Phone Procrastination

I have found the Opal app extremely helpful (even the free version!). Otherwise for me it’s about leaving my phone in another room as much as I can.

Depending on your phone, my screen time used to be 8+ hours and it felt like my whole life revolved around my phone. I found that turning on Work Mode and not seeing these notifications flood thru has helped me stop reaching for my phone all the time. I got to a point where I hardly use my phone now because it’s not dinging every 5 seconds lol so that’s something you can try!

What helps me is to determine the cause of my procrastination. Why am I trying to distance myself from this task? Am I afraid if so of what? Can I do something about it (if so then I do if not then I dont have to worry about it). Dichotomy of control helps with a lot of the procrastination in my life. TLDR; figure out why you try to distance yourself from the problem.
