These days being alone is imprisonment.

Digital devices control you. You are ruled by FOMO, and then social media usage skyrockets.

Being productive is the last thing you want to do when you’re by yourself.

I would get antsy and restless and find myself constantly reaching for my phone or looking for things to do.

When I viewed being alone as an opportunity instead of a punishment, life became better.

It took a lot of trial and error to figure out what works best.

Slowly but surely, I built tiny habits that made me productive even when no one else was around.

But, the question persists — why would you work when you’re alone?

This is what I experienced:

  • You build immense willpower.
  • Your self-esteem touches the sky.
  • Your self-belief becomes unshakeable.
  • Your concentration levels increase.
  • Your life feels more in control.
