各类让你无法专心完成任务的应用软件数不胜数,从YouTube到让你眼花缭乱的Facebook.Freedom(Mac和Windows售价为10美元)这款软件能让你锁住电脑,无法上网.如果想在时间结束前上网的话,你就得重启电脑了.如果你的工作必须得上网的话,倒不妨试试anti-social软件,价格为15美元,它能让你锁住自己选定的服务,而非整个网络.

8. Move your charger. 充电器挪位置

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.

电池寿命是大多数移动设备的致命弱点,这意味着我们不少人每天都奔波于充电插头之间.在你家里面找一个专用充电处,确保它在你的听觉范围之内而又不那么触手可及.然后每天回家后要做的,就是放下手机,让它慢慢充满电.如果要打电话的话,别将它从充电线上拔下,这样你就不会在打完电话后又将它带走.

9. Automate your attention. 自动设置

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.

连手机厂商们都知道我们过度使用手机,他们也因此设计了"免打扰"(苹果操作系统)和"静音"(安卓系统)模式.这些功能能让一些VIP客户无论何时都能联系上你,让邮件、短信和其他人的来电静音.这两种功能都可设定为在特定时间和地点自动开启,当然如果你想休息几分钟的话也可以临时关闭或打开.

10. Shame yourself. 以此为耻

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.

如果你曾看过你在手机上玩单人纸牌游戏所花的时间的话,你就会知道正视事实的痛苦了.随着断网也能用的软件的发展,现在还有一类软件专门记录你所浪费的时间.一旦开启这种软件,你很快就可以直面现状并想采取有意义的措施.Moment(仅有iOS版本)记录你每天在手机上所花费的时间,包括你解锁的次数,然后让你减少使用的次数.安卓软件Menthal详细记录了你手机使用的软件,然后将它和其他用户作比较,来给你增加一点同龄人压力,激发出改变的灵感.
