I have had this habit of checking my phone every 5 minutes or so without any special reason. How often do you do that? Following article may help you determine whether you are or not.

How to know if you’re a habitual checker?

  1. You check your e-mail/texts more than you need to. Sometimes you’re in the middle of an intense project at work and you really do need to check your e-mail constantly. But be honest with yourself – if that’s not the case, your constant checking might be a habit, not a conscious choice.

  2. You’re annoying other people. If you’re ticking off the people closest to you, it’s time to take a look at your smartphone habits.

“If you hear ‘put the phone away’ more than once a day, you probably have a problem,” says Lisa Merlo, a psychologist at the University of Florida.

  1. The thought of not checking makes you break out in a cold sweat. Try this experiment: Put your phone away for an hour. If you get itchy during that time, you might be a habitual checker.

my poor phone gets no love from me. I don't bother checking it. My husband keeps it with him so I don't miss any calls...my call log seems such a lonely place.
