Ignore Your Phone

T - Minus 212 Days

Good luck today to Brecken and the Sluggers at the Little League World Series.

I'd say the same to the Sooners in Women's College World Series, but it will all be about executing and coaching.

People forget that Microsoft killed Blackberry. You didn't need a proprietary phone or expensive software with a separate server to get your e-mail on any phone.

Dozens of phone manufacturers had Windows Mobile and Microsoft even created its own phone making Blackberry obsolete. Even the first iPhones only supported POP3 e-mail and didn't become popular until supporting Microsoft Exchange 2 years later.

"WOW, you can get your e-mail on your phone? I want to do that!", some CEO would exclaim.

"You don't have a mail server or even a network", I'd point out. It didn't matter because business could move faster.

Today business moves slow because little is accomplished on time and few decisions are made because everyone is so distracted.


Daily Mission:?Set an alarm on your phone to only check every 2 hours - and be amazed at how much more you accomplish along with being in a better mood.
