Spending too much time on apps takes your focus away from what’s important. If you’re trying to be a leader, being attached to your phone makes you seem distracted and not serious.

Pointless Meetings or Hangouts

Having group chats or meetings with no real plan can waste everyone’s time. A good leader should make sure the group stays on track and uses time wisely.

Multitasking

Trying to do everything at the same time leads to mistakes and confusion. Leaders should focus on one thing at a time to do it well and stay calm.

Distracting Notifications

Notifications from your phone can make it hard to concentrate. If you want to lead, you need to show others that you’re focused and in control.

Micromanaging

Spending way too much time fixing little things can slow everything down. Leaders should know when “good enough” is actually good enough.

Favorite Quote

"You may delay, but time will not." This is my favorite quote because it shows how time will go on. If you decide to push things away, they will only get done later.

Set limits on social media

Use your phones screen time. This will help limit your access to your phone and will promote productivity.

Make a plan before meetings

Write down what you want to talk about so the group doesn’t waste time. Leaders who stay organized help everyone get things done faster.

Silence notifications

Put your phone on Do Not Disturb when you’re studying or leading something. This helps you stay on task and be more in control.
