In this week's episode, we'll talk about how to spend less time on your phone and more time writing. You'll learn

  • How to boss your phone instead of letting your phone boss you.
  • A revolutionary setting change that may drastically reduce your desire to look at your phone
  • How to use your phone to write more productively
