Yes, I did. The mobile phone is very distracting, and it wastes too much time.
Yes, I always prefer to switch my mobile phone off while studying or doing any other work that needs focus. I also did this but now I don't have a mobile because it was lost and I haven't bought new mobile yet because I believe that mobile is so disturbing in my life, it makes me divert to my goals, but yeah, I have a laptop for study and working purpose.
Kind of , sometimes , but most of the time I don't turn off.
what is it?
no, I rarely switch off my phone, but I always use the silence mode when I need focus and also to sleep
nah unfortunately
Sometimes I switch off my phone and sometimes not.
Hi, no I don't switch off my phone when I'm working, and to be honest it's distracting, especially the urge to check Instagram constantly.
No, I rarely switch off my phone. I often use do-not-disturb mode if I need to focus.
I've already switched off my cell phone during a job interview.
