This Ritual Will Change How You Think About Your Phone
Turning on airplane mode on your smartphone for half a day has incredible results.
Chris Bailey believes he’s come up with the best, most badass smartphone ritual ever.
Are you ready for it?
Here it is:
Put your smartphone into airplane mode from 8 pm to 8 am.
His words:
“You might need to adjust the ritual to fit your schedule, but I think 12 hours is the perfect amount of time to shut your phone off every day. In my case, it’s 1.5 hours before I go to sleep (9:30 pm), and 2.5 hours after I wake up (5:30 am).”
And here‘s another killer phone habit:
When you’re having a coffee or eating a meal with someone, shut your phone completely off. Just do it.
If you’re anything like Chris, you’ll be antsy for a week or so while your mind adjusts to being disconnected in the mornings and evenings, but he believes the benefits are well worth the effort.
The best way to stay focused on what's important on your phone is to get an app like AppBlock. You can set up schedules for what and when will be blocked/allowed. So for me, that was a game-changer!
I permanently leave my phone in Fo Not Disturb. Close family in Emergency Contacts are the only ones who get through. Others straight to voicemail, or no notification if text
