La La Land Mommy: 3 Ways A Phone Is A Procrastinator’s Downfall
I’ve always said that if you look up procrastinator in the dictionary you would find my picture. I am the queen procrastinator. There are so many distractions that just about anything can get my attention away from the things that I am suppose to be doing. Me being lazy doesn’t help either. I can say that I have been getting better. It takes a lot of work but when I dedicate myself I get a ton of stuff done. When I think of one my biggest distractions I would have to say it is my phone. That darn thing has gotten me behind on a lot of things. Let me explain why. I’m going to give you three reasons why a phone is a procrastinator’s down fall.
- It is a distraction. Have you ever been doing something and someone calls you and next thing you know you have been on the phone for hours.
- Social media, text, email, and game notifications. It’s not only phone calls that can distract you those darn notifications can practically call your name. You can mindlessly be on those things for hours. I have tried to ignore a words with friends notification but just have to play my turn or I’ve gone to respond to a text or email and found myself doing other things.
- Excuses. A phone gives you an excuse to not do anything. There is just so much you can do on it. You don’t even have to go to a computer.
- Set hours for when you dedicate your time to the things you need to do.
- Turn off the notifications on your phone. For your apps and stuff. Leave your ringer on of course for emergencies.
I myself are still working on these things. I hope my tips help you as well.
