And for many of us, our phone IS our computer.
70% of our phone time is inside apps, as opposed to making calls, texting, or using native functions.
So what you have on your home screen is an indicator of what you spend your time doing and where your priorities are.
Here’s my home screen.
What it says about me is that I’m focused on productivity apps— building my business, managing projects, and communicating.
To the last bit, I’m spending a LOT of time in social networks, especially the new ones hugely popular with folks under 30.
This is where our new generation of customers, entrepreneurs, and leaders are being formed.
So I want to understand and appreciate it instead of brush it off.
What’s on your home screen?
