Since January 20th, a news that Wang Dong, a prisoner in Nehe Prison in Heilongjiang Province, used mobile phone WeChat to defraud many women and coerce a woman to have sex in prison has aroused public concern. Yesterday (22nd), Zhou Chao, a reporter from The Paper, reported in detail the whole story of Wang Dong’s fraud in prison. This 28-year-old young man has been imprisoned three times in the ten years since he served his sentence for robbery in 2005, and each time he was charged with different crimes. In the process of "cheating in prison", many prisoners often gather around to make suggestions, and even a short message sent to the victim was actually written by a prison guard.

After the news of Wang Dong’s "cheating in prison" was exposed by the media, his Nehe prison also received attention. According to The Paper, during the six years from 2008 to 2014, at least five inmates committed suicide, three attempted suicides and one prison guard committed suicide after being summoned. Yesterday, the Heilongjiang Provincial Prison Administration announced the case of Wang, a prisoner in Nehe Prison, who was suspected of extortion.

Wang Dong, a criminal of "cheating in prison": After 85 years of three visits to the palace, the prison guard helped him compile short messages.

Prison seems to be no stranger to Wang Dong, a 28-year-old from Lindian County, Heilongjiang Province. Since he served his sentence for robbery in 2005, he has been imprisoned three times in ten years, each time on different charges.

After arriving in Nehe prison in December 2012, he looked more comfortable. In prison, he can get contraband at will without labor. All this is backed by money.

His money comes from the lovers he met outside the prison through WeChat, and he has maintained a lover relationship with at least seven women. The Heilongjiang Provincial Prison Administration announced that Wang Dong defrauded two women of more than 110,000 yuan on the grounds of partnership.

According to the information learned by the reporter, the highest amount of fraud is 80,000 yuan.

Inside and outside the prison, Wang Dong has formed a huge network of contacts, including prisoners, prison guards, relatives, lovers and even business vendors outside the prison. They helped Wang Dong pass contraband and even help him commit fraud.

An insider close to Wang Dong told reporters that Wang Dong chats with his lovers on WeChat, and there are often many prisoners around to make suggestions. Even a short message sent to the victim was actually written by a prison guard.

Wang Dong Prequel: Robbery, Fraud and Kidnapping

When chatting with netizens, Wang Dong’s WeChat name was "Man’s Domineering". This "post-85 s" with only junior high school education has enough "domineering" youth.

On September 7th, 2005, Wang Dong was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment by ranghulu district People’s Court of Daqing City for robbery. On the day of sentencing, he was 58 days short of turning 18.

Four years later, on August 11th, 2009, he was sentenced to one year and six months’ imprisonment and fined 3000 yuan by the People’s Court of Lindian County, Heilongjiang Province.

Three years later, on September 25th, 2012, he was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment and fined 20,000 yuan by the People’s Court of Daqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone for kidnapping.

Three times in prison, and three times on different charges. If the commutation factor is not considered, he will be imprisoned again for up to two years at a time.

In November 2014, when the prison fraud case was committed, his sentence was still three years and three months.

His former home, the Sixth Committee of East Street of Lindian Town, Lindian County, Heilongjiang Province, has rarely been familiar with him. A neighbor in his front and back yard told The Paper that Wang Dong’s father had passed away long ago, and later his mother remarried and moved out of the village, and the house was sold. Wang Dong in her memory, as a child, didn’t leave a deep impression on her.

Wang Dong’s second sister Wang Fang has two shops in Lindian County. A victim of Wang Dong’s fraud case told The Paper that Wang Dong asked her to transfer the money to Wang Fang first, and then Wang Fang handed it over to Wang Dong.

On January 22, the victim asked Wang Fang for money. Wang Fang said that she had received the money, but all of it had been transferred to Wang Dong. The case had nothing to do with her. Wang Fang said that the victim voluntarily lent money to Wang Dong, which was not fraud, and said that he was not afraid of investigation by the public security organs.

Life in prison: lovers bring in 855 yuan kebabs at a time.

On December 7, 2012, Wang Dong came to Nehe Prison. An insider in the prison said that at first, Wang Dong did not take part in labor on the grounds that his leg was disabled. It was not until more than a year later that he put down the crutches that he often walked with. However, because of his "good" relationship with prison guards, he still doesn’t have to take part in labor. The Paper’s information shows that Wang Dong’s life in prison is very comfortable:

He has at least seven lovers, at least three of whom have given him money, and the most has given him 80 thousand yuan before and after. A victim, Li Li (a pseudonym), visited him in prison many times, bringing him things ranging from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan each time.

He has a lot of time, and often chats with his lovers on WeChat and makes phone calls. He often asks Li Li to chat until the early hours of the morning, and Li Li has to go to work the next day, which is too much for her body, but she dare not refuse. He even threatened Li Li to go to prison with nude photos and videos, and had sex with him.

