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. Here are 5 effective ways to break a phone addiction.
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’.)
