An addition is basically when a thing begins to control your life and interferes with your daily activities, work and relationships. When your phone starts to do that to you, it has become an addiction you need to immediately break. Jumia Travel , the leading online travel agency, shares 5 effective ways to break a phone addiction.

The First Few Minutes of Your Day
The first way to break a phone addiction is to dedicate the first 10 to 30 minutes of your day, at least, to planning and creating a good start to your day, rather than unlocking your phone to browse various internet or social media platforms.

Create No-Phone Periods
You have to be strict with this one because this can significantly decrease your productivity and efficiency once you are unable to carry it out. If you find yourself constantly being distracted by your phone, it is necessary to create a no-phone period, where for a specific number of minutes or hours you close off your phone and stay completely dedicated to your work.

Don’t Lose Sleep Over Your Phone
Set limits. You should never allow your phone deprive you of your sleep. Be disciplined and set limits. The moment you stop putting energy into caring for your basic needs and start putting all your time and energy into your phone, you are allowing your phone dictate your health and well-being. Please stop that, your phone is not worth your health.

Customize Your Notifications
The fact is the lesser notifications you receive, the less likely you are to get distracted by your smartphone and constantly check your smartphone. Therefore, customize your smartphone notifications by turning off notifications for the apps that distract you the most.

Work on Building Real Life Relationships
Rather than spending hours building virtual relationships, try to get real and work to develop real world relationships.

Real world relationships are more physically and emotionally gratifying than virtual relationships, so try to move your relationships with people from your phone to a real world platform.

Instead of chatting, try to meet up somewhere next time (but be careful with this however and take this step with people you are without a doubt sure you can trust. The key word here is ‘without a doubt’.)

You created this thread at exactly 05:31am. You know what that means You are addicted to your phone too.

Tell that to the Mods.
Some of them have spend over a year online on NL alone.
Just imagine how much time they spend on other sites, social media etc

Its hard but possible,also i heard there's an app that combats phone addiction.

Shooirr.. If not for smartphone addiction, would I be able to comment on page 0 in FP topic?

Phone, gadgets and electronic addictions are the new epidemics that will soon plague the world. There will soon be rehabilitation centres to help this addicts.

I believe only a rehabilitation center can work

The only thing I do with my phone is Nairaland, is it addiction?

[quote author=directonpc post=56373448]What if ur phone addiction puts food on the table for you? [/quote) my own phone is my shop how won't I addict to it.

So are u suppose to post dis, this early?

Why will I wanna break the phone addiction

watch out for my new song titled "cucumber"

it can be so annoying, while ur wit ur date, nd ur busy pressing fone..

You have to first convince me why I should stop the addiction.

Am not ready for that shift yet

Phone addiction is not such a bad thing...just because Nigeria has no light doesn't mean carrying your phone up and down for charging means you are an addict....

Virtually anything can be done on the phone, to do things physically is to give yourself more stress

So you want me to travel abroad when i can view anything and everything on my phone??

Or you want me to drive hours just to say hi to someone when i can just put him/her on chat??


I am not understanding ooo.

i use two phones and i feel it's not even enough due to epileptic power supply,

Yes daddy

If it isn't for business purpose, then you are missing it.

While not be our marketer, then get value for your time spent online

Work on building real life relationship.

Business relationship I guess.

Humans are evolving in technology, so phone addiction is normal, it is a sign we're embrassing technology.

Making use of phone really exposed me to a lot of things than what our fathers and mothers didn't know during their days.

Don't care how attracted I am to my phone, if I wanna break it I break it

1. get a job
2. get a job
3. get a job
4. get a job

Op it won't work..As long as say the phone dey ur possession you go still use am..The only way to break the addiction is by getting urself a non browsing torch light phone.
