In our day and age, we are ruled by our phones.

We use them for everything: calls and text, social media, messenger apps, email, payments, etc.

But it comes at a cost: your attention, time, and focus.

Here are 10 simple rules to make sure you are using your phone (and not the other way around):

1. Stop checking your phone in the car

2. Stop checking your phone during TV commercials

3. Keep your phone across the room when you aren‘t using it

4. Turn off all notifications

5. Choose an endpoint for each random surfing session

6. Stop checking your phone while waiting in line

7. Create a framework for your day with buffers at the beginning and end of it

8. Put your phone away after posting something on social media

9. Stop repeating the cycle of checking things

10. Recognize it’s a work in progress

The ones that got me the most results?

#4 and #9.

Notifications keep sucking you back into your phone and once you realize that you are doing a loop at checking things - messenger apps, email, websites - you start using your phone with more intention.

Try these.

Your focus will thank you.
