Whether you simply need to focus or are after a digital detox.

It’s a fact of life. The flashing of a phone screen due to the number of notifications that occur on a daily basis can be incredibly distracting.

In order to stop the distraction and allow ourselves a) the chance to focus on something other than our phones and b) take a mini digital detox, we’ve discovered how you can minimize the drawcard of your phone, whether it be an iPhone or an Android.
