However, it can also be a valuable tool for staying in touch with people, listening to music, capturing photos, or navigating. <strong>Maximize your phone\u2019s use as a tool and reduce phone distractions by first rearranging your apps and then adjusting their settings.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Sort Your Apps&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Look through the apps on your phone and assess each honestly: Does it benefit <em>you<\/em> or do you benefit <em>it<\/em>? Based on your answer, take one of three actions:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Remove:<\/strong> Delete unused apps and apps that don\u2019t benefit you or don\u2019t align with your values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>For example, you might keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-meditation-mindfulness\/\">mindfulness<\/a> app but delete a news app that always makes you feel stressed out.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Change:<\/strong> Some apps <em>can<\/em> be used for traction, but they show up in your life as distractions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>For example, you may use social media to stay in touch with friends and promote your business, but you also check it when you\u2019re with family, at work, or driving.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For these apps, <em>change<\/em> where you use them\u2014that is, delete them from your phone and use them exclusively on your computer. When you\u2019re unable to access these apps anytime and anywhere, you\u2019re more likely to use them only during their timebox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Rearrange:<\/strong> At this stage, your phone will have only traction-supporting apps\u2014but even these can be distracting visual cues on a cluttered home screen. Avoid this by making your home screen as minimalist as possible, organizing your apps into three categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tools: Apps in this category help you with everyday tasks\u2014it might include maps, your calendar, Uber, and so on.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Goals: Apps in this category help you with things you\u2019d like to spend your time doing, such as mindfulness, exercise, or audiobooks.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Everything else: Your tools and goals apps should be the only ones on your home screen. Everything else can be organized into folders on the secondary screen. For example, you may have a \u201cCommunication\u201d folder that contains your email, messenger, and WhatsApp.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Go Notification-Free&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second part of diminishing your phone\u2019s distractions is cutting out the temptation to look at it in the first place. Most people look at their phones when they receive a notification because it grabs their attention with a ding, vibration, or lit-up screen. <strong>By disabling notifications, you eliminate these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/external-trigger-vs-internal-trigger\/\">external triggers<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timebox 30 minutes in your schedule to readjust your app settings\u2014be sure to pay attention to both the <em>audio <\/em>and <em>visual<\/em> settings, as both can interrupt your focus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Audio notifications are especially distracting because they can grab your attention even if your phone is face down or in another room.<\/strong> Think about which of these apps <em>truly<\/em> needs your attention at any moment, depending on your life and work. For example, a student may keep sound activated <em>only<\/em> for phone calls, but a small business owner might keep her email sound activated so she can immediately check incoming orders.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Visual notifications only work when you can see your phone, but you can adjust how prominent they are. <\/strong>You may set your essential apps to light up your home screen when notifications come in and adjust your less important apps to only display a small red bubble when there are notifications to check.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you easily distracted by your cell phone?
