3. Hide Your Phone
The best productivity app on your phone is Airplane Mode.
Would you rather:
Be in the library all day unfocused
OR
Study 4 laser-focused hours and get on with your day?
The choice is yours.

Plan for contingencies
If you find yourself without a charger, a bathroom, or internet...
You did not plan your mission properly.
