Phone Habits
Phone in Class or Lectures
Learn more by keeping the phone away while studying.
Why This Habit Is Harmful
A phone on the desk during class splits your attention even when unused — its mere presence reduces comprehension and memory. You think you are multitasking, but you are trading understanding for distraction and lower grades.
How to Break It
- 1Keep the phone in a bag, not on the desk.
- 2Use a focused note-taking method by hand.
- 3Silence all notifications during class.
- 4If needed for notes, use airplane mode.
- 5Reward yourself with a phone break between classes.
Healthier Replacement
Take handwritten notes and ask one question per lecture. Engagement replaces the lure of the screen.
