Even though most often neglected, unplugging from this crazy, hectic world is a
must. And not only when you go on vacation, but also in your daily routine. So
today, Luis and Nicolai lay out the benefits they get from doing it — and how
you can do it too.

What You'll Learn:

* How often should you completely unplug? The answer is not what you think
* The huge productivity, creativity, and sleep benefits of unplugging
* Planning vacations and long weekends early on in the year — and taking them
* The good and bad of using your phone
* 4 extremely simple phone rules that can significantly boost your productivity
* How to use your phone automation features to stop you from using it all the
time
* Why your phone home screen should be blank
* And much more!
