Before you pick up a smartphone

Admit what you do in the morning as soon as you open your eyes?

Yes, that's the first thing I do reach for your phone. What's happened while I was sleeping? Who uploaded the new fotochki, and how many new likes delivered? What all of these new e-mails?

Once we pick up your smartphone as unstick from it simply is impossible. Pass precious morning minutes, during which you can and need to do so much useful things, but we're poking around in the electronic depths of this little monster.

However, recently I have found for myself lesson much more exciting and useful than a smartphone. In this article you will learn about what is now my hands are drawn in the morning first thing.

My faithful companion, who took the place of the smartphone next to my bed, became a regular notebook. Ordinary notebook paper with a pen. In it, I write down my "morning pages": dreams, ideas, thoughts, and plans. And here are some reasons why I do it.

1. Check your smartphone in the morning sets you on a jet perception

You just react to external impulses, passively absorb information that pours on you from the small screen. You respond to other people's letters, angry or rejoice another's actions, but do not do anything themselves.

No, how could they do with this little zhirafikom in Denmark?

And when you're writing something in his notebook, then there is a completely different process. You are being proactive behavior, ie are forming themselves and commit to new ideas, feelings and actions.

2. Smartphone Checking involves you in the hectic rhythm of haste

As a result, you are constantly afraid of missing something, too late, do not know. Although, in all honesty, say it many useful things you learn after watching a morning ribbon Facebook?

If I do not check every five minutes your news feed, all miss. And everything will collapse!

Production of records in a notebook is a completely different effect. You become focused, focused and calm. This is what you need for a good morning.

3. Smartphone Checking changes your perception of reality

Absorbed in reading the news, you feelThat this is what is most important in your life, while the surrounding reality fades into the background.

How can you think of a crowded bin when again unsettled in the world?

Personal notes on a pad reminder of what's really important right now and for you personally.

4. Check your smartphone does the usual, and life - worthless

You every morning bristling in his small screen, so do millions of other human beings around the world. All eagerly consume megabytes of useless information that passes through you, without leaving any trace.

Today is lived not in vain: Read all the news, seals zalaykany, sfotkatsya dinner.

It is quite another - personal records in a notebook. This track of your thoughts, torments, ups and downs. This cast of your life, if you want. Many years ago when my grandfather died, his things found several notebooks personal records. Leafing through the pages, I found out more about him than for all time personal encounters and conversations. And what will be left after us, obsolete model smartphone with a shrunken battery?

Your personal diary immediately become precious to the next of kin, after 50 years there will be worthy of a place in the local museum, and a 150 - will be a historic document. Your smartphone is immediately sent to the trash, or melted down.

If you are imbued with this text and already want to start writing, you listen to last another tip. Most people at first try to write as much as possible, filling page after page. Then the first fuse is held, and support to take the bar is becoming more and more difficult as a result of a person simply throws the case.

Therefore, from the outset it is to adhere to the principle of "less is better". Start with one sentence every dayBut let it be exactly what is important to you.

A good method, by the way, finally found it.
