So I\u2019d check messages on my time instead of being ruled by the little red balloons. I also put the social media apps not on the frontscreen of my phone, but in a folder on the second screen. At night I\u2019d like to leave my phone in the charger in the living room.

If your in bed I put my phone at the foot of my bed on a table so I have to get out of my blankets to shut off my alarm. Through out the day I have my phone on myself like usual but I don\u2019t have notifications turned on so I don\u2019t see a new email or post from Facebook pop I choose when to look at my phone and I usually only due it three times a day before work, lunch, or after work.

So you can keep your phone with you all the time simply but it in vibration move, deactivate notifications, uninstalled  disturbing applications (Facebook, instagram and other craps which are just wasting your precious life time) and use it for what it is: a phone to make phone call and start doing things that truly matters to you! If you think it\u2019s too hard, you can switch for a dumb phone this will help avoiding temptation. Be brave, the withdrawal symptom is only temporary and after few days you\u2019ll really start feeling free from the slavery of this device. Real life is happening all the time right in front of you, just watch and be present to your life, what is happening on the phone is as useless as superficial, it\u2019s for slaves.

If you are wondering where to put it during the day, I suggest somewhere far away from you. You don\u2019t want to lock up your phone, however in case of an emergency. At night, you can put it next to you on your bedside table but if you feel you will be too distracted by it, just power it off. I hope this helps!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tom Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">On the other side of the room on silent with something over the screen to avoid seeing any light. If you use it as an alarm this will either make you get up and out of bed or buy a simple alarm clock that isn\u2019t as enticing. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Glen U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I am working, I will put it on my desk but facing the phone down and putting it behind&#x2F;under something.

Did not disturb means that I won&#39;t get text notifications and I won&#39;t get phone calls. The exception is that if someone calls twice within 3 minutes, it&#39;ll chime through the second time. Then I tell important people that if it&#39;s an emergency and I don&#39;t answer, to call back right away.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Indiara Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I put my phone on do not disturb and put my social media apps further in my phone so it\u2019s not the first thing I see when I open my phone <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Andre X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have been putting it in the spare room next to my bedroom.

Watching the animation of my phone turn off is like a signal to my brain that it\u2019s time for me to relax, and that it\u2019s okay to do so.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kasper Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">for a long time I&#39;ve put my phone next to my bed as an alarm, but I was always tempted to get on my phone before sleeping and after waking up, what helped for me was to buy an alarm (doesn&#39;t have to be expensive \ud83d\ude42 and to put my phone downstairs .. because you don&#39;t need your phone anymore during the night ! this helped allot, it feels weird at the beginning but it worked out so well ! just give it a try \ud83d\ude42 good luck !<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maria F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I normally keep my phone \u201chidden.\u201d By that I mean that  if I\u2019m going to sleep, I keep my phone charging at the other side of my room where I can\u2019t see.

This prevents you from habitually reaching for it before sleep and also makes it harder to repeatedly hit the snooze button. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Margie T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Flipped on the small table that is next to my bed .. so I\u2019ll forget about it and won\u2019t see the notifications light and be carious about it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Inge Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">May be behind you?

You can focus what you are doing now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Carl G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You should leave it right by your side.  Turn on airplane mode (turns off all signals) if you are an internet junkie, &quot;do not disturb&quot; if it&#39;s texts &#x2F; calls or put it on silent. And the radical idea of just shutting it down. Have to wait until it powers up to get into &quot;distractions&quot;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Audrey U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You should put it in a room that you are not sleeping in. This will keep you away from all the temptations. You should also put it in airplane mode or night mode so that the notifications don\u2019t distract you. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Valentina F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You should put your phone wherever you think is safe.

Since I got one I haven\u2019t fallen asleep with my phone in my bed. It\u2019s not like it\u2019s plugged in of a cord and can be anywhere, it has to be on a special spot of the pad. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alex O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">At night I put it on the floor to charge on the other side of the room.

Looking at emails etc when I do this.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sam Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">There\u2019s is no need to put phone away, with do not disturb mode on(do not disturb mode with phone calls of family members excluded, in case they need your help in emergency). And put your phone screen upside down. And observe your behaviour and be mindful regarding your habit of checking your phone and control that urge. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Carter F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\"> Turn your notifications off and your phone. put it somewhere where it\u2019s out of sight.

This way it\u2019s out of sight and i have to actively get out of bed&#x2F;get up from my couch to go get it. I put it there every evening before i start my routine and commit to not looking at it until after breakfast. I\u2019ve noticed that on days where i check my phone a lot sometimes i put it in the same drawer for a while. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nanna Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Anywhere that you can\u2019t reach it, hear it or see it.

With this I put my phone on my dresser across my room. Not only is it away from me to discount before I sleep, but it\u2019s also my alarm and requires me to get out of bed to turn it off. That way I don\u2019t get distracted by it when i\u2019m In bed and it forces me to wake up at the time I wanted.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Madison F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I put my phone in my bag at work all day.

