To do your job well, it is important to be able to concentrate and not get distracted by other activities.

And since everyone now has a smartphone with Internet access at hand, social networks often become such a factor.

Let's look at techniques that will help you get rid of the habit of grabbing your phone every five minutes in search of notifications.

Effective methods

The first and easiest method is to turn off the Internet on your phone when you enter the office. Having to turn it on manually every time should help you give up this bad habit.

If you don't need a phone to call clients, then it is recommended to remove it from the table altogether.

And don’t forget to turn off notifications, otherwise after another message in messengers, your hand will automatically reach out to check the news feed.

An even more radical method is to delete applications from your smartphone. When you have to log into your browser over and over again to access your favorite social network, this inconvenience will completely discourage you from hanging out in them during the workday.
