The annual rings of history are constantly rolling forward, and the development of society is becoming more and more rapid. From the 1990s to the present, we have also entered the smartphone era from the 2G era. The birth of mobile phones has indeed brought us great convenience. It can allow people from all over the world to meet in a community; even if couples are separated from each other, they can convey their thoughts and tenderness through mobile phones.
However, as the mobile phones have more and more functions, it has gradually invaded every space and time in our lives. Various collaborative APPs at work have almost occupied our working hours. After get off work, various social and entertainment APPs have almost plundered our only remaining time.
This also makes communication between any of us less and less. Even at a party, we can see that everyone is holding a mobile phone. They obviously sit face to face but need to communicate with their mobile phones. Isn’t this ironic? The use of mobile phones also distracts people's attention and it is difficult to concentrate for a long time. They also become anxious and irritable when facing work and study.
Although we know that playing with mobile phones for a long time is not good, we still have to be swept away by our mobile phones. Just like the point that Anders Hansen, chief mental health expert of Sweden , Swedish , put forward in the book "Mobile Brain": We think we are playing with our mobile phones, but in fact we are playing with our mobile phones.
So can't we get rid of the conspiracy of our mobile phones? There are actually methods. Anders Hansen told us that if you want to quit your phone addiction, you only need to do these three things:
01|Putting the phone in a position we can't see
I did the test myself, and while handling work matters, I watched the teaching video. Later, I found that I didn't know when I finally turned into immersive watching videos, just like Earl Miller, a professor at the Department of Neuroscience at MIT, said: Humans cannot handle multiple tasks at the same time. If someone says he can, it's just that he is deceiving himself.
I also checked the relevant information and saw that Stanford scholars have also done such an experiment. They asked the experimental subjects to perform multiple tasks at the same time and then observe them. The result is just as we expected. Choosing the experimental subjects to handle multiple tasks is not only unable to improve efficiency, but also unable to concentrate. I feel that I have to do this and that at once.
In fact, the impact of mobile phones on us comes from this. I believe that when you are reading or working, you are afraid that you will waste time on your phone and affect your efficiency, so you will mute your phone or place it in your desktop or pocket. The impact may not be big in a short period of time, but it is always in your field of vision, and your attention will be divided up by it from time to time. As time goes by, the "demon" in your heart begins to move. At this time, if you take out your phone to look, you will fall into a "vicious cycle".
So if you want to get rid of the constraints of your phone, we can put your phone in a place we can’t see or get, and then use it when things are finished. You will find that your attention and action are much stronger than before.
02|Specifies the time specifically used to view and reply messages
I believe everyone has this experience. When we are reading books, will we always want to open our phone and swipe it, and then reply to some irrelevant WeChat messages.
This era is an era of information explosion. The moment we pick up our mobile phone, you will find that you have been swept by information and data.
At this time, we might as well make changes. First of all, we can take out 5 minutes every hour to view content and reply to information, and leave out all contact messages on the phone for the rest of the time.
In this way, you will find that you will no longer browse your phone aimlessly, but will seize these 5 minutes to process the information you think is important.
This forces itself to screen content and focus more on doing things, which also indirectly improves our work efficiency. You can actually try to take action.
03|Put down your phone and go out to see the outside world more
I believe that friends who like running like me will find that although they are a little tired after running, the overall state of their body still feels relaxed. That is because exercise can help our bodies relieve stress and release inner anxiety.
Many people will say that playing games and watching TV shows can also relieve stress, but in fact, the intake of information on the Internet has aggravated my anxiety. You will find that if you lose the game, your content will become unwilling; when watching TV shows, when you are stuck at the most exciting time, you will also start to scratch your heart. This will make us feel more physically and mentally exhausted, and exercise will not betray you. It can not only relieve stress, but also make my body better and resist diseases.
Put down your phone, go out to see the outside world more . It can improve the speed of our brain thinking and make us more agile.
Mobile phone is a double-edged sword. We use it well. It is a magical tool to improve efficiency and change the world, but if we are influenced by it, it is Satan who drags us to hell. Let us suffer all our suffering.
