Many of us will unconsciously check our mobile phones regularly, no matter whether anyone contacts you or not. A British study shows that British adults check their mobile phones 33 times a day, while the proportion of teenagers is as high as 90 times. Checking smartphones is basically an obsessive-compulsive disorder for many people. Researchers say it affects the dopamine circuit in the brain and makes us always want more. To short-circuit this process, please turn off those notifications that will distract your attention, such as mobile phone vibration and some unimportant message reminders. Trust us, you won't miss any important messages or phone calls by doing this. Don't use the so-called "missing important information" as your excuse. One more person like you in WeChat circle of friends or Weibo won't have any influence on your life. Even if you want to answer their concerns, you can concentrate on getting things done in a limited time.

2. Disable the battery level display.

Another reason why you can't help checking your mobile phone may be that you are worried that the battery of your mobile phone is not enough, and that your mobile phone may not be able to cope with various tasks in the rest of the day. But in fact, if you don't use your mobile phone very much or there is something wrong with the battery of your mobile phone, most mobile phones have enough power for one day. The more you watch, the faster the battery will be consumed. As far as the mobile phone is concerned, no matter whether the battery is 80% or 50%, it can still work normally, and even if the percentage of the battery is known, there is actually no way. It is better to turn off this function and not watch it. On the other hand, because you don't know the power of your mobile phone, it will also give you a psychological hint. Use your mobile phone less, or what if there is no power?

3. Set the screen color to grayscale.

This is the suggestion of Tristan Harris, a former "design ethicist" of Google. He has done a lot of in-depth research on how mobile phones affect our attention. In order to prevent us from turning our eyes to the main screen of the mobile phone again and again, he suggested setting the beautiful graphical interface of the mobile phone to gray, which would make it look less attractive and the mobile phone would become more monotonous, thus reducing your attention to the mobile phone instead of colorful. You can also continue to make phone calls, text messages or mobile phone maps, but scrolling in some applications will not yield anything. For iPhone, you can click Display Adjustment in Settings-General-Auxiliary Functions, open the color filter, and select the gray scale.
