Riya has to complete a project, but she repeatedly checks phone notifications during study time. Which step is most appropriate for managing her time?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Keep the phone on silent and away during study time, and set a fixed time for the task
Notifications create an external distraction and interrupt sustained attention. Keeping the phone silent and physically away, then assigning a definite time block to the project, reduces interruptions and gives the task a clear place in the schedule. Checking every notification, postponing the work, or starting many unscheduled tasks increases distraction and weakens time management.
