The day before yesterday I wrote an article called "Life is originally boring, but there will be wind when you run." The reason was that a message was pushed by my phone on the weekend, showing that I used my phone on average for 13 hours a day last week.
So I participated in an outdoor bicycle cycling activity and challenged a single 38km ride.
In the past two days, Overuse of mobile phone This incident is like a thorn, stabbing me from time to time in my heart.
Although I intentionally reduced the use of my phone, the effect is not obvious.
I know that my current life is kidnapped by my mobile phone, but I have never faced this matter. What is the concept of
13 hours? Except for the 8 hours of sleep, which means that the remaining 16 hours of I spent 81% of the time with my mobile phone .
This is simply crazy.
So I decided to face up to this problem, and started the "30 days away from the phone" challenge.
01 My mobile usage
I sorted out my mobile usage in the past 14 days.
You can see from the data:
1) Use WeChat for more than 4 hours a day. Of course, this is largely due to work, and the other part is games. I don't download special game software, but I usually play some mini games through WeChat applets. For example, the recent "Sheep" one day I wasted nearly 3 hours on it.
2) Use Weibo, Douban for nearly 3 hours every day. I basically use the two APPs of to read entertainment gossip, which is not helpful for learning and improvement. I didn’t expect that I would waste so much time on it every day without realizing it.
3) Use iQiyi and Mango TV for nearly 3 hours every day. I use it to watch TV series and Mango TV to watch variety shows. A TV series was 45 minutes long, and after double the speed, I finished watching it almost half an hour. In other words, I watch at least 6 TV series every day.
02 Why stay away from your phone?
Excessive use of mobile phone has had a lot of impact on my life:
1) Vision loss. Before I went to college, I was 200 degrees myopia. At that time, not wearing glasses basically did not affect my daily life. In the past 8 years after college, my myopia has risen to more than 500 degrees, and I am completely inseparable from glasses.
2) Stay up late and sleep. I started getting up early on August 22nd and have been working for 38 days today. I always stayed up until very late before starting the early challenge. Although I was obviously sleepy, I was always reluctant to put down my phone and go to bed. Switch back and forth between major APPs, often staying until one or two o'clock in the morning before going to bed. The result of staying up late is poor skin and poor mental state during the day.
3) addicted to the virtual world. The virtual world in mobile phones brings me a brief period of happiness and relaxation. Usually when I want to escape reality or feel stressed, I will indulge in the virtual world, watch dramas, chase variety shows, and gossip with netizens.
But I am a obsessive-compulsive disorder patient and often do things without any effort. If I watch a drama, I must watch it in one breath. I will definitely not be able to sleep until I finish it. Even if it is not finished, after watching the update on that day, I will definitely search the entire network for everyone's discussions and comments on this drama. For example, on September 18, I spent 12 hours on iQiyi to finish a movie called ", Canglan Jue, ".
4) Wasting time. The biggest impact of excessive use of mobile phones is the waste of time.I was frightened by my use of my phone in the past 14 days. Apart from sleeping, I only had 3 hours a day to not look at my phone, which also included eating, meetings, lunch break and on the way to and from get off work. So, I don’t have time to exercise, exercise, skin care, develop hobbies, and improve myself.
Mobile phone has had too many negative effects on my life, so I have to stay away from my phone.
03 How to stay away from your phone?
After facing this problem, I quickly made a plan to stay away from my phone today.
1) Start a 30-day challenge away from mobile phones. The reason why sets the time to 30 days is because studies have shown that 21 days can develop a habit.
2) stipulates the maximum duration of using the mobile phone every day. My goal is to use your phone for no more than 8 hours a day.
3) Record the daily use of mobile phones. After , every time the article is updated, I will disclose my daily use of my mobile phone. Only in this way can we better supervise ourselves.
4) Uninstall Douyin , Weibo, and Douban APP. I usually use Mango TV to watch variety shows, one episode a week, it won’t be addicted and it’s very stressful, so I plan to keep this APP. I will uninstall all three other purely entertainment apps.
5) No longer watch TV series. has always been, I actually don’t like watching TV series. In the past two years, I have been chasing a lot of them in order to pass the boring time. After that, I will never watch TV series again.
6) Arrange your time every day. The most time I play with my phone is after get off work and on weekends. After get off work every day, I will go to a coffee shop near the company to complete the writing tasks on the same day, wash up as soon as I go home, and then take care of my skin, chat with my family and friends, and read books.
7) Go out more often to participate in activities on weekends. I went to the outdoors for two consecutive weekends, which made me feel very good. Every weekend after that, you can go out at least once, watch movies, perform, go shopping, make dinner appointments, hiking, photography or cycling.
