We lose a lot of time to our phones, whether we communicating and having fun, or writing on their inbuilt notepads because we can’t get to our computers. Despite this, there’s no problem with playing around on your phone; there's a reason so many games exist on app stores for you to mess around on whenever the fancy takes you. However, that doesn’t mean they’re not distracting and keep you from getting on with some good work!
So we want to be a little more productive with what we can get up to on them. It doesn’t even have to be because people look down on your for being on your phone, but that you feel like you’re stagnating a little every time you look at it. Thankfully, there’s plenty of things to get on with on your cell phone, so use a few of these ideas to get more done and feel a little more creative about your time.
Download a Learning App
When you have a few spare minutes to yourself, you can turn to your phone to learn something new. Even if you don’t have any apps on your cell to use, the instant connection to the internet either via wifi or your 4G means there’s plenty of websites for you to visit when you’re commuting or you’re just sitting around with nothing else to do. Plus, with websites being prioritised if they’re mobile friendly, it doesn’t have to be a hard stretch to find something accessible.
With things like Duolingo, which is entirely free to use, you can learn an entire new life skill in the form of another language whenever you have a spare moment. You can devote more and more time to it when you get into the habit, and it’s a good habit forming activity to get into, so try it out now!
