With regards to the lessons from the 2020 pandemic, the new normal has taught the world to seek comfort in the practice of working from home. Working remotely has continued to rapidly gather significant attention amongst employees around the world. In a new report, remote working has been identified to be more productive than actually working in an office. While it is so easy to get distracted and procrastinate in the course of working remotely, this can relatively slow down productivity compared to those working in the office.

In an interview conducted by Market Business, on employees that work remotely, half the number of those interviewed highlighted their phones as the biggest distractions. Does this sound like something peculiar to you? Then this article is just for you, in here we will discuss 6 features available on the Samsung phone that can help you become more productive as you continue to work from home.

Focus Mode

First on the list is the Focus Mode, I bet a lot of people don’t know these features exist. This feature is one that once activated, apps on your Samsung device are temporarily paused thereby reducing your chances of being distracted. In that feature, only the apps a user has identified as most distracting will be greyed out. Such apps will be unaccesible for the time set for focus hours.  In a case where there is a need for any of the greyed-out apps during the time set as focus hour, you can reactivate them at the tap of a button. The feature also presents the “take a break” option, which is one that allows a user to disable Focus Mode temporarily. For most Samsung smartphones, you’ll find the Focus Mode feature right in the default drop-down located at the top of your mobile device. Oncee you locate the feature, you can set it up right with a tap and thats it.

Do Not Disturb mode

Second, on the list is the “Do Not Disturb Mode” avaiable at the defaault drop down located at the top of your mobile device too. Of course phone calls and text messages can be distracting and can distrubpt a signicicant amount of your working hours. Enabling the “Do not Disturb” feature will ensure that every unimportant notification on your mobile automatically arrives silently. The feature allows you to customize your settings in a way that determines which notifications count as important and which ones don’t, this includes text messages, phone calls, all notifications, and alerts. This feature allows hiding of your phone’s status bar icon, notification badge, and more.
