No, rarely.
I would always turn off my mobile phone whenever I'm studying for an upcoming exam to help focus better on my studies.
In my private life, I switch off my phone when I concentrate. I also do it to listen to the silence ;). Silence is precious to preserve our health.
In my professional life, it is impossible for me to turn off my phone.
Actually, I don't switch off my phone. I just put it away when I need to focus on something.
Yes, I do. It help me be more productive in at my work
No, I can concentrate well when I do every job. I studied in front of the TV when I was young. Now I can do my tasks even in noisy places. Of course, this is a good habit for me.
Actually iam using phone more, even i follow these lessons with my phone,so I don’t switch my phone off but I put it away and do my works
Yes, I always do. I study for about 8 hours every day. I need to stay focused during those hours, so I switch off my phone.
