Smartphones have come a long way since the days of playing Snake on a Nokia phone. Thanks to the roll out of 4G and soon to be 5G technology across many parts of the globe, the rate at which we can connect to services has greatly improved. This has meant the possibilities of what we can do with a smartphone have become almost endless.

In fact, today's smartphones aren't really like phones at all. With advanced camera lenses for taking high quality pictures, smart assistants for organising our lives and even built-in flashlights, the modern smartphone can do just about anything.

Practice some healthy habits

Writing a diary or journal entry: Writing a diary or journal entry is a good way to practice mindfulness, reflect on your emotions and process the events of the day. Some of the best journal apps include Day One, Diarium, Five Minute Journal and Dabble.

Organise your apps


We can end up acquiring a lot of apps over time, making our screens messy and cluttered, using up a lot of space on our phones, and making it difficult to find anything quickly. If you've got some time to kill then why not organize your apps into different folders. Some of the ways you can organise them include by alphabetical order, by category, by colour code, in emoji folders or in themed rows. It can be a tedious job but you'll be glad once you've done it as it will make your phone so much easier to use.

Clear out your email inbox


Been putting off sorting out your inbox? We've all done it. And now you probably have a stack of either unread or opened emails that you need to face. Now's the time to get it done. If you're using the mail apps on your smartphone device, this will make it easier to navigate through the mailbox.

There should be a function where you can mass select emails you don't need and delete them all. Another tedious task, but you'll be grateful when it's done.

Overall, there's so much you can do on today's smartphones. From playing the latest games, to organising your life, practicing a healthy habit or learning a new skill. Many of us would be lost without them.
