This way, I have to get up to switch it off, but I also go to bed without distractions from my phone<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Severino T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think about all the things I\u2019ll miss with my eyes and my mind glued to the phone. I tell myself that life is happening around me and not on my phone. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Doris F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s kinda hard, but I\u2019m trying as hard as it is for me. I used to use my phone before I go to sleep so now I keep my phone on my desk instead of night-shelf. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mathis A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think, I\u2019m the beginning, we\u2019re motivated, but that burns out fairly quickly. What we must work with is discipline, which is doing what\u2019s maybe not so much fun, but more a necessity to reach a goal. Additionally, it\u2019s important to find something that\u2019s fun! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Livio Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to put it away in a separate room before my evening routine. Sometimes it doesn\u2019t work though as I get caught up on the internet &#8211; a bit like today. Good luck. HTH. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Martina E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have a book to read by my bed, and I put my phone in my living room for the night. I now use a regular alarm clock instead of using my alarm clock on my phone to wake up in the morning. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tanya R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">There\u2019s this tool on iPhones where is has a down time. Basically, you can only use your phone during a certain amount of time. So for me I can use it from 7 am to 10 pm. That gives me time to do what I have to do and to take time for myself without any distractions <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Louison Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It takes really wanting to do it. I meditate and practice mindfulness regularly. When it\u2019s time to put down the phone I let myself become aware of my feelings around my phone. Mindless social media scrolling doesn\u2019t actually feel good when I pay attention to it. The social comparisons are stressful, the exposure to tragic current events makes me feel helpless and defeated. My phone is an outstanding tool, but I try to make myself aware of how the tool can be misused and this motivates me to charge it in a different room and just be in my house. Tidy up, read a book, do my skincare routine, write in a journal. Generally replacing phone time with other activity. Anything on your phone can wait for tomorrow <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melinda F.
