Technology makes our daily lives easier and helps us get the most out of life. However, it's no substitute for real life . Because Life Is the Best Technology .
So, if you recognize that you are perhaps a little addicted to WhatsApp, Pokémon Go, Instagram, Facebook or Outlook, if you think you spend too much time in front of the screen of your smartphone, computer or tablet... In short, if you consider that you need to disconnect from technology but you don't know how , we bring you 3 very useful applications that will help you moderate the use of your devices:
Could you tell how many times you check your phone a day ? It's probably a lot more than you think. This app specializes in opening your eyes and making you realize that maybe you have a problem, as it keeps track of how many times you unlock your phone per day . Plus, at the end of the week, it provides you with a report with your statistics . This way, you can compare your results with those of your friends or see your progress over time.
"Life is what happens while you're looking at your smartphone screen." This devastating phrase is the foundation for FaceUp, the first app dedicated to understanding and overcoming the "mobile addiction" suffered by approximately 71% of smartphone users.
This fun app starts by giving you a test to determine your level of cell phone addiction and then creates challenges based on your results . This way, the app allows you to track your progress. It also features the PhoneStack game, which aims to prevent you and your friends from phubbing —that is, ignoring each other by constantly looking at your phones.
While it's true that mobile phones are a tool that makes our lives easier, sometimes they become a real obstacle when it comes to fulfilling our obligations. You've probably heard of spending the afternoon on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, or YouTube, when you should have been studying or finishing that urgent report. Don't worry: here's Forest, an app that will help you concentrate in a fun way . Its approach is as simple as this: you enter the app and plant a seed. In the next 30 minutes, that seed will grow into a tree. If, on the other hand, you exit the app to check Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc., or to play a game, your tree will wither. Ooooh, how sad... :( Moral: You have 30 minutes to focus on what you have to do without being distracted by your phone. Helpful, right?
These are our three apps for today. Aren't they good?
And remember, smartphones and tablets can be great allies... But there's life beyond the screen. Do some self-reflection. Do you spend too much time on your electronic devices? Start your digital disconnection today!
