If, on the other hand, you want to beat your smartphone addiction slowly and/or at your own pace, you can start doing that by setting limits. If your work involves social media, then you obviously have to spend a sufficient amount of time on there. But that doesn’t mean you need to spend the entire day on your phone/social media. Set a few hours (per day) to do your work and once you’ve finished your work within that timeframe, don’t use your phone.  

Take into account how many hours you really need to do your work. Once you’ve established the number of hours, you can determine how much time you need without going overboard. For instance, if you need to spend three hours a day to do your work then spend the next two hours doing other tasks that don’t involve your phone. It’s all about finding a balance and being in control of your actions.
