7 Time Management Mistakes You Are Making With Your Smartphone

 

Many people use a smartphone as part of their time management strategy.

From the first PDA’s to the newest phones, technology has forever changed our time management capabilities.

It has allowed us to use simpler, more effective tools.  We have the power to access information and organize in ways never before possible.

However, sometimes it can be too much.  Sometimes it seems that our smartphones are taking over our lives.  They can complicate things as much as the alleviate them.

Are you being the most effective you can with your smartphone?  Are you using it or is it using you?

Here are some of the common smartphone time management mistakes… 

Smartphone Pitfalls

There are pitfalls in using any tool.  The smartphone is no exception.

You can let it help you with your organization or you can let it take complicate your life and take up all your time.

Some people use all the power and functionality of their smartphone.  Others only use a few features.  No matter which side you are on, here  are 7 Time Managment Mistakes to Avoid Making with Your Smartphone:

  1. Not Using a Synced Calendar – One of the most powerful smartphone features is the ability to sync your information across multiple platforms/devices.  Ensure that your calendar is synched to your desktop and even home PC.  This will allow you to maintain one calendar instead of many separate ones.  The same is true for your contacts and todo items.
  2. Answering It All the Time – One of the biggest problems with phones… is that they ring.  They interrupt your day and productivity.  Most people have a Pavlovian response to answering their phone.  However, remember that your phone is for your convenience.  Do not let others interrupt if you are in the middle of something.
  3. Checking Your Email 278 Times a Day – Just because you can access your email from your phone, doesn’t mean you need to do it every time you have a 30 second break.  Resist the urge to constantly check your email.  And by all means, turn off your work email when you are not working.
  4. Not Backing It Up – What information would you lose if you lost your phone?  Todos, contacts, appointments, pictures?  For many people, their smartphone is their personal computer.  Make sure your information is backed up.  There are many ways to do this these days depending on your phone.  (The iPhone backs itself up each time you sync it.)
  5. Having a Phone That is Too Complicated For You – I often say, “Use Tools You’ll Use.”  In other words, choose tools that you like and are comfortable with and you will be much more likely to continue using them.  The mistake many people make is to buy the newest most complicated phone available.  If you are not technology oriented, then you may be hindering your productivity not helping it.  Pick one that suits your needs and level of experience.
  6. Using the Camera Only for Pictures – If you are only using your smartphone’s camera to take pictures of your kids or cat, then you are missing out.  Your smartphone’s camera can be used to capture all kinds of information.  Whiteboards.  Notes. Reminders.  (Where did I park?)  Documents.  And more.  There are some great applications to help you manage your information pictures.  (Check out Evernote.)
  7. Not Keeping It Visible – This one may sound counterintuitive.  As we talk about smartphones taking over our lives, one of the mistakes people make is not looking at their phone until it is too late.  With a smartphone, you cannot “see” your todo list or calendar unless you turn the device on.  One advantage of a paper-based system is that it is always visible.  Visibility leads to action.  Make sure you do not file your todos and other info away on your smartphone, never to look at it again.

Smartly Using Your Phone

Smartphones have forever changed our lives and world.

The allow us to do amazing things.  However, they can complicate our lives, too.

Ensure that you are using your smartphone and not the other way around.

What time management mistakes do you make with your smartphone?  What are you best tips?

Staring Out Over the Bridge

Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Chris Guillebeau of The Art of Non-Conformity. Follow him on Twitter here.

When you were a kid and wanted to do something your parents or teachers didn’t like, you may have heard the question, “If everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you?” The idea is that it’s not good to do something stupid, even if everyone else is doing it. The logic is think for yourself instead of following the crowd.

It’s good advice, regardless of the motivations of the authority figure giving it to you. But one day, you grow up and suddenly the tables are turned. People start expecting you to behave very much like they do. If you disagree and don’t conform to their expectations, some of them get confused or irritated. It’s almost as if they are asking: “Hey, everyone else is jumping off the bridge. Why aren’t you?”

Every day, you’ll encounter the bridge in countless decisions and conversations—but the choice of whether to jump or not is completely up to you. How can you back away and make your own choices? 

Try this:

1. Ask why. A powerful, annoying question, why is frequently used by three-year-olds but usually abandoned by adults. Support the why revolution. Start asking why of everyone, including yourself.

2. Clarify. What’s it all about? What do you really want to do, and how can you make that the priority?

3. Simplify. That’s what minimalism is all about—letting go and living the dream. But the best part of simplicity has nothing to do with how many socks you own; it lies in being clear about your intentions and motivations.

4. Do … more. That’s right, do more, not less. When you don’t know your core passions and are staring out over the bridge, it’s good to back off and strip everything down. But when you’re crafting a remarkable life, why wouldn’t you want more of it?

Here are a few options for step four: learn a language. Write a book. Take a trip. Learn to walk on hot coals. Enroll in trapeze school. Volunteer.

Or do something else—it’s a big world out there. The main question is: How can you wake up tomorrow and live the life you want, while also connecting with the world around you?

Most of us don’t really want the simplest possible life. We want a life that is free from clutter, yes—but we need to connect our lives with a greater purpose. We don’t need to own things we don’t use, but we should spend freely on meaningful experiences. We should invest in ourselves and invest in others.

Take a hard look at the life before you. Are you staring out over the bridge? Take a step back. Decide for yourself what’s best.

The rest is entirely up to you.
