1. Set goals and limits
It’s essential to understand why you are using social media. If it’s for work or study, establish clear time frames. For instance, allocate 30 minutes in the morning and evening to check news and messages.
2. Disable unnecessary notifications
Constant notifications can distract your attention and create a sense of urgency. Turn off notifications from non-essential apps and check them at your convenience.
3. Use "Do Not Disturb" mode
Many smartphones allow you to activate a mode where incoming messages and notifications do not interrupt you. This can help you focus on work, study, or relaxation.
4. Set app usage limits
Modern phones enable you to impose restrictions on the use of specific applications. For example, you can set a limit of 1 hour per day for social media, after which access will be temporarily blocked.
5. Replace social media with beneficial habits
Try substituting scrolling through your news feed with reading a book, going for walks, or engaging in hobbies. Over time, these activities will become more enjoyable than aimlessly browsing the internet.
6. Remove unnecessary apps
If an app constantly distracts you and offers no real benefit, consider deleting it for at least a week. This will help you assess how important it truly is in your life.
