Apps play tricks on you to turn an activity into a habit. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to encourage healthy behaviors such as exercising with the help of apps or playing word games. ___1___ Here’s how to recognize when your tech habit might be an unwelcome addiction, and practical steps for you to take back control.
Do a cost-benefit analysis (分析).
It’s hard to be mindful of why you start a habit or do what you do. ___2___ A promise of a reward for exercising more with an app could motivate you when you feel lazy. But if you’re so motivated by the reward that you ignore signs your body needs a rest, then it might be an unhealthy habit.
Trick yourself.
___3___ Then a small device that cuts off your home internet connection at 10 o’clock every night can be of help. You could have pulled yourself out of bed to turn the Wi-Fi back on, but this extra effort may be enough to break unwanted bedtime scrolling (刷屏).
___4___
It can be helpful to plan in advance activities that might be a distraction. If your teen knows he’s allowed one hour on YouTube at 7 p.m., then he can relax without wasting time thinking about when he’ll be able to have access to his favorite app.
Make it a joint effort.
