1. Turn off notifications.
Many people get distracted by the endless notifications they receive from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Spotify, and other apps.
You don’t need to know right away if someone “likes” your status update, follows you on Instagram, or sends you an email.
The more often you check your phone, the more it becomes an ingrained habit. So turn off notifications, and you’ll feel less compelled to use your phone.
The only apps for which you don’t turn off notifications might be your text messaging app and your calendar app. This is because sometimes you’re urgently waiting for a text, or your calendar app notifications keep you on schedule.
2. When you feel the urge to check your phone, close your eyes and take a deep breath.
You’re reading a set of notes or writing a report. All of a sudden, you feel an overwhelming urge to take out your phone and check your Facebook news feed.
You give in to the urge. You look through your friend’s latest vacation photos and comment on three of them. Next, you read a long article about the hidden lives of supermodels. Then you watch one cat video and one baby video.
Before you know it, 20 minutes have passed – when you only intended to take a 3-minute break.
Sound familiar?
The urge to check your phone comes in waves. If you hold out for just a few seconds, the urge will pass. You can then get back to work.
Here’s what I recommend: When you feel like you just have to check your phone, close your eyes and take a deep breath. Inhale for three seconds, and exhale for three seconds. The urge will usually disappear.
If the urge is still there, take another deep breath. You should then have the willpower to return to your original task.
This is a simple but powerful technique to help you break your smartphone addiction.
3. Delete all the social media apps on your phone.
This sounds like a drastic measure, but it isn’t. You’ll still be able to access social media sites through your phone’s Internet browser.
YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have mobile-friendly websites. Sure, the mobile web experience isn’t as seamless as the app experience. But it’s good enough to satisfy your occasional social media craving.
Plus, the extra step of opening your Internet browser app and typing in the site’s URL adds inconvenience to the process. This will deter you from mindlessly checking your social media updates.
I challenge you to go one step further: Delete every single game on your phone.
I did this four years ago, and I’ve become a much more productive person as a result.
4. Delete all the apps you don’t use.
This will help you remove the clutter from your phone, and reduce the time you spend “exploring” your apps. As such, you’ll be that much closer to overcoming your smartphone addiction.
Deleting your unused – or little-used – apps also frees up storage space, and improves your phone’s battery life and performance.
