This little piece of tech changed my life

Want to learn how to edit your own content using Descript? https://www.bambyacademy.com/learndescript I received an Apple Watch for my birthday. “Woop de doo,” I hear you say. “People get Apple Watches all the time. What’s the big deal?” Well, the big deal is that it has changed my life. And there is a very simple reason why. Attention. Prior to my Apple Watch life, my phone was the way I accessed the bulk of those things that we all need: The time, the date, banking, messages, phone calls, music, podcasts, maps, photos. But because my phone also had these: Social media, YouTube, News, Business Apps, Analytics, Slack, Real Estate, Airbnb… Well, I know you understand what I’m going to say next. I would pick up my phone purely because I wanted to know what time it was, and all of a sudden I was on Instagram answering DM’s and “just checking” my work emails. If I was ever “waiting” for something my default action would be to check my phone. But since this little watch has come into my life, all that has changed. My energy has shifted from distracted, to attentive. I don’t bring my phone anywhere unless it’s a bigger business trip. Everything I actually need is on my wrist. The rest I can access within work hours when I’m at my desk. And I feel like me again.
