I came across the video below by Tim Ferriss on YouTube, one of those recommended ones, tiled “How to Use Your Phone… So That It Doesn’t Use You”

At the 3:56th minte he says “I want to be in command of my time and I don’t want every one else’s agenda to become my to-do list.”

This resonates with Cal Newport’s book Deep Work that I read sveral years ago. It’s a fantastic book. That, and The One Thing by Gary Keller that I also read around that time. These convinced me to delete my Social Media accounts (except Twitter, though even that …), and it’s like there was an extra twelve hours in my day.

Conclusion

Eliminate distractions, and you give yourself a chance to achieve your goals.
