224. Is Your Phone Affecting Your Growth? | 5 Ways Phone Addiction is Limiting Your Potential

Luminary Leadership Podcast

Is your phone affecting your potential and business growth? The answer is YES, even if you don’t want to admit it.

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I dive deep into the negative impacts that excessive phone usage has on creativity, productivity, and time management, especially for us entrepreneurs.

Drawing from various studies and my own experiences, I discuss how smartphones can reduce creative thinking and problem-solving abilities by up to 40%. Can you imagine what you could do with a 40% increase? I share the strategies I've adopted to minimize phone distractions, including a personal rule of no phone use before noon and scheduling specific times to check my phone. I wrap up the episode by encouraging you to embrace a more intentional approach to phone usage to enhance cognitive function and improve the quality of your life overall.
