This way you\u2019ll be able to focus on what really matters and make the most of your time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clean up your apps<\/strong>: you probably don&#8217;t use all the apps installed on your mobile. Ask yourself which ones are essential and which you can do without. Delete the latter and you\u2019ll have less distractions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Avoid using your mobile as an alarm clock: <\/strong>turn it off completely when you go to bed and you will avoid the temptation to look at it in the middle of the night or as soon as you wake up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get away from your mobile<\/strong>: leave it out of your reach and create a space between you and the mobile.
