8 WAYS TO STOP SMARTPHONE ADDICTIONS WITH THESE FOLLOWING STEPS
According to the Research and
Development Unit of Yudala, smartphones have lent hitherto-unimagined
ease and convenience to the increasingly fast-paced world we live in,
such that the boundary of their innovative uses is constantly being
pushed.
For many, smartphone addiction is now an unavoidable
reality, resulting in often dire effects on work, health and human
relationships.
These Includes:
1.QualityTime (Android):
QualityTime offers a unique
and in-depth analysis of your smartphone activities by tracking total
usage, screen unlocks and individual apps with hourly, daily and weekly
summary reporting options. The app provides the ability to curb your
habits by using actionable features allowing you to set your own time
restrictions like ‘alerts’, ‘take a break’ and ‘scheduled breaks’. These
features can help you manage and control your usage when needed. Also,
you can create different QualityTime profiles to customize how you wish
to unplug from your smartphone during “take a break” or “scheduled
breaks” to minimize distractions during those periods. QualityTime
profiles provide options for you to block notifications and reject phone
calls with auto reply text messages. You can also define exceptions to
allow incoming calls from important contacts and permit access to
specific apps during those restricted periods.
2.Offtime (iOS,
Android):
The Offtime app helps users unplug by blocking distracting
apps like Facebook and games, while also filtering communications. It
includes information on how much you actually use your smartphone. You
can choose tailored modes like Work, Family, or Me Time to ensure that
you have access to the things you need, but aren’t distracted by what
you don’t. Analytics of your phone and app usage can be an important
wake-up call, and can help you curb your habits.
3.AppDetox
(Android):
Another useful application for breaking smartphone addiction,
AppDetox can help you get your weakness under control, especially if
you are one of those whose attachment to the smartphone is based on
apps-usage. You can set your own parameters on an app-by-app basis so
you can have access when it is not a disruption. Every time you break
one of your own rules, the app reminds you to put down your phone.
4.Forest
(Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Chrome, Firefox):
Forest is a simple app
that rewards you for not touching it. When you want to focus, open the
app to plant a tree. If you want that tree to grow, don’t touch your
phone for the next 30 minutes. That’s it. The mobile version encourages
you to leave the app open, while the browser version gives you more
flexibility: it encourages you to not browse sites from a block list you
set for yourself. If you find yourself opening your Facebook, Twitter
or Instagram tabs when you should be working, Forest is the right app
for you.
5.Moment (iOS):
Moment tracks your device usage and
allows you to set daily limits. The beauty of the app is that it
notifies you if you exceed them. You can even use a setting that
“forces” you off your phone by flooding your screen with annoying alerts
when you try to extend your screen time. Moment can also be used for
families, with the option to track your family’s device use from your
own phone.
6.BreakFree (iOS, Android):
BreakFree incorporates the
usage tracking features found in many similar apps, but it differs in
that it breaks down the information into an easy-to-understand
“addiction score.” It also shows you how often you unlock your phone
screen, and comprehensively logs your usage for the day. This system
makes it a great choice for those who like to set goals and challenge
themselves. Ironically, it may also get you addicted to trying to see
how low you can get your addiction score.
7.Flipd (Android):
If
you lack the focus or self-discipline to keep the phone away when you’re
trying to get some work done, Flipd is the app for you. Flipd allows
you to lock your phone for a set period of time, and once you do,
there’s no going back. Even restarting your phone won’t disable the app,
so it is almost impossible for you to cut corners. Flipd can even be
used to remotely “flip off” one user from another user’s device, which
is helpful for teams that want to keep one another focused on a task.
8.Stay
on Task (Android):
Stay on Task is an equally useful app which helps
keep you away from your distracting smartphone in a gentler way. The app
simply asks if you’re still on task at random intervals during the day.
If you are easily distracted, Stay on Task can help you overcome this
weakness by redirecting your focus when your mind is wandering.
