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.
