5 Effective Ways To Break Your Phone Addiction by Yarnvibes(f): 5:31am On May 10, 2017
An addition is basically when a thing begins to control your life and interferes with your daily activities, work and relationships. When your phone starts to do that to you, it has become an addiction you need to immediately break. Jumia Travel , the leading online travel agency, shares 5 effective ways to break a phone addiction.

The First Few Minutes of Your Day
The first way to break a phone addiction is to dedicate the first 10 to 30 minutes of your day, at least, to planning and creating a good start to your day, rather than unlocking your phone to browse various internet or social media platforms.

Create No-Phone Periods
You have to be strict with this one because this can significantly decrease your productivity and efficiency once you are unable to carry it out. If you find yourself constantly being distracted by your phone, it is necessary to create a no-phone period, where for a specific number of minutes or hours you close off your phone and stay completely dedicated to your work.

Don’t Lose Sleep Over Your Phone
Set limits. You should never allow your phone deprive you of your sleep. Be disciplined and set limits. The moment you stop putting energy into caring for your basic needs and start putting all your time and energy into your phone, you are allowing your phone dictate your health and well-being. Please stop that, your phone is not worth your health.

Customize Your Notifications
The fact is the lesser notifications you receive, the less likely you are to get distracted by your smartphone and constantly check your smartphone. Therefore, customize your smartphone notifications by turning off notifications for the apps that distract you the most.

Work on Building Real Life Relationships
Rather than spending hours building virtual relationships, try to get real and work to develop real world relationships.

Real world relationships are more physically and emotionally gratifying than virtual relationships, so try to move your relationships with people from your phone to a real world platform.

Instead of chatting, try to meet up somewhere next time (but be careful with this however and take this step with people you are without a doubt sure you can trust. The key word here is ‘without a doubt’.)

Re: 5 Effective Ways To Break Your Phone Addiction by badbreathcure101: 7:33am On May 10, 2017
Phone addiction is not such a bad thing...just because Nigeria has no light doesn't mean carrying your phone up and down for charging means you are an addict....

Virtually anything can be done on the phone, to do things physically is to give yourself more stress

So you want me to travel abroad when i can view anything and everything on my phone??

Or you want me to drive hours just to say hi to someone when i can just put him/her on chat??


I am not understanding ooo.

i use two phones and i feel it's not even enough due to epileptic power supply,

If it isn't for business purpose, then you are missing it.

While not be our marketer, then get value for your time spent online

Humans are evolving in technology, so phone addiction is normal, it is a sign we're embrassing technology.

Making use of phone really exposed me to a lot of things than what our fathers and mothers didn't know during their days.
