How wearing a watch changed the game

Style. Consciousness. Precision. Watchy.

It´s not just about the style, is about the way you can carry on with that style.

Wearing a watch has been one of the most impactful actions I´ve done in a while, redefining my relationship with work, creativity, vision, and overall life balance.

Watches have been with us for so long. In the beginning, they simply meant a means for knowing time, a simple prompt that could lead us to act towards something given certain moments.

Now, these watches have the ability to not just indicate time, but also make us act with it. Smartwatches are more than just an accessory now, they´ve become a useful tool, far more useful than they intended to be.

Time has never been more “available” to us, and it also has never been more insignificant.

What I mean by this is that we no longer use our watches for merely knowing the time, it doesn´t feel good to do so anymore. In fact, I would rather say it´s far more present the idea of time located on the screen of our phones than of our watches.

Smartwatches are a huge advantage if used correctly, just as every tech item we´ve created. And they can become our allies again. Not just a tool, not just an accessory. They have the potential to become our guide.

Above Ordinary

The magic of putting a piece of metal and electronics around your wrist every single day is just amazingly simple but highly effective. It doesn´t matter really if we are talking about a “normal” watch or a smart one. The trick can have the same effect.

The moment you feel its weight on your wrist, a signal starts moving throughout your body, and a somehow known urge to act starts scaling up. It´s the cue that starts your work process.

As simple as it sounds, your productivity can be leveled up by this petite action. But let me remind you, it´s not magical, it can feel like magic, but you do need to visualize it.

You need to start feeling the greatness of using it, the value of productivity it can deliver, and overall, you need to start crafting that desire to achieve more when your watch mode is on.

The Perks

Productivity enhanced
Clarity at work
The rise of commitment
Keeps you focused
Shapes your behavior
Helps you transform your laziness into actions.
Keeps you present.
Makes you look attractive, doesn´t it?

Now, if we are talking about the usage of smartwatches, well, it´s not a big surprise that the effects can be doubled up.

For starters, certain crucial actions, such as voice memos when an idea comes into mind, the rapid catch-up on important messages that otherwise we might miss, the little “fitness coach” always there to remind us we should be activating ourselves; they are all there, ready to be launched, simply by us doing some clicks on our watch.

We can be able to turn these magnificent inventions into more than just deviations, they can be our trusted allies if used correctly. So, will you join the “watchy” movement, let me know fam.
