Keep my phone upstairs in the evening
HABIT #30
Starting Thursday, 5 January 2023 | Day 16
Details & Clarification
At 21.30 in the evening I usually go downstairs to chill. I want to keep my phone upstairs so I don’t scroll through Instagram, Facebook, and the news all night.
Starting point & Lessons from the past
I’ve only done this once or twice in the past month, it’s pretty easy to do, but it’s kind of a habit to bring my phone with me wherever I go.
Why this habit is important to me:
- I want to be more intentional about how I spend my evenings. I know if I have my phone next to me, I spend quite some time on activities that don’t really fulfill me but require very little energy.
Identities I want to build with this habit:
- Intentional
Trigger:
- I’ve added it to my daily shutdown ritual and also set an alarm on my phone to remind me.
Tracking:
- I will track this habit in my Akiflow app.
Habit boosters (things that will help me follow through):
- Public accountability: Having it part of this public challenge will boost my motivation to follow through.
Obstacle battleplans (how I’ll deal with potential obstacles):
- Forgetting: I’ve added an alarm in my phone as an extra reminder so I’m less likely to forget.
