:D

Like you, I’ve turned notifications off or left them on in the swipe down notifications menu and have also deleted a lot of SMedia apps from my phone to reduce distraction.

Another tip, thanks to Taylor Davidson (more here) was to move all of my iPhone apps in to a “Deep Work” folder that sits at the bottom of the screen next to a “Weekly Surf” folder (with a few wave/weather checking apps). This keeps these two subjects top of mind for me and means I use iPhone search even more (not a huge change as I used it most of the time).

(The exception, as Taylor suggests, is to leave apps you want to use more often at the top of your screen — e.g. I’ve got Mailchimp so I can check my newsletter stat’s more often.)

Thanks again for taking the time to share exceptional content , wonderful tips and insights :)
