Does this sound familiar?

You're at work.

And you really need to focus on something important. 

So you put your phone away, knowing that deep work is impossible otherwise.

A few seconds later, you hear a ding. 

You just got a text.

It's probably not important. It can wait.

A minute passes.

But what if it was important?

What if it's that one person you've been waiting to hear back from?

Still, you have work to do. You told yourself you weren't going to let your phone distract you.

Another two minutes pass.

But what if they need a response from you?

What if now they're wondering why you haven't answered them?

What if they feel ignored?

What if you miss a big opportunity and piss them off?

Enough is enough. 

Better to know what it is and then get back to work, right?

You're not actually working anyway. Your mind is too clouded by this "mystery text." 

So you reach over and check your phone. 

And what was it...?

Someone gave your last text a "thumbs up." 

It was nothing. Just a waste of time.

You look at your watch. 

20 minutes have passed and you haven't accomplished a thing.

"Back to work" you say. And this time you PROMISE not to check your phone until the task is complete. 

But a moment later... from across your desk...

You hear that ping again...

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

One of the reasons we can't focus on our priorities is because we feel obligated to get back to people quickly. 

There's one surprisingly simple tool I discovered in 2018 that solves exactly this. 

Since then, thousands of people around the world have started using it. You could say it's gone viral. 

It's easy to set up and it singlehandedly has saved me and my clients thousands of hours of productive time.

It's also perfect whenever you want to take a take a day off or go on vacation. It's like an "out of office" for your phone.

I call it BRICK MODE.

Brick Mode is an iMessage auto-reply you can turn on whenever you go phone-free.

If you haven't set up Brick Mode yet, you can watch my NEW easy step-by-step video tutorial here:

With focus,

P.S. I'm hosting a free live virtual masterclass next week called "How to Breathe for Stress Relief" on September 22nd at 11:30AM Pacific with an amazing Certified Breath Coach. My expert guest speakers are usually exclusively for my VIP clients, but I've decided to open up next week's session to 3 email subscribers. I'll probably charge money for the replay of this later, because it's life-changing stuff. So if you're interested, email me ASAP and if you're one of the first 3 people I'll get you on the list.
