This is a continuation of my previous post. I scrambled through many websites, got tips from my sister and a few of my friends and came out with some tricks to outsmart my Smart Phone.
Keep your Mobile Phone as far away from you as possible -
I keep the mobile in the next room or on a different floor. that is far from where I sit to work.
It should be as far as possible from your reach. I've kept it closed in cupboards.
For charging the mobile, there is a charging station which is not in the same room where I work.
Disable all the Notifications - The notifications from social media apps WhatsApp, Facebook, Quora and other apps distracted me a lot and I would reach out to my mobile phone every time there was a "tun!"
I Signed out of all the apps after use and I had to re-login to access them which is not easy every time and that helped me to reduce the smartphone usage! Unfortunately, WhatsApp does not have a log-out feature so it is still a distracting App.
Single Channel of communication - I uninstalled all the redundant apps like FB messenger, Telegram and retain only WhatsApp as a way of communication.
I also removed all the shortcuts for the social media apps. Some one suggested that place the phone reverse on the table. I tried it but did not work for me much!
