Tips for teenagers that would make life easier (part one).
Everyday I wake up, there’s this feeling that today will be different. I will workout, do my lessons, homework, self study, help others, but somehow as the day passes by I know exactly what I should be doing in the moment but I prefer (my toxic self precisely) to scroll through social media. I want to stop because it is frustrating and stressful but somehow I just can’t, and I know for a fact that there are others who suffer in the same way, irrespective of the age.
So here are a few tips to become not the best version of yourself but definitely better one. These methods work for me and I try to stick on to them as much as possible and I really hope it’d work out for you as well.

LET’S BEGIN:
If you want to wake up early in the morning do not keep your phone under your pillow. In that way it becomes easier for you to hit that “alarm off” button or snooze it for the next five minutes. Instead keep the phone at the other corner of the room or if possible keep it in a different room (just make sure that you are able to hear the ringtone). In this way when the alarm starts ringing you have to get up from your bed to turn it off.
Tip: If you have a window don’t put the curtains on so that in the morning, when the sunlight falls on your face you will wake up.
If you want to do your homework or self study without any distractions keep your phone away and don’t put anything on the study table. If you get a lot of notifications (just like I do) turn off your notifications button or put your phone on silent mode and keep it in a different room. I’m sure you might be having at least one strict parent or siblings, so you can inform them that they must not let you go near your phone unless you are done with your work (This might be a nightmare for you at the beginning but it’s needed, trust me you will thank yourself for it just after a few days).
