Avoid distractions while studying
By storing your phone in the Phone Cubbie, you’ll find it easier to concentrate, retain more information, and finish assignments faster — giving you more free time and less stress.
Even if your phone is off, if its on your desk or in your pocket/purse, its is actively distracting you!
Research from the University of Texas at Austin found that even when a smartphone is turned off and placed face down on a desk, its mere presence measurably reduces working memory and problem-solving ability — a phenomenon researchers call “brain drain.”
