as such, even if it may be difficult.
Suggestions to decrease the use of mobiles.
Keep the cell phone on silent
Try to leave the smartphone in silent mode so that the notification sounds
(increasingly frequent) do not take your attention away.
Avoid games and social networks
Taking a few minutes of rest to recharge your energy and recover your spirits is
important. In this sense, the smartphone can help you, but be very careful: games
and social networks can end up stealing all your attention.
Set aside a few minutes to exchange messages and check your email
Turn off distracting notifications
Even with your phone, notifications still appear on your screen and that's where your
concentration goes. Even if you don't see the smartphone prompt, those little
inattentive moments add up at the end of the day. Not to mention that, with each
new notification, the temptation to take a look at the cell phone grows.

Establish a healthy usage routine (even if it's hard)


Put all these tips together and establish a healthy routine with your smartphone at
work. Reserve small moments of rest to check the networks during the day, get used
to turning off notifications and leaving the device on silent.

Conclusion

Mobile phone addiction is a top secret disease that is affecting many phone users
these days. But as we lean towards introducing technology into every activity of our
lives, we become increasingly dependent on it. This dependency leads to addiction.
The problem of addiction can only be combated through the cooperation of various
bodies of people, such as educational institutions, government, workplace, etc. The
right way to maintain a synergistic balance between technology and its negative
effects is to understand its harmfulness and develop self-control and not give in to
foolish temptations.
