战胜电子干扰，保持学习专注力

Over three and a half hours each day spent staring at my phone screen? And of that time, almost two hours were spent using social networking? I kept telling myself that couldn’t be right. Yet, the numbers were undeniable. What astonished me the most was how it didn’t seem like I was spending that much time on my phone. Perhaps some of you reading this also feel the same? So, this week’s blog will help you cut down on your phone/screen time, which will in turn hopefully enable you to be more focused when studying!

Set restrictions

Are you someone who manages to spend hours on Douyin or Little Red Book before starting any of your homework? Or perhaps you’re slightly addicted to the games on your phone? If so, why not limit yourself to 1 hour (or even less!) of these activities a day. When you only have 1 minute left for the phone, prepare to log out of all social media/gaming apps.

Schedule downtime

There is an option to schedule “Downtime” away from your phone. During this time, only limited apps (ones that you choose to allow) and phone calls will be available. As a student, you can try scheduling this for the time that you complete your homework after school. This will be an effective way to get rid of those distracting apps, and hopefully you’ll be much more focused on your studying!

Turn off notifications

This option is for those of you who are instantly distracted whenever a new notification pops up on your screen! When this is turned on, all calls and notifications are silenced; your phone won’t vibrate, and your screen won’t light up when your phone is locked. Another option you could try is to simply put your phone on Airplane Mode when you want to focus on studying. Again, this will get rid of any notifications that are often so distracting.
