- Honestly assess how much time you spend on these electronics each day. Most people’s estimates are too rough and grossly underestimate themselves in terms of numbers. If you want to make a record of the amount of electronic products, write down the time of switching on and off or the time of logging in and out of software such as e-mail can be.
- Based on your usage records or estimated usage records, find out where you can start to reduce the amount. This is probably one of the most time-consuming areas for you, so don’t waste this opportunity to get back the time you willingly surrendered.
- Find a few time slots in your daily life that are dedicated to watching electronic screens. Half an hour in the morning or half an hour in the afternoon, find the right time for yourself. Outside of these dedicated time periods, turn off the electronics. If you have urgent business to attend to, have your assistant remind you. Let your colleagues and clients know that you will not be ready or timely to respond to them.
- Keep electronics off during the social process, such as lunch or coffee with someone.
- When you are bored, don’t use electronics as a “pacifier”. Do something more efficient, such as find the article you’ve always wanted to read, or call a friend you’ve always wanted to contact, or to write that email you’ve been bothered not to write.
- Keep a list of “what to do when you’re bored” on hand, as long as it’s not the Internet.
- avoid those addictive or habit-forming web pages and games. You know what kills you the most. Once you get used to not touch these things, they will gradually fade out of your sight, disappearing.
- Encourage your team or department to work together to establish a communication strategy: when to send a message, when not to send; what to expect from the recovery interval of an email or message; how long an email is even if it is lengthy, etc.
- Use a smarter approach to human connection, that is, face-to-face communication. Although this is more time-consuming and more trouble, but the richness of face-to-face communication is incomparable to electronic products.
- measure and monitor their own progress. The more progress you make, the more enthusiasm you will have to take it to the next level and continue to reduce your screen time. Not only to monitor how much time you have saved as a result, but also to see what significant improvements in the quantity and quality of work you enjoy.
