1. ATTENTION AND CONCENTRATION<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few tips in general:
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I'm in active mode<\/strong> (I go online when I want to), I'm not reactive (notifications to pay attention to something) \u2013 I'm not a firefighter<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Check and reply routine<\/strong> \u2013 I use all social networks, emails and communicators as much as possible in my browser (www.messenger.com and web.whatsapp.com) and I go there from time to time in dedicated blocks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chocolate rule<\/strong> \u2013 I also enjoy and attract me online. I approach it like chocolate \u2013 either I have it at my disposal and I can endure it, I still don't hang there (discipline and will), or I prevent access to it (various blockages and obstacles) and at the same time I accept that I am just there sometimes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have the ringer turned off<\/strong>, I only turn it on when I'm waiting for a call, otherwise I call back. This protects my attention to current activity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have turned off all notifications<\/strong> and the number of notifications for application icons except sms and calls. This protects my attention to current activity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I'm using snooze emails<\/strong> in Gmail. This slows down communication, which is not urgent<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I use the Unread folder instead of All in Gmail mobile app<\/strong>. In the field, I only see new emails that may be urgent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I don't have social networking app icons on my mobile home screen<\/strong>. So that they don't just distract me, I'm also wondering if anyone is writing.<\/p>\n
