Android’s Digital Wellbeing can
help keep your focus from shifting
to apps that aren’t work-related
especially when smudgy fingerprints make it hard to
read. It’s very easy to do. All you need is to wipe it
down with a disinfecting wipe and then discard the
used wipe. Just don’t forget to wash your hands after
you’re done.
After your phone is nice and clean, the best way
to keep it that way is to not touch it, naturally. So
invest in a stylus. Of course, if you’re using a Samsung
Galaxy Note you have one built in, but you can use
any number of ‘dumb’ styli on any touchscreen phone
that will mimic your taps and swipes. You probably
won’t be able to work as quickly as you would with
your fingers, but it’ll be great for answering calls and
swiping away notifications.
Block time-sucking apps
Your phone is a fantastic tool for productivity at home,
but it can also be a serious
time suck. So if you need a
little help staying away from
Twitter, Facebook and Candy
Crush, your phone can give
you an assist.
On Android phones
