An
addition is basically when a thing begins to control your life and
interferes with your daily activities, work and relationships. When your
phone starts to do that to you, it has become an addiction you need to
immediately break.
The First Few Minutes of Your Day
The
first way to break a phone addiction is to dedicate the first 10 to 30
minutes of your day, at least, to planning and creating a good start to
your day, rather than unlocking your phone to browse various internet or
social media platforms.
Create No-Phone Periods
You
have to be strict with this one because this can significantly decrease
your productivity and efficiency once you are unable to carry it out.
If you find yourself constantly being distracted by your phone, it is
necessary to create a no-phone period, where for a specific number of
minutes or hours you close off your phone and stay completely dedicated
to your work.
Don’t Lose Sleep Over Your Phone
Set
limits. You should never allow your phone deprive you of your sleep. Be
disciplined and set limits. The moment you stop putting energy into
caring for your basic needs and start putting all your time and energy
into your phone, you are allowing your phone dictate your health and
well-being. Please stop that, your phone is not worth your health.
Customize Your Notifications
The
fact is the lesser notifications you receive, the less likely you are
to get distracted by your smartphone and constantly check your
smartphone. Therefore, customize your smartphone notifications by
turning off notifications for the apps that distract you the most.
Work on Building Real Life Relationships
Rather
than spending hours building virtual relationships, try to get real and
work to develop real world relationships. Real world relationships are
more physically and emotionally gratifying than virtual relationships,
so try to move your relationships with people from your phone to a real
world platform. Instead of chatting, try to meet up somewhere next time
(but be careful with this however and take this step with people you are
without a doubt sure you can trust. The key word here is ‘without a
doubt’.)
