The Best Minute: Turning off your phone, finding inspiration, and thinking

1 PRODUCTIVITY SOLUTION FROM ME

If you have trouble going to bed consistently, try turning off your phone at some point in the evening before you go to bed.

Many people spend a lot more time on their phone than they realize (Don’t believe me? Check your phone usage report in your settings.), and the simple act of having to turn your phone back on can be enough of a deterrent to stop checking it so often.

What if someone calls you in the middle of the night? The better question is how often does that actually happen?

It is better to plan your life around the 99% probability that your phone will keep you up longer the more you use it than the less the 1% probability someone will actually call you with an emergency that you can do something about at 2 AM).

1 INTERESTING FACT

Sweat doesn’t actually stink.

It's the bacteria on your skin that breaks the sweat down that causes the odor. Additionally, you'll find that the sweat on your arms and legs doesn't smell as much as your armpits. That's because sweat glands in your armpits secrete more protein into a dark, damp environment—the perfect place and food for bacteria.
