In modern life, mobile phones have become an important part of work and life. The first thing you pick up when you open your eyes in the morning is your mobile phone, and the last thing you put down before going to bed at night is your mobile phone. In addition to rest time, many people also secretly use their mobile phones while working, which seriously affects work efficiency. How can I break this bad habit?
I think that to stop bad habits is to destroy the chain and cut off the connections between the elements. There are three specific methods:
1. Turn off push
Some notifications will pop up on your phone from time to time. You may think they are too inconspicuous and you don’t need to pay attention to them. But assuming that it rings 10 times a day, interrupting your originally focused work state, it takes an average of 15 minutes to recover from each interruption. 10*15 is 150 minutes of transit time. Therefore, you need to be ruthless and turn off all irrelevant push notifications on your phone. If you really don't want to turn it off, you can also set it to turn off the push message sound on your phone.
2. Turn the screen upside down
After turning off mobile push notifications, if you can still see the phone out of the corner of your eye, you will easily be attracted by the flashing screen.
At this time, if you place the mobile phone screen upside down on the table, you can avoid seeing the bright light of the mobile phone screen. There will be less temptation, and naturally you will spend less time touching the mobile phone. Even if your eyes are on the phone, because the screen is facing down, the phone uses its body language to hint to you "Don't touch me!"
3. Put it in the drawer
If you are cruel enough to yourself , you can also put your phone directly in the drawer to isolate it more completely. If there are several drawers around you, put them in the farthest one to make it more difficult to get your phone. In this way, you won't be half-working and it will be easy to get it when you think of it.
The above three "imperial edicts" can be effective, provided that you do not have QQ and WeChat on your computer when you are working. Otherwise, it will be like tearing down a wall here and building up a wall there, and it will never end.
These three methods are given to you, you can try them right now. Simple, effective and quick!
