Nice one... phone is really taking the place of real life people. Imagine always chatting with a Lalastica you'll never meet and ignoring the neighbours next flat you always see...

Op Thank you, but Kolewerk

Yeah right bro

how abt me DAT made abt 85% of my income daily with my phone ..

Thanks broff, this post is the best I've read all day.
Have u been so phone addicted so much so that u even operate ur phone and lose a very important opportunity in ur life I.e a good job. I'm not saying smart phone are not good but y'all will testify with me that it contributed a great deal to the decadent era we are in today.
When I discovered how addicted I was with phone and how my moral standards degraded, I started taking steps to cut down on phone hours.. So this post has given me more steps on that.
So it's thumbs up from here Bro.

Phone addiction is almost impossible to stop, Particularly in Nigeria where 1.5 GB is 5 times cheaper at night.Alot of night crawlers use it daily.Airtel night plan.

I need deliverance . It has eaten me so deep that I can't breath without phone. I don't know if anyone is in my shoes

same here bro
i do fine without a phone especially if it gets spoilt or stolen but when i finally get another.

There must surely be a reason for me to press it

Most of your points re just words. I dont think a simple one will be effective

JARUSHUB:
An addiction 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. planning your day well. Wont guarantee you wont be stuck to your screen for the remaining hours of the day

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.

Having a no phone period will only heighten your anticipation and give you more ideas of things to do when you finally get your phone back


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.

This has nothing to do with stopping an addiction

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.
I see where you are trying to come from here. But still, this cant effective. As a former phone addict.
I always pick up my phone to reply a message before the notification comes up. It happens. Whether your phone is on silent mode or not. Your mind would stoll bug you to check


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 phrase here is ‘without a doubt’.)

this is text messaging addiction i guess. Probably the most effective of everything. After the physical part. It still boils down to "give me your number" and youll both chat away your lives. But the idea of using real world relationships to distract you from your phone can work. But it will take a ton of effort

These things you just mentioned almost look impossible. I am so addicted to my phone that I could hardly eat without pressing phone , this has almost scattered my home. Seriously, I am disturbed; I need to disengage myself, it is taken a larger part of me.

Chai! I'm addicted to computer and phone. Though it pays me, I know restricting a bit will help me.

You can start with a smartwatch, for example. You will see on it only the important notifications and you won't be distracted by your phone that much.

Like a Moto 360, for example. Sorry for double posting.

lolz.... kolewerk.... once you are addicted you're addicted... to me determination is everything...

6. Get one super smartphone from http://7rl.in/jAnd and enjoy your life.

Its like you are telling me what I am doing, as opposed to how to stop doing it.
