Yes friends, as the  incredibly hyperbolic

Modal verbs - A2

title of this video implies, you can indeed

The imperative

organize your iPhone    home screen in such a way

that it will transform    you into an ultra powerful

work robot with super-powers   of productivity.

people on the internet  spend so much time

It just wouldn't make  since. So, lets begin.

Before we jump into my current  set up, I think it would

be good to contrast it  with the previous one.

So here's a shot of   my old home screen.

Not terrible, but not  really great either.

in the home screen that shouldn't be there,

The main thing you'll  notice with my current

iPhone set up, is that it   consists of only one screen.

I've chosen not to fill the   whole screen up with apps.

Instead of trying to   fill up every single

slot with an app, I've narrowed my choices down

The rest of the apps live    in one of four folders:

Choosing these four categories  took a lot of thought.

My conclusion after thinking   about it for a while

most preform actions that either help me get

The ones that don't fit live in the Sift folder,

which I thought was a better   word than junk or other.

and keep me from playing with  my phone more than I need to.

On the productivity  side, I have apps like

To-Do List, Google Calendar, and pomodoro.

to look up so I can do more   concentrated research later,

rather than interrupting whatever it is I'm doing right now.

That's why an app called Drafts lives in my dock.

It allows me to open it and   immediately start writing.

I found that keeping   them in the folders

actually discourages me    from using them too much.

Tweetbot and Instagram are  the only ones that get a place

on my home screen, as I post on them regularly,

A couple of other things I've  done to reduce distractions:

For one, no apps are allowed   to have badge notifications

except for the Text message and Phone apps.

actual notifications  my phone will send me,

So absolutely nothing  will get a hold of me

unless it's somebody   calling for the second time.

Alright, so maybe you  watched this video

"Wait a minute, that guy made a speed reading

video last week, and  he promised me another

So, where's the speed  reading video? Hmm?"

So this being Wednesday as I record this,

tomorrow morning I'm   hopping on a plane

and unlike most of the  conferences I go to,

dedicated to designing  that presentation,

creating my slides,  practicing it because

unfortunately, unlike  YouTube, I can't just do takes

over and over again  until I get it right,

and hence, there wasn't enough time left over

to make that follow   up video at a level

So, hopefully you enjoyed    this shorter video.
