Can’t live without checking your phone every 5 minutes? Spend at least 3 hours on social media a day? You probably need a social media detox!
If you can’t stop Instagramming, Snapchatting and Facebooking whilst studying, you’ve most likely already discovered how distracting this can be.
年代o, let me take you through all the reasons you should probably put the phone down and take a social media detox!

Which ‘Symptoms’ Do You Have?
许多年级的学生患有下面的症状之一（我自己包括）。
如果您有任何这些症状，那么您在12年级中需要短期社交媒体排毒的标志！
年代ocial Media Withdrawal Pains
- You experience social media withdrawal pains – if you haven’t checked your Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp in 5 minutes, you feel this strange compulsion and itch that is completely irresistible to check your accounts to see what’s happening.
- If you don’t check your accounts frequently, like a smoker you start to feel anxious, and start pacing or tapping your leg incessently
手机'裸露'
- 当你没有手机或耗尽电池时，你会感到裸体和脆弱。像糟糕的事情会发生。
- 它会强调你，所以你围绕额外的电池充电器包或充电电缆。
- You’re one of these weird people always looking for a spare plug point so you can charge your phone or tablet
Multiple Device Syndrome
- While you’re watching TV, you’re also using your phone to check Facebook, and scrolling through Instragram pictures – and this is during the actual show (not just during the ads!)
- You get bored really quickly with the show, and constantly refresh your social media accounts in the hope that there’s something new
If you think you have any of these symptoms, a social media detox may be just what you need.
While we aren’t advocating quitting social media cold turkey or forever there are many benefits to starting Year 12 by stopping social media use for a few weeks.
我为什么要排毒？
Reason #1: It’s Distracting
它超级容易在线在线在线，没有实际实现任何成就 - 你知道每5分钟刷新你的新闻饲料每5分钟不会产生你以前没有看到的任何东西，但你无法自行帮助。
This takes away from valuable study time and leaves you more stressed when you have to start the work you’ve been putting off.
如果您是一个点击诱饵（如我自己），从社交媒体休息可能超级有用，以帮助尽量减少分心和时间浪费。
如果你很奇怪地看待你最花的社交媒体以及多长时间的检查这个应用程序。最近下载了这一点，我可以说结果非常关注。
原因＃2：它会降低注意力跨度
直到12年级，您可能在Facebook上进行了研究或您的手机附近，并潜意识地检查每隔几分钟的更新。
Constantly checking news feeds leads to a shorter attention span, which breaks up studying.
这会导致研究中断，因为你的焦点通常意味着你必须学习更长时间，以了解没有人想要的事实！
Reason #3: You Can Be More Productive
If you are not using social media during the week it will allow you to study productively and without pausing every few minutes to check status updates and tweets.
你漫无目的地通过Facebook所花费的时间，现在可以做一个更好的任务是学习，与朋友一起出去玩，运动或爱好！
原因＃4：你可以进入常规
通过不断检查状态更新等，您可以更专注和驱动。
当您尝试建立学习程序和/或更改日常内容以适应新要求时，这种心态真的很有用。
通过从社交媒体休息，您可以通过计划备受关注的全部注意力，而不是不断分散注意力，而不是进入某个例程。
What now?
Now that you’ve decided to make the change and stop using social media for a while you’re probably wondering how to stop — right?
Below we’ve got some simple and easy to implement suggestions on how you can reduce or stop social media time in order to have an effective detox.
重要的是要注意，我们并没有建议您永远退出社交媒体，而我们希望您能够更有效地使用您的时间。
How to Decrease Your Social Media Usage
年代trategy #1: Set a Time Limit
为您在社交媒体上允许自己花费的频率设置时间限制。如果您在Facebook上每天下午花费，请在第一周尝试每周削减到1或2小时。然后越来越少，随着术语的进展。
年代trategy #2: Download a Self-Control App
安装自交（osx）或者Coldturkey（Windows）— This is an app that blocks websites of your choosing for a certain amount of time.
If you don’t know what to block I’ve included a snapshot of my self-control blocks just below.
年代trategy #3: Leave Your Phone in Another Room
There’s actually no need to have your phone next to you while you work – it’s simply a temptation!
Often times, out of habit, you pick up your phone while working purely because you’re used to checking it every 5 minutes.
This chews into your work time and concentration massively!
You’re much better off leaving it in another room where you won’t be tempted to pick it up.
年代trategy #4: Turn Your Phone Off
如果没有上述工作，为什么不关闭手机？
当我说出我的意思是“关闭电源”，而不仅仅是“待机”模式。
That way, you won’t even hear that notification or buzz go off, which means you can focus completely on your studies.
How to Undergo a Social Media Detox
年代tep 1:Delete unnecessary apps from your phone.
第2步: Block social media sites using a computer app like ‘self control’.
年代tep 3:Get a family member/ friend to change your password (make sure they don’t forget it!)
年代tep 4:Give your phone/tablet to your parents when you get home from school and don’t collect it until the following morning.
年代tep 5:Create rules e.g. no social media on weekdays, Facebook only after 9
年代tep 6:If you feel ready delete/deactivate you accounts – you can still have a detox without completing this step.
希望您受到启发，在您的计算机上放下手机并阻止网站，直到您确实建立了您的学习惯例。
祝你好运！
