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. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares five 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’.)
