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.
Switching off my mobile phone depends on the importance or difficulty of the task that I'm doing. For instance, When I prepare for the IELTS exam, especially in speaking and listening skills, I turn off my phone, because I need to be fully focused. While doing my daily bases job, I do not need to switch off my phone.
some time according of the importance of chat on phone
Yes
Sometimes but not always!
