Phone Habits
Phone in a Study Group
Keep group learning actually collaborative.
Why This Habit Is Harmful
In a study group, a phone on the table divides your attention and slows the group. You miss explanations, contribute less, and model distraction to peers, lowering everyone’s productivity in a session meant for focus.
How to Break It
- 1Agree on a phone-stacking rule at the start.
- 2Keep phones in bags during the session.
- 3Assign a "focus keeper" to notice drift.
- 4Take scheduled phone breaks between topics.
- 5Put it away after any necessary lookup.
Healthier Replacement
Engage with the group fully — explain a concept, ask a question. Collaboration beats solitary scrolling.
