1. Stop putting your life and those of the people around you in danger

Walking around with your face buried in your smartphone dramatically increases your risk of tripping over objects running into people, falling into a hole or open drainage and at most, getting hit by a vehicle. You might want to quickly reply a text, watch a video playback or skip songs in your playlist while on the road, just stop by the roadside so you won’t put yourself or anybody else in danger. The same goes for when you're driving, you can always pullover and sort things out with your device. Lastly, be watchful of where you take selfies, quite a number of people who wanted to look brave by taking pictures in dangerous places didn't live to see what the selfie looked like.

2. Stop using your phone while talking to people or during meetings

One habit that people now see as socially acceptable is using their phone while talking to someone else, this is still very much rude and disrespectful, anybody you’re having a physical conversation with deserves your full attention. Put away your smartphone when talking to waiters or cashiers, don’t hold up the queue or make somebody’s meal late because you feel your smartphone is more important than the worker in front of you. I was guilty of this on with my oukitel k6000 plus and oukitel u11 plus

You might be playing on your smartphone during a meeting and thinking nobody is noticing you simply because they’re not yet pissed enough to caution you. No matter how discreet you think you’re being, people always notice. This act is as bad as it is unprofessional, it will only make you look very incompetent to your co-workers and superiors.

3. Stop calling off hangout plans just to be with your smartphone

With the wide range of apps available on app stores, you can always find something interesting to keep you busy with your device but ruling off a purported hangout plan simply for this reason is not thoughtful. You can easily end up with little or no friends at all by doing that, there’s always something better to enjoy out there with friends and family.
