Yes, I do. When I focus on studying or preparing for my examination, I always switch off my phone because it may be distracting when the phone rings or someone sends a message to me.
No, I just switch my phone to smode
Honestly, I don't always switch off my mobile phone. Actually, mobile phone really disturbs us to waste time. And I even couldn't focus well because I am addicted to use internet. But I am trying to switch off my phone to get more productive at my work.
some times
yes, I always do it. I turn off wifi, turn on silence mode and put it away from me like the girls in the video. It helps me concentrate on my study and not disrupted. so, I think it is one of the most tip to make us work and study productively.
I don't close it, but I put it away from me.
hah, this is a good method how to be more productive in the work. Now i`m not completely rid of it yet, but i`m trying, and i know, if i will be less distructed by my phone, than i get rid of this habit and will be unaddicted from my phone.
No, I know it's more helpful for focus but I am phone addiction...
yes, I always switch off my phone during studying and working.
I think it's crucial to put our phones on silent mode because nowadays social media notifications can be overwhelming and distract us.
