What is Your Phone Background?
This short blog post may come across as a little silly but I’ve found it to help me start reaching some goals I have.
Answer this question to yourself. “What are some goals you would like achieve here at Wealthy Affiliate and in life?”
(Now really sit and think.)
Okay now that you have thought about this, what is preventing you from reaching those goals? Do you spend a lot of time on your phone aimlessly scrolling social media, (Like me) or even browsing the internet and doing research on the next best thing you want to buy, (Also me.) Now if you find yourself on your phone a lot, you might like what I have to say.
Small Changes Make a Difference
My phone background used to consist of landscapes ranging from the mountains to the beach, but that never really helped me. I had it there as an added filler to make my phone screen look nice.
This past week though I decided to change that background to my goals. I put a collage of photos together and made that the background I look at all the time. This sounds silly but now that I have a reminder of what I really want in life and look at it 24/7 it helps me stay determined to work towards these goals.
You can set all the goals in the world but if you are not working towards them or making an effort to reach them then your goals are just dreams. Having something to look and be reminded of every day will help you get out of that rut and work towards what you have in mind for yourself.
It doesn’t have to be a photo collage it could even be a list or a photo of what you want most. Just change your phone background to that goal and you’ll notice a difference in the way you look at your phone. You’ll want to spend that little extra 30 minutes a day logging on here in your free time to write more blog posts or interact with your websites audience.
Change Your Background
Let me know what you think of this idea, do you like it or think it’s silly? I personally love it because it gives you something to always look at and why would you want to look at something you wouldn’t want to work for.
Give it a try, change your phone screen to your goals and see how it impacts your mindset.
Have an awesome day everyone,
Brandon! :)

Not silly at all. I do this as well and I love it!
Also another thing that I do that I would like to share:
I turn off my social media notifications. It helps me not get distracted.
So that way I don't click on the Facebook notification and start scrolling for an hour after that.
It works and helps me a lot! :)
Hmmm, I love the sound of that advice as well. I'm gonna have to do that. I always get side tracked with those notifications.
Great idea! I use my phone more than any other item I own. To have a reminder that would motivate me every time I pick up my phone would definitely help me stay focused. I love the ideas everyone comes up with!!!
Glad I could help you out! My phone is my most used item I use as well, that’s why I thought about doing this. :)

Very clever idea. I just may try this with my phone, tablet, laptop, desktop and screen saver on Smart TV. Very good idea to help keep focus. Thanks for sharing.
Anytime, I’m glad I could inspire others! :) Everyone gives some great advice here so I thought I’d share some of my own. Keep pushing forward and don’t lose track. With this community the only way to fail is if you give up.
