Outlines
📱 Your Phone: Friend or Foe?
This paragraph introduces the concept that your phone can either help or hinder your productivity. The video will discuss a 'phone optimizing protocol' used by successful individuals to minimize distractions and enhance focus. It emphasizes that most people aren't willing to optimize their phone usage like this, but viewers are encouraged to adopt this approach to stop being distracted by their phones.
🔒 Power Button as a Barrier
The first step in the phone optimization protocol is to disable automatic features like 'raise to wake' and 'touch to wake.' This creates a small barrier, requiring you to manually press the power button, which reduces the chances of mindlessly picking up your phone and engaging in bad habits.
📂 Organize Your Apps for Efficiency
To further optimize your phone, organize your apps logically and place important ones on the home screen. This makes it easier to access necessary apps while creating micro barriers, like swiping to reach distracting apps. Grouping apps into folders can also reduce the likelihood of distraction when navigating from one app to another.
🔕 Disable Notifications & Icon Badges
Disabling notifications and icon badges is another key step in controlling phone usage. Notifications and badge icons act as visual stimuli, adding unnecessary stress. By disabling them, you take control of your phone, instead of letting your phone control you. This also removes the temptation to get distracted.
🗑️ Delete Unused Apps
Another important step is to delete random, unused apps. These apps slow down your phone and serve as potential distractions. Don’t hesitate to remove them since they can be easily reinstalled if needed. This helps declutter your phone and reduce the number of triggers for procrastination.
🔄 Leveraging Focus Modes
For times when you find yourself in a 'half work, half chill' state, use Focus modes on your phone. These modes can be customized for work, fitness, or relaxation, allowing you to switch easily between different setups that align with specific mindsets. The key is to keep the setups simple, as minimal distractions lead to better productivity.
📸 Motivational Background
Your phone background can be used for motivation. For instance, you could use a selfie of an older version of yourself for a week as a reminder of why you're working hard. This visual prompt encourages you to stay focused, reminding you that your future self’s success is dependent on the actions you take now.
🌑 Set Your Phone to Black and White
The final step is to turn your phone display to grayscale. Removing color limits the dopamine rush from scrolling through social media, making it less enjoyable and, therefore, reducing your screen time. This simple change can drastically reduce how often you mindlessly check your phone.

Transcripts
your phone could either be your greatest
friend or your worst enemy in this video
you are going to learn about the phone
optimizing protocol which all successful
people have leveraged to get to where
they are having a phone set up exactly
like a aoji is something most are not
willing to do but you are not just some
average guy are you this protocol is the
key to stop getting distracted by your
phone like a little boy so listen
carefully till the end of the video the
first thing you need to do is to make it
so your phone only turns on when you
manually press the power button this is
so important because increasing the
difficulty to engage in bad habits makes
you significant less likely to do them
you having to manually press the power
button acts as a micro barrier stopping
you from mindlessly picking up your
phone for no reason all you have to do
is to disable the race to wake and touch
to wake options on your phone next you
need to organize your phone to do that
structure your apps logically and make
the most important ones be easily
accessible on your home screen the
friction of doing the extra swipe to go
to timec consuming apps acts as another
micro barrier and having your app
structured in a folder makes you less
likely to get distracted on your way
from your home screen to the app you
should also disable notifications and
icon badges icon badges are unnecessary
visual stimuli and disabling them
prevents you from accumulating stress
just by looking at those numbers adding
up the truth is that if you don't
disable notifications and icon badges
you are not controlling your phone
instead your phone is the one
controlling you moreover delete all
random apps that you have not used in a
long time but that are still installed
on your phone these apps not only make
your phone slower but they also act as
potential triggers to pull you off your
work and kill your productivity don't be
shy of getting rid of old stuff remember
that in case you really need one of
these apps in the future you can always
install them again have you ever had the
problem of not being fully committed to
a certain mode for example when you are
trying to do work you are in this half
work half chill state where you still
have YouTube or Discord open if that
ever happens to you this trick will be
very helpful you need to start
leveraging Focus modes for example you
could create Focus modes for work
Fitness and also a chill mode what you
include in these modes is very
individual as a general rule of thumb
the less the better these modes are
helpful because a big part of
productivity is mindset and having
different setups reinforces the the idea
of what mode your brain should be in now
let's talk about your phone background I
think you are missing the opportunity
for a quick motivation boost if you
don't have a thoughtful background one
idea could be that for one week you put
a selfie of an old version of yourself
as your background you can do that quite
effortlessly with face app now every
time you open your phone you can see for
whom you're doing the hard work do you
want your grandpa version to have had a
successful life and is scrolling on
Instagram helping you achieve that the
last thing you can do to optimize your
phone for productivity is to make it
black and white this limits the dopamine
you get from your phone and will make
scrolling on social media a lot less fun
the setup is very simple go to settings
and click on accessibility next go to
display and text size and then color
filters lastly select gray
scale
