As someone who encourages people to increase their productivity, I always try to be productive myself. It is including how I interact with the phone. Now, I want to share with you how to increase your productivity by doing something with your Android smartphone. Well, it is called a smartphone, it is smart enough to make you distracted. One of the most annoying experiences I have is when I suddenly hear some tone comes from my un-silent-ed phone and I just realized that it was from one of the apps I installed on my phone. More frustratingly, this kind of notification sometimes not only triggered by one app, most of the app, I installed to have this kind of alert. So, I decided to turn it off.

Today I want to discuss something related to myself, so if you don’t like a selfish article, feel free to leave this page now, but I try to make this article as much as useful as my other article. So, if you like my other article, maybe you also like this one.

Like other mainstream people, I often spent days without done any fulfilling activity. Fulfilling activity may vary from person to person. For example you might be fulfilled when you meet your girlfriend or a girl you like and approach. Another people might be fulfilled when they helping people. Or if you like me, you might be feeling fulfilled when you find and idea and go back to your room and write something about it either a blogpost, scientific article or any kind of article.
