Get A Home For Your Phone
On this episode Kat talks about why your phone being out of your bedroom will be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When you think about the concept of a mobile phone, the idea is that we have this device that we can take anywhere with us. This also presents huge challenges. Every single time I ask the question “which habits are negatively impacting your energy/performance at work and home?” the answer is always related to the phone.
- It’s becoming a huge issue. The 2023 Mental State of the World Report talks about one of the 3 main contributing factors to our mental health is our smartphones. In particular, the age at which young people are getting access to smartphones.
- It’s become such an incredible tool for being able to stay in contact with the people we love and share memories, but there’s a dark side too. My excessive phone habits were a huge contributing factor to nearly having a heart attack in 2016.
- The challenge with having mobile phones in our bedrooms is that we’re tempted to look at them which affects your mental wellbeing. The more people take action to create a home for their phones the better you sleep, the better your relationships are, the better your health is, the better your performance is at work and home.
BEST MOMENTS
“80% of people check their mobile phones within 15 minutes of opening their eyes.”
“How do you use your mobile phone? What kind of relationship do you have with them?
“We used to have other alarms before we had smartphones.”
ABOUT THE HOST
Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life’ price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit, and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself.
She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.
