00:00There are several strategies which can be used to get rid of this addiction. Here are some suggestions.
00:07Smartphones have replaced books, newspapers, magazines, mp3 player, camera, tv, game console,
00:14computer, and many other useful things. But instead of doing it all on a single smartphone,
00:20use other devices instead. Switch between different activities. It is good for both
00:24our body and brain. This makes our life more versatile and we will be less addicted to one
00:30device. Limit screen time. Installing parental control app on our device is a great support for
00:35this. Parental control can be great help for us to become more self-disciplined and self-controlled
00:41in the addiction of our phone. Disable notifications. If we turn the notifications off,
00:46we won't have temptation to check irrelevant stuff. Establish phone-free periods each day.
00:52If you don't have physical access to your smartphones right away, we're less likely
00:57to check it every single minute. This helps to concentrate on work and to avoid distractions.
01:02The phone next to our bed means that it is within touching distance, so we are more likely to check
01:07it before we sleep or as soon as we get up. When we're bored and want to kill the time,
01:11we should grab a book instead of our phone. I think this will help a lot of kids and adults.
01:16I should also start following these. JazakAllah Aliha for sharing these useful strategies with us.
01:23Now, moving on to our next story.
