How do you guys focus?

I am an cell phone addict and cannot focus on anything. I have anxiety and my life is shit what should i do ?

just put the phone down for a couple days & try to get out there, ik it seems like that has nothing to do with focusing but I did that and ever since I can concentrate way more

Yup, balancing your life in and out of technology is a good idea.
I've never been depressed and can't really offer any specific help but trying to meetup with friends is always nice too.

I just put those things down. It is pretty hard but if you have self-control you shouldn't pick it up. I would recommend going to a doctor to prescribe medication for your anxiety, I promise you it'll change your life.

Listen to music gives me all the focus i need ^^ It is quiet good to listen to nice and calm music while working ^_^

Turn off my phone and all notifications. And try to find interest in whatever I need to focus about.

dang, maybe just try getting out there in small intervals, then gradually progress

If you're really addicted to your phone it might help to see a counselor. I find it hard to focus sometimes when I think too much about the future and overthink in general.

Give your phone to a family member to hide it somewhere you can't find and try to not think about it , erase the memory of the phone from your head , play your favorite video game , read your favorite book or watch a good movie with your family, you don't need your phone to have fun or to relax , the phone is just a tool of communication , if you want to speak with someone go to their place and hangout , you don't have to text them.
