Silence non-essential app alerts. Constant pings fragment your attention and increase stress. Keep only what’s necessary, like calls or reminders that truly matter.
Create tech-free zones during study, meals, or bedtime. It helps your brain unwind and boosts concentration when you return to work.
Enable “Focus” or “Do Not Disturb” modes while working. They block distractions and help you stay in the zone without constant phone checks.
Keep only essential apps visible. A clean layout reduces temptation to scroll aimlessly and makes your phone a tool, not a trap.
Monitor your daily usage with built-in screen time tools. Awareness is the first step toward cutting back and using your phone mindfully.
Don’t start your day on your phone. Replace it with journaling, stretching, or a calm breakfast to set a focused tone for the day.

Take regular breaks from screens, whether for a day or a few hours. It resets your brain and improves your overall mental clarity.
