Divert your mind

Not work but social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook are the reasons why you are more on your mobile. These platforms offer pleasure, entertainment, and relaxation. Try diverting your mind from them by doing other activities like dancing, exercising, and meditation.

Try using physical versions

We now use mobiles for multiple purposes like as an alarm clock or for checking time. Instead, try using their physical versions like the original alarm clock or wristwatch so that your use of the Smartphone is controlled.

Turn off notifications

Make sure that you receive notifications on your social media platforms only from your very close people. Turn off all the other notifications. It will reduce your screen and scrolling time.

Socialize more, take the help of friends

Go back to the old mode of meeting people personally, and spending more time with friends than hanging out with them on chats. Meeting each other physically will make life more interesting and help to beat your Smartphone addiction.
