learn how to create a barrier to distraction.
UNPLUQ ENABLES YOU TO SPEND TIME ON THE MEANINGFUL THINGS IN LIFE.
It frees you of distractions smartphones inevitably bring along. It enables you to decide when you want to be free of distraction, or when you want your entire phone’s functionality, by plugging the Unpluq key in or out.
By detaching the Unpluq key from your phone, the launcher switches to Unpluq mode. In Unpluq mode, only apps of your choice will be available and notifications of all other apps will be blocked. Yet when you make the conscious decision to plug the Unpluq key back in, you will have the functionality of your entire phone, and your missed notifications will be shown to you.
“You decide when you want to focus and make a conscious decision of when to physically plug it back in.”
PHYSICAL Benefits
Unpluq is a combination of hardware and software to regain control over your smartphone. With the addition of a physical key you have the option to create the barrier to distraction yourself: you can decide where to store the Unpluq key when you want to focus. Furthermore, you have to make a conscious decision to physically plug it in and enter the room of distraction.
Why?
78% of teens check their devices at least hourly, and 50% report feeling “addicted” to their phones; meanwhile, 69% of parents check their devices at least hourly, and 27% of parents feel "addicted"

who are you without your achievements?
this conversation with courtney covers the internal struggle between ambition and burn out.
our culture values “success” - what are your values?

Deep breathing is a great introduction to meditation, count to four. 1...2...3...4...
realize that you are more than your label.
at the end of peoples lives, many wish that they had accomplished less for themselves and loved others more.
what are your core values?
make your accomplishments part of a larger mission and purpose that serves others as well as yourself.
recognize that work and rest are two sides of the same coin. you have to recharge if you are going to compete in life. no one wins by burning out.
don’t take yourself too seriously. laugh at yourself and be open about your follies and limitations.
don’t hide your mistakes or failures from others - they are part of your process and journey toward success.
this paradox is an internal struggle that we all face. the first step is drawing awareness to these habits and opening your mind to new perspectives.
this is certainty a challenge, but we are all in this together. share your experience and set your intention for “sobering up your workaholic” in the comments below.
Who are you when you aren't your label?
Do you spend time helping others instead of helping yourself?
