Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

To decrease phone usage during important tasks like cleaning or working, start by setting specific time blocks for these activities. Use the 'Do Not Disturb' feature to minimize distractions. Create a ritual before starting your task, such as a quick stretch or deep breathing, to enhance focus. Gradually build your attention span by practicing mindfulness and setting small, achievable goals. These strategies will help improve your time management and foster a clean, tidy environment.

I usually play music so thats not entirely reducing my phone usage. Other times I turn my phone off and use my watch for the time

I usually put my phone on silent and/or in my pocket or room. I focus on kitchen first. Let’s face it that’s usually the worst yet best place to start cleaning especially when you have kids. I mentally tell myself I have 15 minutes for tidying up
