Controlling smartphone use: the mobile sleeping bag

Lounge

I just thought about this because sometimes members want to quit the forum because they spend too much time here.

The mobile sleepingbag is a little pouch where you can put your phone inside to remember not to use it. Here in Norway they were giving them away to students. Often the pouch will have a inscription like “take the time back”.

I’m using a pouch that originally are for my reading glasses, but my phone fits nicely inside, so it serves the same purpose.

I’ve only been doing this for a little while, but it seems to help a lot. It helps to draw out your inner child and imagine the phone needs to sleep :slightly_smiling_face:

Anyways, maybe something to try if you feel the phone controls you, more than you do it.

I use a pouch for my cellphone when I put it in my purse, but it’s because I want to protect the phone from scratches from all the other crap I carry in my purse
