Strategies to Overcome Smartphone Addiction:


    • Make a smartphone-free zone:
                                                                   Choose a comfortable room for your work in your home where sunlight comes and lights the whole house. Remove maximum electronics from the room. This room is only for your intense focus work. Never enter the room with a smartphone. Even don't allow anyone in this room with a smartphone.


  •      Make a particular place for your Smartphone:                                              
                                                                                              We see many many people Who always keep phones with them even when they do not use them. They keep phones with them at the time of their study, eating, sleeping, etc. So don't make this mistake. Make a particular place for your smartphone and when it is time to use it go there.

  • Avoid chatting:
                             My team is against text chatting. According to them, this is the main reason for the smartphone addiction of teenagers. In today's advanced life, every younger uses text chatting to talk with their friends. If you want to talk to your friend then call him and talk. Because what you can say in two minutes by calling, it takes you more than 10 minutes to say by chatting.


  • Turn off unnecessary notifications:
                                                           The sound of Notifications can easily destroy your concentration while you are working. So turn off all unnecessary notifications on your smartphone.

  • Uninstall all unimportant apps:
                                                         Most people spend their time on phones by scrolling social media or playing games. So uninstall all the games and useless apps from your phone and use the time to collect your work-related knowledge.

Conclusion

        Disable unnecessary notifications and create tech-free zones at home. Practice mindfulness to resist the urge to constantly check your phone. Seek support from family and friends, and consider using apps or tools to track and limit screen time take small steps each day toward a healthier relationship with your smartphone.
