SUMMARY
Every time I post a quote about focusing on my Instagram or Facebook I get a lot of mails from you guys. In term of: Hey Chris, I really want to focus but I´m so addicted to my mobile that I just can´t and can you help me with that? Mobile phone addiction is something that becomes increasingly more in our society. And first of all we have to understand why we get addicted. And the thing is every time this machine makes a noise or a sound or it vibrates we get a little DOPAMINE kick in our brain just like people to alcohol do.
So the question is not how to get rid of it but how to enjoy responsibly?
I think I will do a longer format video in the next weeks where I go really deep into the topic but here is 1 quick advise for those of you who really struggle with mobile phone addiction.
After these 4 times you get a longer break for maybe 30 minutes or maybe an hour and you can do again with your mobile what ever you want without feeling guilty and just enjoying the mobile experience. You have to educate and condition your mind that is has to get along for 25 minutes concentrating on any task and then it gets 5 minutes of DOPAMINE. But you have to get of try to get the DOPAMINE kick on a constant level. Tell your family, your friends, your boss or whoever that you will be offline for certain times. This is key.
You do this for several days and if you managed to stand this 25 minutes then you can gradually increase it even up to 40 minutes however you feel and what you wanna achieve. My current rhythm is that I go for 50 minutes flight mode and then for 5 minutes DOPAMINE. I wouldn’t go longer because then you start to cheat during this period, you go online again and then the rule is gone. Because you should NEVER break this rule.
