Find out how not to get distracted by your phone while at work, and the steps you can take in putting your mobile device away
Let’s be honest, if there is one thing that distracts us all, it is our phones. But while tapping away on our mobile devices may seem harmless, a quick swipe on TikTok and being engrossed on your phone could be the difference between a productive day and getting lost in an algorithm of distracting dancing videos.
Follow these tips to help you stay away from the temptations and distractions of your phone and to keep your mind and attention focused on your job and the tasks at hand.
Put your phone on silent mode and place it in a safe and secure place
We know many of us keep our phones in our pockets and are permanently attached to them, even at work. But the simple way to not get distracted by our phones is to not have them on us at all.
It’s most likely that the place where you work has a safe room, either an office that can be locked or even secure lockers. Either way, it’s best to have your phone vibrating away in storage rather than buzzing away in your back pocket.
Turn off your internet access
A simple yet efficient hack is to simply turn on aeroplane mode and instantly turn off your Wi-Fi access. A phone without internet is less likely to distract you, and on the plus side, using aeroplane mode reduces the amount of battery your phone uses.
Handy if you don’t have a charger on standby.
Just say no to notifications
Are you finding notifications simply too hard to resist? Well, simply turn off your notifications. A new comment and a bunch of new likes on social media are the kind of validation that we all crave and desire.
So, turn off those notifications and get on with your job!
Just turn off your phone
Probably the most productive way to stop you from getting distracted by your phone is to simply turn it off. Yes, we know, perish the thought of a phone switched off!
However, if you simply cannot live without your phone, then we have the latest mobile phones for you to get distracted with.
