Avoid Phone Distractions:
- Set your notifications to silent
- Unplug or disconnect internet while working on a single document or reading
- Set a timer, counting up (to notice how distracted you are) or counting down (to set work or break times)
- If available, use a separate device to do school work, which does not have your distractions on it (for example, social media, games, etc.)
- Intentionally review your screen time on your device to track your usage and work to curtail it