I put mine across my bedroom because it\u2019s my alarm in the morning and it forces me to get out of bed and turn the alarm off. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ethan Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I put my phone across the room, on DND, face down so the light and notifications don\u2019t bother me but if someone needs to get a hold of me then they can<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sam Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">This is a constant battle for me too. Most of the time we need our phones with us, especially for work, family or if we have children, or if we have someone that needs us on call. But what if we\u2019d like to switch off for the day?<\/p>\n<p>If I don\u2019t want any distractions, I put my phone on silent, and leave it by my nightstand, or keep it stashed away in my handbag. My motto with phones is out of sight, out of mind. My no phone day is Sunday. It\u2019s important for me to disconnect and be present more. I find tuning out on Sundays has helped me tune out on other days too, leaving me checking in once or twice a day. It\u2019s liberating to walk away from my phone and be more present in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Side note: I also refuse all incoming app notifications. Especially facebook messenger. Yes you can turn all those off too. Notifications are the worst offenders in keeping us distracted.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sara E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">put it in a drawer with your finger and alerts off. this will prevent you from checking your phone for texts and notifications. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rosie J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Placing my phone upside down on a desk or table helps me focus better on what is around me rather than looking down at it mindlessly for 30 minutes when I could have done something productive.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Storm Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I go to bed I leave my phone in the living room.

So before I go to sleep, I left it in my living room. Get a nice and loud alarm clock to wake u up in the morning. After few days of good sleep, you\u2019ll find yourself wake up easily. Wish u best luck! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ricky E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">To be honest, I keep it next to me because I&#39;m using the Fabulous deep work timer on a daily basis. However, I disabled notifications from all distracting apps so that I can focus on my work, and this has worked well for me! If I really don&#39;t need my phone, I simply leave it in my bag.

You might start by keeping it at a distance that you need to stand up from your bed to grab it.

I also found that putting it away in a drawer to be helpful &#8211; such as if I\u2019m at work.<br \/>\n At bedtime, I would suggest putting in the furthest area in the room where you would have to get out of bed to use it.  You can buy an inexpensive an old school alarm clock for the side of your bed if you currently use your phone as a clock and&#x2F;or alarm.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hans Gerd J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sometimes I find it helps to leave it to charge in a different room- I just keep my charger there so every time it runs out of battery I need to leave it there&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Faruk Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">During the day put the phone somewhere you don\u2019t go often if you are at home, for me thats my bedroom. During the night I have it across the room where i will have to get up in the morning to turn my alarm off so i will wake up on time. Putting it across the room is also helpful to stay off your phone before you sleep so you won\u2019t have the struggle of when to put it down and will sleep sooner than with your phone in arms reach. If you are at work maybe try putting it in your bag so it\u2019s not at your desk.

Sometimes I will set a timer as well for 20-30 min intervals of serious focused work. Then when it goes off I\u2019m forced to get up and move around some. I\u2019ll take a break to do something else productive such as clean up some around the house (about 10 min) before setting a new timer and putting my phone back across the room for more focused work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Frank G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I normally put mine on do not disturb mode and set it on my nightstand. I normally journal to distract myself from it, but if you can\u2019t resist having it in sight, put it in a nightstand drawer or under your bed. I highly recommend the do not disturb mode so you get the least amount of notifications or temptations as possible. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Deodato Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">In a completely different room.

But you could leave it outside your bedroom for instance, as long as it is not reach able for you without moving. In my experience moving is not really what I want when I\u2019m I bed so it\u2019s easier to not look at it. During the day I leave it in my bag so when I\u2019m working I forget about it. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jill O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you\u2019re talking about at night, I  would leave it far away from your bed, like across the room so that you won\u2019t be able to easily access it from where you\u2019re laying  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Baldemar S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Across the room so you won\u2019t be tempted to look at it.  \u201cOut of sight, out of mind.\u201d  Also, you would be too lazy to get up and get it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Abigail J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I need to be focus on doing important things or urgent task, I put my phone away from me so I cannot see any notifications.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Almirodo Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">At bedtime, I leave my phone beside my bed but I turn the volume off and put the setting on \u2018do not disturb \u2018 so that I\u2019m  not distracted by any notifications or the screen lighting up. I leave the phone face down also. However, I do leave it right beside the bed because I have teenagers and I need to periodically check if they have texted when they are out late at night.

For example, you could put it in a high place, where it\u2019s really hard to reach so that when you have the urge to use your phone, you\u2019ll be less likely to use it because you won\u2019t want to go to go through all the effort of getting it.

I travel a lot so I go to a lot of different places and situations and phone always distracts me. So one time I was in my hotel and trying to do work before my meeting, and I didn&#39;t want to get distracted so I put the phone in the closet security locker.
