This episode, hosted by Andrés Díaz, explores how smartphones can both hinder and help in overcoming procrastination through digital strategies. It highlights that most people spend significant time on entertainment and social media, often wasting hours daily. To combat this, Díaz recommends organizing device settings by activating “Do Not Disturb” during work, using task management apps like Todoist or Trello to break down tasks, and employing timers or the Pomodoro Technique to maintain focus. He emphasizes the importance of blocking distracting websites and limiting social media usage through built-in app features or third-party tools such as Freedom or Cold Turkey. Turning off unnecessary notifications and implementing advanced measures like dual authentication can further reduce distractions. Creating healthy digital habits—like setting specific phone-checking times and avoiding screens in bed—is also crucial. Díaz stresses that success depends on consistent use and proper configuration of these tools. By doing so, individuals can reclaim over two hours daily spent on aimless scrolling, leading to more productive and meaningful time. The episode encourages reflection on whether phones are used to live fully or just waste time, urging listeners to take control and make their devices serve their goals.
