And for some reason, many web designers are choosing not to get involved in this valuable work. Why they make that choice is beyond me. But I'm here to (hopefully) change their mind.

I recently simplified and detoxed my smartphone. I deleted apps, turned off notifications, and created a search-powered interface. (this also happens to be my most popular video ever, by far)

Deleting these six phone apps has made the largest impact on my health, focus and productivity. 

What makes these apps perfectly primed for deletion is the fact that you don’t have to stop using them completely. These apps all have a web version that is just as good of an experience, and sometimes even better.

If you want to regain your focus and productivity, and improve your  overall mood and well-being, you need to delete these six phone apps  first.

There are lots of things I’m terrible at, but I’ve always been good  with my money. I manage my budget closely, and make sure to have financial goals to strive for. So when I found myself with a large amount of credit card debt, I was beyond frustrated.

My dad and I ran a family business for nearly 10 years. Unfortunately, it came time to shut the business down, and my dad and I both found ourselves suddenly unemployed.  And because we had spent the final months of our little business trying so hard to save it, we also had no money.
