Set timer

Let's guess you are a student. You are having a lack of time, energy, and attention in your study. Here's what you can do. Different surveys show that a human brain can actively engage in a particular task for only about 40-50 minutes. But, let's decrease the amount to 30 minutes only. Now grab your phone and set a timer for 30 minutes. Create a mindset that you will solely engage yourself in your task for the next 30 minutes: no distraction, no other task. However, you can have a 5-10 minutes break when the timer rings. And then again, you are ready to go.

Follow online course

For example, you cannot leave your phone even for a second. So why not accomplish your goal by using your phone? You won't have to leave your phone at all. Go to your internet browser. Search for online courses and follow those. You can follow courses on CA, CS & CMA here: edugyan.org

Follow educational websites

Some websites create educational content. You can follow those sites to have an upper hand over your friends and colleagues. You can also share those contents with your friends. That will also help them get motivated. Here is a suggested website for you: Edugyan Smarteach

Watch motivational videos

You will get so many motivational videos on YouTube and other websites. Get yourself motivated and walk through success.

Create to-do lists

All of the smartphones come with a to-do list facility. To clarify, they are built-in apps in some phones and a part of the calendar in others. Create a to-do list. Keep your tasks short and meaningful. It will help you organize your tasks all day long and save you time.

Limit your friends and communication time

A big portion of our mobile phone usage goes to social media platforms. Try limiting your network. Have a few friends only. Be brief while chatting or sharing content. Consequently, it will save some time. It will also help you reclaim your energy and attention.

Limit your feeds and followings

Don't follow too many channels or pages. Keep your feed short. Because, the longer your feed is, the more you will spend your time scrolling down. Follow educational pages and channels instead. It will assist you to advance a few knowledge.

Give up on news

When you start to follow the news, it will take you to another, wasting time. But as you will see, all of the news feeds are almost the same. Follow only one, you will get what you need to know.

Daily habits

The overuse of mobile phones will lead you to bad daily habits. Don't grab your phone before going to sleep. It will kill your time, leaving no time for sleeping. Subsequently, the next day you will feel sleepy all day and won't be able to get the best result.

Stress management

Stress impacts directly on your health and energy level. You can have good use of your phone to relieve stress. For instance, listening to music is a great option to relieve stress. Your phone can help you with that.

Sleep and diet

The main and foremost effect of overusing mobile phone is on sleep and diet. As mentioned earlier, using your phone at the bed will disturb your sleeping time. A sound sleep is a must to have sound health. Surveys show that people who overuse digital devices are more prone to be obese. So, follow two simple rules- don't use the phone at the bed and don't scroll it at your meal.

Spend your time where it is valued. Don't just pick your phone whenever you get an opportunity. Spend your free time with your family. Do exercise. Watch some motivational videos. To sum up, use your phone wisely and make your life better.
