十條妙招助你戒掉手機
10 tips for disconnecting from tech
If the last face you see at night is the home screen of your glowing tablet, and the first is the email app of your smartphone, you officially need to cut it out. Here are 10 quick and easy ways to tap the brakes without resorting to hermithood or a life without ESPN updates.
如果你每晚入睡前是和平板的熒光屏幕道晚安,早晨起床后最先看見的又是手機郵件應用的話,你的確需要和他們告?zhèn)�別了.接下來的10個小妙招既能教你放下各類設備,而又不至于過上隱士般的生活,無法享受ESPN電視臺的實時更新.
1. Get a dumb watch. 買塊"笨"表
The average smartphone owner consults his device an astonishing 195 times per day. Nip the knee-jerk habit at the source and strap on a good old-fashioned watch. Definitely not a smart one, preferably a mechanical one.
手機用戶平均每天看手機的次數(shù)達到了驚人的195次.從源頭改掉這個本能習慣,去買塊質(zhì)量不錯的老式手表吧.千萬別是智能手表,最好是老式機械表.
2. Pick up a paper. 重拾紙媒
Instead of hitting up a social network or a newspaper app to breeze through news summaries and half-read a few articles, grab a paper and be amazed at how relaxing it is to read through the day's news. Not only that, we found our attention span has increased and we don't abandon as many articles. And fret not at the expense. Even the New York Times is $9 a week for home delivery, plus digital access.
別再在社交網(wǎng)絡或者報紙軟件上瀏覽新聞或者看文章了吧.你若能再拿起報紙就會發(fā)現(xiàn),每天看看新聞是一件多么放松的事.除此之外,我們還發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣更能集中注意力,不會讓我們看文章時半途而廢.費用也無需擔心,《紐約時報》每周送到家也才9美元,其中這還包括網(wǎng)絡版呢.
3. Listen to airwaves. 聽聽廣播
Again, not a radio stream from your phone or desktop. Blow the dust off your old clock radio or handheld transistor, plug it in, and be amazed at how vital radio still can be. More importantly, you won't be tempted to check other apps and websites.
再說一遍,這可不是你手機和電腦里的廣播軟件.拿出你的老式收音機鬧鐘或者晶體管收音機,吹去灰塵,插上電源,我想你一定會驚嘆它的重要性.更重要的是,你不會受到手機的誘惑,想要去瀏覽軟件和網(wǎng)頁.
4. Sever social media ties. 切斷社網(wǎng)
We love hitting up Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to keep tabs on friends and relations. If you aren't willing to walk away from this ritual of keeping up with digital Joneses, then consider consolidating down to one service and picking a dedicated daily time for checking in — at your lunch break or at the gym, ideally. And turn off app and email notifications for the services you use, so you aren't tempted by all those little red badges.
