How to stop using social apps, which are eating your time?
Nowadays, we are all concentrated not on our offline lifestyle, but on social-media which is surrounding us through our devices over and over. The most famous apps in my iPhone are Facebook, Messenger, LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Viber, WhatsApp etc. I noticed that most of them are making me feel "I should check it'" and I came up with rules, which will help you to stop using "time-eaters" so often.
First Use 5 minutes time and change the position of all often-used social media apps to different folders on your phone. You can replace them with iBooks, Calendar, Weather of Calculator or even better - what I did, I replaced social-media apps with DuoLingo, Tiny cards, Tandem and many others applications, which I am using for self-education.
Second Go to your cell-phone setting or each specific application settings and turn off all unnecessary notifications (such as comments, friends online, friends live etc.) which you may receive often. It will help you not to pay attention to red numbers over the right corner of any application you have.
Third Turn off 3G internet connection to social-media apps, so they will not disturb you while you are away from Wi-fi spot, walking, driving, meeting friends, doing sports or shopping.
Fourth Make sure that you are using "Do Not Disturb" option on your phone while you are sleeping. Take care of your tranquility.
Fifth Spent minimum 1 hour per day outside without of your phone. Daily walks will improve your health state.
If i want a peace of mind, i just do the airplane mode. Also, since i became active in steemit, i no longer spend time/less time with those apps. I totally agree with number 5, lets do daily walks or much better enroll and spend an hour on a gym. Awesomeness @lisolkarian.
Yes, @invictuz you are right about the gym, but those who is not doing hard trainings would better have time doing yoga. That's where cell-phones are even not allowed to be present. Same with attending professional relaxing massage. I am very addicted to my phone and honestly point #1 make me use social media much more rarely.
Haha, lets do the walking then. Since we can still comment, upvote and resteem while walking.
don't you think steemit is also kind of addiction?
Since i logged-in, totally yes. Just started two days ago and i never imagined i've hit over 100+ comments already.
Sounds you are famous ) It is my first day here...
Haha, i'm a newbie and its a first time for me joining a blog site. All those crypto stuff and words are also new to me. Maybe being in the BPO world along the way let me learn some skills to easily adapt to people.
Let's be on touch and vote for good posts. I Am sure we will be great supporters.
i spent few weeks without internet before new year. they was deffenetly the most productive / so yea)
Wow, few weeks without of internet, even for my mum it's kinda weird, but it should be great experience. Wish to manage like this, but being a part of big IT company, making me to use devices constantly day by day...
Отличная статья. С почином Вас. Теперь пора писать представление о себе. Так сложилось здесь, что это один из главных постов.
Андрей @cranium, представление о себе - это что-то типа биографии?
как кому угодно, презентовать себя тезисно либо со всеми деталями биографии дело вкуса... Обрисовать сферу интересов аля начинать набирать аудиторию. Єто мое видение... Отмежеватся от ботов и ноунєимов типа. посмотри как другие делаю и как єто собирает лаики. https://steemit.com/trending/introduceyourself что еще посоветую не делай длинное название поста чтоб была такая ссылка которая влазит сюда:
не всякая влезет... я это не учел и мое представление на спех зделанное х найдеш теперь, да и фото с хостинга пропало) надо будет повторить да все руки не доходят
Круто) Попробую тоже так о себе написать. Но я думаю, что мне было бы интересно иностранную публику собрать.
да это буржуинский ресурс и основные мани у англосаксов)
мы по началу пытались на 2ух языках но потом забили...
Good post, for a beginner even PERFECT!
Thanx 🍀
Молодец хороший пост, рестимну может кто из моих фоловеров оценит... присоветую смотреть какие тэги более хайповые и используй их релевантные (подходящие) но те что собирают бабос https://steemit.com/tags по выплатам сортируеш. все кроме первого можно менять.
