Why putting away my phone was the key to studying effectively?

I thought I could multitask—study with my phone nearby, check messages between paragraphs. But research shows multitasking is a myth; our brains just switch rapidly between tasks, losing focus each time . I finally tried the 'phone in another room' method. Complete game changer.

My study sessions became shorter but way more productive. I'd spend 45 minutes completely focused, then check my phone as a reward. I got more done in two hours than I used to in four. If you're constantly distracted, try leaving your phone in another room or using an app locker. The focus gain is incredible.
