如何戒掉手机-立下规定

 How to stay away from cell phone?

Create rules for living.

 

Having general rulesfor indulging in gadget¹ time are too easy to slack on, just like diets andworkouts.

 

Take the next 10minutes to figure out the hours when your tech is truly indispensable, and thennail down times when it should never be used: dinner time, when you're with the kids, and yes, in bed.

 

Be specific and be rigid².

 

Have a designated,inconvenient spot where your device should go during those times so that youdon't cave — a cabinet upstairs, in your car, or in the basement.
