This may sound like it\u2019s easier said than done, but it\u2019s crucial when it comes to getting rid of digital distractions.<\/p>

You\u2019ve probably heard that\u00a0sleep cycles<\/a>\u00a0happen in increments of 90 minutes. This actually also applies to waking life!<\/p>

Eliminate digital distractions by taking digital-free breaks every ninety minutes at least. Go for a walk, work out, weed your garden, get a coffee, etc. This is particularly important if you\u2019ve been overloading the technology during those ninety minutes.<\/p>

Make sure these\u00a0digital detox<\/a>\u00a0breaks last for at least ten minutes. You\u2019ll be surprised what this can do for your productivity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

2. Wean Yourself Off of Dependency<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the best ways to eliminate digital distractions is to wean yourself off of them. This may sound intense, but it\u2019s also important to recognize that distractions are a result of dependency.<\/p>

If you feel the urge to check your phone every minute, start by enforcing fifteen minute check cycles.<\/p>

After you send a message or check your phone, turn it off or on airplane mode for fifteen minutes. Then turn it back on, allow yourself a minute or two to browse, and then repeat the cycle.<\/p>

Once you\u2019ve freed yourself up a bit in this way, start shutting of technology for longer stints. Try thirty minutes or even an hour at a time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Create Tech Boundaries<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s critical to keep boundaries with technology. Boundaries can reduce distractions and make sure that you can fully engage in all other areas of your life.<\/p>

Start by keeping your devices out of your bedroom. A lot of people go to bed reading a tablet. They also wake up and immediately check messages while still in their pajamas.<\/p>

Build a habit of using your devices only at certain times and in certain places during the day. For example, use devices only when you\u2019re in your office or the kitchen. Creating tech-free zones will eliminate distraction, boost productivity, and keep you happier. To enforce this habit, use\u00a0FocusMe for Android<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

4. Realize What\u2019s Happening<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Knowledge is power when it comes to managing digital distractions. Bringing awareness to your tech engagement can go miles in helping you keep a healthy balance between digital and analog.<\/p>

For one thing, technology can boost your anxiety levels. Studies show that people who have\u00a0fears of missing out<\/a>\u00a0on something important feed these fears with technology. They have to check their phones constantly to make sure they\u2019re on top of things, and feel more anxious when they can\u2019t do so.<\/p>

Multitasking with technology can also harm your performance and productivity. Checking Instagram during a work meeting, for example, means that you\u2019re not fully engaged in the conversation.<\/p>

Realizing that you may be harming your work performance and engagement just by responding to digital demands is the first step in making a change.<\/p>

It\u2019s also important to realize what this tech is meant to do for us. In reality, technology makes our lives easier. We\u2019re supposed to get things done faster and feel happier about things as a result.<\/p>

It can be easy to forget this basic intention. But once you start flipping your perspective, you\u2019ll use technology for its function\u2013not as a means of elevating stress levels in the body.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

5. Give Yourself Alternatives<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Another solution that can help you get rid of digital distractions is finding healthy alternatives.<\/p>

For example, instead of texting someone constantly, why not give them a call? If scrolling down your Facebook\u2019s news feed isn\u2019t helping you, why not work out for ten minutes instead?<\/p>

Choose healthy alternatives designed to both calm you down and engage with your contacts in a more meaningful way. As a result, you may be surprised at how energized, attentive, and relaxed you are.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
