I don't know a single person who doesn't wish that they spent less time on their phone. Here's 5 strategies for controlling your phone use...
-
1. Sleep with your phone outside of your bedroom.
If you only do one thing, make it this. Instant 10% increase in quality of life.
Stop ruining tomorrow before tomorrow has even begun by having your phone next to your bed.
Move the charger now; single decision, many benefits.
-
2. Never use your phone in a parked car.
You rush through traffic to get to the gym, only to sit and look at your phone for 10 minutes before you get out.
Use the trigger of parking up to put your phone away and save yourself time.
-
3. Have a phone-free morning routine.
Begin your day proactively, not reactively. The longer you don't touch your phone on a morning, the more productive you will be.
Intermittent fasting works because it's easy to follow, so is this.
-
4. Only use social media standing up.
You're more likely to stay on your phone when you're sedentary and comfortable on a couch or in bed.
Create some behavioural friction by only using social media if you're standing up.
-
5. Log out of social media apps after you use them.
You usually don't NEED to use social media, you're just doing it habitually. Add in some digital friction and it'll force you to think "do I REALLY need to use this?"
More often than not - you find out that the answer is no.
