Here are six suggestions to help you get back on track if you've developed the bad habit of checking social media and news websites nonstop when you should be paying attention to your instructor. 1. IMMEDIATELY CLOSE ALL SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITES & APPS. Although it may sound obvious, have you actually tried it? We assure you that once you close any social networking websites that are open on your desktop computer, you won't be able to become sidetracked by them again. When it's time to enter the Zoom classroom, all social media and other distractions should be shut off, and all of your focus should be on the speaker. 2. REDUCE THE USE OF YOUR SMARTPHONES It can be really tempting to open your smartphone and begin browsing social media apps when you aren't actually seated in front of your teacher in a classroom. Consider restricting your phone usage instead of trying to quickly and easily turn off the notifications for all of your apps. You can limit and keep track of your smartphone usage with a variety of apps. For users of Android and iOS, here are two comparable apps: 3. Put your phone to sleep or put it away from you. Turning off your phone can make a significant difference if you believe that reducing screen time will still not be enough. You will have to stop and think about what you're going to do the next time you grab it to unlock the screen. This advice is for you if you're the kind to constantly unlock your phone. If you want to go the extra mile, you can leave your phone at a location that is out of your reach and distance from your place of employment or study, or you can ask a member of your household to store it for you until the end of the class or the submission of your assignment. 4. ESTABLISH A SOCIAL MEDIA DAILY SCHEDULE Although it may seem paradoxical, allowing yourself to use social media is an excellent method to maintain discipline. Utilize a calendar or planner to mark down a period during the day and how long you will allow yourself to spend on social media. Choosing the optimum hours for you will require some trial and error, so be sure they don't conflict with your class times. Here are some illustrations: Spend 20 minutes on Facebook or Twitter at 9:30 if your class doesn't start until 10. Once your 7:30am alarm goes off, spend 5-10 minutes reading messages on your phone. After eating at 11 a.m., spend 15 minutes on TikTok at 11:30 a.m. But, in order for this timetable to be effective, it must take into account your social media usage habits. With the correct schedule in place, you'll be able to better manage your time and start working more productively rather than putting off tasks. 5. Examine how you spend your time and set reminders. A "Screen time" measuring app can be helpful in this situation. Consider the apps you use frequently and note which ones you need to place restrictions on. Make a note that reads, "Limit time spent on TikTok to 1 hour and 30 minutes," for instance, if you spend two hours a day using the app. Continue this every day, progressively reducing the time until you reach a time that you can realistically maintain. This is a powerful technique for teaching yourself to spend less time on social media. 6. SUBSTITUTE OTHER ACTIVITIES FOR THE TIME YOU SPEND ON SOCIAL MEDIA. It's difficult to replace something you do frequently, so start small. This holds true for many types of diversions, not just social media. Maybe you spend too much time on your laptop watching YouTube videos. Instead, try reading a book or taking a 30-minute stroll. Disconnecting from social media can occasionally help you concentrate on activities that can lead to greater productivity. Spend more time with your family or housemates or perhaps take up a new pastime. If you start using your time in more beneficial ways, you'll start feeling better about yourself. You'll be less likely to become sidetracked if you use social media less frequently. Read more tips on 5 Health Benefits Of Yoga
