While I don\u2019t have any magical suggestions for reducing temptation, what works for me is to simply put it on the charger in another room, sometimes on silent mode, and do something else: play with my dogs, get some household stuff done, make to-do lists, etc. Out of sight, out of mind.  At the times I\u2019d normally pick it up out of habit, such as when I\u2019m in a doctor\u2019s office waiting room, I have a good book or magazine on hand. I\u2019m still struggling with just allowing myself to \u201cbe,\u201d rather than constantly needing a distraction (like my phone!) but after 4 months, I honestly don\u2019t even miss social media. In fact, life is a LOT less stressful without it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jordan U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">My engaging your mind in other things make you forget about the social world . Choose the habits that you have interest in like painting and crafting or something that makes you forget time .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Matt Matt Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">What i do is i put my phones on my dresser behind my television. I also put a  bandana over them so I can&#8217;t see them. I also put them on vibrate right<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Paula F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Set a reminder to stick the device on the charger, then grab a tea and a book and sit in your favourite chair for a 10-minute or longer read: think of this as treat time \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Levi U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Use app timers and app restrictions, soymhst evn if you get on the device ,you wont be able to use it. Also stay in a diferent room from your device so that accessing it is a hassle<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elbert F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Me personally i put time limits on my device or download a dumbphone app. I also like to keep track of how responsible I used my device on that day  in my journal. But my technique is still not perfect try it out.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jahnavi Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I might be a child, but I know some ways to get this goal achieved. Just think about a benefit that will be better than the fun you will get from the device. Then keep it away from your side.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bren N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Lock it away, on a timer.<br \/>\nLet it go flat and don&#8217;t charge it until you have reached your goals for the day.<br \/>\nGive it to a friend to look after until a certain time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Violet U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The way I stop myself from being on my phone is not having my phone near me. My watch is connected to my phone so any calls or messages will still be received but my phone is put away on the desk in my room so I\u2019m not so easily distracted with it. Out of site, out of mind. This has pros and cons. But for me, the pros out way the cons.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Adam A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">To remove temptation, we need consistency. Temptation is at its highest when we want to start at the goal, then it gets weaker. But we always have to be ready, because temptation may spike up on some days<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Shivam X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">1. Use a long password, it will make it difficult for you to open it again and again and so your brain will automatically prevent it<br \/>\n2. Remove or set time limits on apps that makes you feel the temptation to open the device, for eg. Instagram, YouTube<br \/>\n3. Turn off notifications, they have a great contribution in making you open a certain app<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Brittany I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Keeping them out of reach is a great start! Using an app that limits your access to the apps you find most distracting an hour before bed time will get you into the hang of not being on them right before bed. Keep a pen and notepad within reach so anything urgent you think of can be jotted down and done in the morning without needing to put it in your phone where you can get distracted. Commit to yourself! Promise yourself you&#8217;ll do it, just for a few days to see how it works out for you. You got this!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Christopher J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Finding something to do is a huge help. Whether that be tackling a few household chores, working on a hobby or project, maybe a little self care. The options are endless. The main thing is doing something that matters to you or makes you feel good during or after. Try something new! Whether you succeed at that or not doesnt really matter. You tried! So instead of getting on ur phone, get involved with your own life again and get back to your hold hobbies or try a new one.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jaymi Y.
