still available if you want it.
