Somewhere behind you or wherever. So you cannot even see it, not consciously, but also not unconsciously, because still you feel like this anxiety when it's still somewhere in your sight, even if you do not look at it consciously.
Ever find yourself reaching for your phone even when you don’t really need it? Johan, the host of 'SocialMediaBreakup', has a straightforward yet powerful tip that could change your relationship with your smartphone. In this episode, he introduces the concept of keeping your phone out of sight to help you stay focused and reduce anxiety. Imagine having a designated 'phone lounge' in your home or office where your device stays put, far from your immediate reach. Sounds simple, right?
But the impact can be profound. Johan explains that even when you’re not actively looking at your phone, just having it in your line of sight can trigger a subconscious pull towards it. This subtle distraction can sap your focus and increase anxiety. By placing your phone behind you or in a drawer, you create a physical barrier that helps you resist the urge to check it constantly.
It’s like hiding a cookie jar when you’re on a diet – out of sight, out of mind. The episode doesn’t stop there. Johan dives into the broader impacts of excessive phone and social media use, sharing practical tips on how to manage these habits without cutting yourself off from the digital world entirely. His advice is practical and relatable, making it easy to implement these changes in your daily life.
Whether you’re struggling with phone addiction or just looking for ways to be more productive, this episode offers valuable insights that can help you reclaim your time and attention. Tune in to learn how a small change in your environment can lead to significant improvements in your mental well-being and productivity.
