Efficiency in the Digital Age Blog Post

Student- I learned may useful things in the module but one that stood out me was reducing digital distractions. Some specific examples are putting my phone on do not disturb and my laptop on mute so I can focus on the task at hand. Doing this made me complete my assignments a lot quicker. I noticed that I would focus more on my assignments and actually pay attention to what I am doing rather than just getting it done. My grades actually began to raise because I would actually take my time with the assignment and read what it was asking me to do. Ideas you can use could be placing your device on do not disturb for thirty minutes at a time if the student was not able to put his or her phone away for the entire time to get the assignment completed. Advice would be treat it as a reward. Complete the assignment and then look at your device as a reward. I have also noticed the longer I do not look at my phone I forget about it and complete more assignments. Once everything is completed I feel like I have accomplished my task for the day and I can relax for the time being and not have to worry about anything else.
