In almost every pocket in the world, there’s a device that’s many times stronger than a computer that has sent people to the moon. So, what are we using these devices for – mostly watching YouTube and scrolling social media?
The problem with this is not that these things are inherently bad. The thing is that they’re just the tip of the iceberg of all that your smartphone has to offer. Just the fact that you have access to the internet gives you infinite possibilities.
In other words, you have the tool capable of providing you with infinite education, entertainment, and business opportunity at the tip of your finger. Why not use it to push forward in life?
With that in mind, here are the top 10 ways your phone could improve your life today!
1. Monitor your time-management
You are probably aware that your day is not the best organized. You might also occasionally feel like you’re wasting time; however, you may not understand what to do about it. This is because you lack vital analytical information – what are you wasting your time on?
- How much time do you spend commuting?
- Are your breaks longer than planned?
- How much time do you spend on YouTube or Instagram?
With the help of a time-monitoring app, you’ll get an answer to all of these questions. You’ll also get suggestions, notifications, alarms, and improved schedules (ones that you can keep up with). Overall, this makes you a more organized and more efficient human being.
2. Improve your fitness
You can use many apps to improve your fitness, regardless of your interests or athletic inclinations. For instance, if you’re too lazy to do regular cardio, you can pick an app that gamifies the experience. An app out there has you roleplaying that you’re running from zombies.
You also have apps that offer all sorts of abs regimes. If you’re into combat sports, you can download a boxing timer and set it to either boxing or MMA round.
If you have a smartwatch, you can track your vitals, thus raising this to a whole new level.
3. Learn new skills
There are so many educational apps online. However, you can start with something universally appreciated – like learning a language. Even a rudimentary, free app like Duolingo provides amazing results.
You can also develop a skill online by watching YouTube videos and reading ebooks/whitepapers on your interest. This is the closest aspect to traditional learning.
There’s also an aspect of microlearning. When watching a YouTube video, learning how to make a Windsor knot on your tie takes about a minute. You can pick up so many of these micro-skills every single day.
4. Invest
Modern smartphones provide you with an unprecedented level of financial freedom. Namely, you can download an exchange and trade in stocks, fiat currencies, or crypto. Speaking of which…
If you’re interested in crypto, many great apps exist. All you need to do is read the latest recommendations and pick the ones you find the most suitable. This way, you can grow your portfolio quickly and accurately.
The most important of all is the fact that you can control all your assets via your smartphone. This level of asset control makes all the difference.
5. Find friends and lovers
People use smartphone apps to stay in touch with friends even after moving halfway across the globe. Others join communities that they could never belong to if they didn’t have access to the internet.
Then, there’s a statistic that about 39% of heterosexual and 60% of same-sex relationships start online. Even the lower statistic amounts to two-fifths of mankind, which is alarming. With more people working from home and many workplaces not being mixed gender, finding a partner in today’s world is getting increasingly harder.
Why not use an app to find a lifelong friend or the love of your life?
6. Automate your household
Smart homes are the future. Imagine not having to go back home to check if you’ve turned the oven on or remembered to lock the front door before walking out. This would be a massive quality-of-life upgrade.
Then, there’s the issue of energy and resource-friendliness, in general. Namely, setting your AC, thermostat, and garden irrigation system for optimal efficiency will prevent wasteful household management habits. It will also improve the overall comfort you feel in your own home.
Lastly, there’s the non-material benefit of living in a futuristic home that many people have dreamed of for years. The future is finally here.
7. Take better care of your finances
You should download a budgeting app as soon as possible. It doesn’t matter how much money you make if you can’t properly care for your finances. The biggest problem is data entry and the fact that most of the time, you just postpone or forget.
Modern budgeting apps can scan QR codes from physical receipts and scan them using the integrated OCR and AI systems. You can also connect your cards and accounts, making tracking expenses almost automatic.
Missing or skipping any expense will be much harder, and your expense tracking will be more accurate.
8. Improve your mental health
There are so many mindfulness apps out there that you can download. Through them, you could learn how to meditate, process anger more productively, and face anxiety more successfully.
The biggest problem with traditional support is that you won’t have it in your time of need. A phone is always in your pocket; if you need an app with your favorite breathing exercise, you only have to take out your phone.
Most importantly, most apps are adjustable to provide a personalized experience. This is the most important thing for mental health.
9. Improve your navigation
Finding better routes for your daily commute can save you time and money and allow you to avoid a lot of anxiety. Modern GPS apps can track road conditions and traffic density, not just the distance to your target. This way, they can suggest alternative roads to reach your target location much faster.
Another thing you need to bear in mind is the significance of navigation while traveling abroad. Because you won’t always have a connection to the internet, you want to download an offline map to help you out.
10. Start a side gig
There are so many jobs you can find using your phone and many gigs you can access. For instance, you could find an app that helps find people who need a pet sitter or someone to clean their home.
Some online tutors use just their phones for work. After all, it doesn’t have to be a laptop camera or a webcam attached to a desktop computer. Even as a student, you can buy inexpensive hardware and start working.
Remember that most spaces where you can find work online, like LinkedIn, JobRack, or Fiverr, also have smartphone apps. In other words, if you’re looking for a day job, part-time job, or a gig, you can easily find them via your smartphone. Some even argue that a smartphone is the easiest way to find them.
You can introduce all of these changes with a simple app download
The best thing is that you don’t have to wait for anything. You can just find an app, download it in minutes or seconds and start reaping these benefits today. You can get your first match on the dating app by the end of the day and get a new side gig by the end of the week. You can also scan today’s bills and check how you’re standing with your daily fitness goals. Each of these can be life-changing.
