The majority of teenagers are glued to their phones and often get so distracted that they cannot focus on their schoolwork. Making sure to balance the amount of time used on a phone versus the amount of time dedicated to completing schoolwork is crucial for success. There are many strategies that can help you put down your phone and focus on your schoolwork in order to enhance your productivity.
Procrastinating is a common experience, however, there are many ways to stop delaying the completion of your work. Social media is, arguably, one of the largest factors to becoming distractions. It is people’s biggest concern and consumes our center of attention. Whether its positive or negative impacts, social media takes away from one’s everyday life. For example, to help pay attention while completing homework, it is common for teens to play music in the background to focus on their work. However, even something as simple as opening their phone to skip a song can result in opening up other apps, causing one to go down a rabbit hole on their phone. Next thing they know, hours have gone by and their work is not close to done. Although the world revolves around screens, they should not dictate student’s education.
There are many alternatives to getting distracted by screens that people can follow to get all their work done. It is essential to follow a balanced approach to fix the impact of screens. Using apps that block distracting websites or limit social media can help significantly. Creating a designated study space away from entertainment that is used to focus can also largely impact your focus.In order to be successful, one must learn how not to procrastinate, get the work done and go on their phones after all their work is complete.
Having a phone is not always a bad thing, it is in fact helpful in many ways, but having a limit to how much you are exposed to day by day can significantly change one’s lifestyle.
