Day 353: On Glancing at Your Smartphon e

If every moment of potential boredom is relieved with a quick glance at

your smartphone, then your brain has likely been rewired to a point where

it’s  not  ready  for  deep  work  —  even  if  you  regularly  schedule  time  to

practice this concentration.

—Cal Newport

 

353

If  you  have  a  tendency  to  glance  at  your  smartphone  every  few

minutes  or  the  thought  of  leaving  your  smartphone  in  another  room  for  a

few  minutes  gives  you  an  anxiety  attack,  it’s  time  to  embrace  your  self-

control to defeat this habit.

It  sounds  like  a  little  insignificant  thing,  but  in  fact  it’s  a  sign  of  a

deeper issue: your brain has been rewired in such a way that you physically



cannot resist the urge to periodically check your phone. Consequently, you

can’t maintain focus for more than a few minutes, and I don’t think I need

to explain why this ruins your productivity.

Start slowly. Instead of checking your phone every five minutes, wait

for  ten  minutes.  Then,  when  it  gets  easier,  try  twenty.  Thirty.  Forty.  One

hour.


Again,  it’s  a  tiny  bad  habit,  but  working  on  it  presents  a  valuable

exercise  in  growing  your  willpower.  It  will  also  eventually  improve  your

ability to engage in deep work that you’d otherwise  keep interrupting by

checking your phone every few minutes.
