各類讓你無法專心完成任務的應用軟件數不勝數,從YouTube到讓你眼花繚亂的Facebook.Freedom（Mac和Windows售價為10美元）這款軟件能讓你鎖住電腦,無法上網.如果想在時間結束前上網的話,你就得重啟電腦了.如果你的工作必須得上網的話,倒不妨試試anti-social軟件,價格為15美元,它能讓你鎖住自己選定的服務,而非整個網絡.
8. Move your charger. 充電器挪位置
Battery life continues to be the Achilles heal of most mobile devices, which means many of us rush between charging sessions all day. Find a dedicated place at home to charge your device that's within earshot, but not convenient, and make it a daily ritual to come home, remove the phone from your person and leave it there even if it's fully charged already. If you need to take a call, keep it locked to the charging cable so you aren't tempted to walk away with it afterward.
電池壽命是大多數移動設備的致命弱點,這意味著我們不少人每天都奔波于充電插頭之間.在你家里面找一個專用充電處,確保它在你的聽覺范圍之內而又不那么觸手可及.然后每天回家后要做的,就是放下手機,讓它慢慢充滿電.如果要打電話的話,別將它從充電線上拔下,這樣你就不會在打完電話后又將它帶走.
9. Automate your attention. 自動設置
Even our device makers know that we use them too much, which is why they have built-in functions like Do Not Disturb (iOS) or Silent mode (Android). Those allow you to designate certain VIP contacts who can reach you at all times, but silences emails, texts and other communications from anyone else. Both can be automated so that they are time-based or location-based, or can be switched on or off ad hoc if you want a few minutes of rest.
連手機廠商們都知道我們過度使用手機,他們也因此設計了"免打擾"（蘋果操作系統）和"靜音"（安卓系統）模式.這些功能能讓一些VIP客戶無論何時都能聯系上你,讓郵件、短信和其他人的來電靜音.這兩種功能都可設定為在特定時間和地點自動開啟,當然如果你想休息幾分鐘的話也可以臨時關閉或打開.
10. Shame yourself. 以此為恥
If you've ever taken a gander at the running tally of the time you've spent playing solitaire, you know the pain that comes from looking in the mirror. Along with apps that cut off Internet access, there's also a category that tallies up how much time you waste. Set them running, and you'll quickly hit rock bottom and find inspiration to take meaningful measures. Moment (iOS only) keeps tabs on the amount of time you use your phone per day, including the number of times you unlock it, and lets you clamp down services, too. Menthal, for Android, tallies up in detail how much you use your phone, with what apps, and then compares it with other users for a little added peer pressure and possible inspiration.
