How to Really Use #Smartphone #Technology for Enhanced Productivity

Ready to break your addictions to bad Smartphone habits and actually start getting more done and enjoying more freedom? Whether you are rocking the new iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy or LG, your Smartphone can quickly become one of your biggest enemies of productivity rather than a highly effective digital assistant.

The new iPhone 5 is one of the worst culprits too. Most Smartphone users simply have too much on their devices, including endless unused or underutilized productivity apps, turning them into more of a distraction than anything else.

Plus, you still check the phone when it isn't buzzing out of habit, check Facebook like Mark Zuckerberg at the end of the "Social Network" hoping for a new friend request, ruining what could be great Zen time, a good date, valuable meeting, or critical innovative moment.

You can take the luxury of refreshing your screen every five minutes once you have a few billion in the bank from your IPO, until then stay on your game.
Three Tips for Increased Productivity on Your Smartphone:

1. Toss it
The truth is tossing your phone may be most productive thing you can do, but considering that isn't likely to happen…

2. Use the "Sticky Note" Strategy
Like old school sticky notes, put those productivity apps you really should be and want to be using on your home screen and ban those distracting apps. Angry Birds and Facebook will still be there when you get home.

3. Use Your Phone for Its Real Purpose
Utilize the most advanced toll free routing and call forwarding options and email notifications to simply take the most important and urgent calls. Delegate everything else and stay focused on what you are doing in the moment. Your prospects, your romantic partner, and your blood pressure level will love you more.