He has many mobile phones, mobile phone numbers and micro-signals. In video chat, he often uses the telecom version of Xiaomi mobile phone, and the signal of China Telecom is very good in prison.

His monthly phone bill is amazing, and many women chatting with him on WeChat recharge his mobile phone number. From January 15th to October 13th, 2014, one of the women recharged Wang Dong’s four mobile phone numbers for a total of 1,770 yuan in less than nine months.

He can get white wine and let his lover buy barbecue from outside the prison and take it in. On June 17, 2014, he suddenly consumed 855 yuan of kebabs. On that day, Wang Dong invited guests to dine with the prisoners in the prison.

According to informed sources, liquor, a contraband in prison, is usually brought in from the outside by the police and mixed in mineral water bottles. In the prison market, the price of a mineral water bottle of white wine is 100 yuan.

He is still gambling in prison. According to the short message he sent to the victim Cai Ying (a pseudonym), he once claimed that he lost a total of 110,000 yuan.

Many sources confirmed to The Paper that Wang Dong’s transit point for contact with the outside world was Kong Deling, a vendor near the prison. All kinds of articles, including contraband, are handed over to the hole by people outside the prison, and then taken to the prison by the prison guards from Kong Deling and handed over to Wang Dong.

Wang Dong is still gambling in prison. The text message he sent to the victim Cai Ying shows that he once claimed that he lost a total of 110,000. (The Paper)

I once joined the naked chat QQ group.

On December 15, 2013, Wang Dong, the prisoner in the fifth prison area of Nehe Prison, added the prison staff Cai Ying through the "people nearby" function of WeChat. At that time, he had just arrived in Nehe Prison for one year, and Cai Ying became the first lover he met through WeChat in prison.

At that time, his alias was "Wang Hao". Later, after he met his lover Lili (a pseudonym), Wang Dong’s name became "Haotian Wang".

After a period of contact, Wang Dong gradually gained the trust of Cai Ying. Cai Ying, 42, has been divorced for many years. She said, "It is also a spiritual sustenance for someone to care about themselves online."

Judging from the chat records, Wang Dong seems to have a good grasp of people’s psychology. Soon, he called Cai Ying "wife" and promised to marry her after he got out of prison.

According to people close to Wang Dong, Wang Dong was the same when chatting with Li Li later. He even said that he kept the nude photos of Li Li because he loved her.

The chat records between Wang Dong and Cai Ying show that Wang Dong often swears, but he always cares about each other in every possible way.

What the reporter learned shows that Wang Dong’s two lovers, in the same area, are familiar with each other and know each other’s relationship with Wang Dong. Before the incident, Wang Dong also learned that the situation was not good, and one of his lovers also helped him find out the wind. According to another person familiar with the matter, Wang Dong also joined a QQ group with the theme of naked chat and met at least one woman here.

People familiar with the matter also said that Wang Dong is proud of having many lovers and often shows it off in front of prison inmates.

According to the reporter’s understanding, after a woman went to prison and had sex with Wang Dong, Wang Dong said that she "felt very proud".

The police helped to compile text messages and send them to the victims.

After meeting Cai Ying for a month, Wang Dong admitted that he was a prisoner. Cai Ying deleted his contact information several times, but Wang Dong kept calling Cai Ying, pleading with Cai Ying to believe him and telling his family address and family status.

He claims to be a businessman, with a car and a house at home and a hot pot restaurant. He said that even if he can’t be a lover, he hopes to be ordinary friends with Cai Ying. Under his constant pestering, Cai Ying later agreed.

After continuing to be friends for nearly two months, on March 8, 2014, Wang Dong asked Cai Ying to call the account of "Han Zhifeng" to buy a mobile phone in 1000 yuan on the grounds of mobile phone failure. A week later, he asked Cai Ying to send 10,000 yuan to the account of "Xu Weidong" (Wang Dong’s second brother-in-law) on the grounds that commutation required money.

After borrowing money twice, Wang Dong borrowed money from Cai Ying for various reasons, such as paying off gambling debts, and mortgaged his car and house at home. He also swore to pay back the money before July 15, 2014.

Cai Ying told reporters that Wang Dong borrowed more than 80,000 yuan from her.

However, when the promised deadline came, Wang Dong still didn’t pay back the money. He sent a text message to Cai Ying, saying that as long as Cai Ying wrote a certificate of voluntary borrowing, he would pay back the money.

After Cai Ying wrote the materials and signed them, she sent them to her second sister, Wang Fang, according to Wang Dong’s request, but Wang Dong still didn’t pay back the money.

Cai Ying said that her monthly salary is only 900 yuan, which is her savings for many years. In order to raise money for Wang Dong, she also borrowed usury. Up to now, the interest alone has returned more than three thousand yuan.

A person close to Wang Dong said that the message was written by a prison guard and sent to Cai Ying by Wang Dong. He said that when Wang Dong chats with women, there are often many prisoners around to make suggestions, and occasionally prison guards are involved.

After the case of Wang Dong in November 2014, Cai Ying handed over all the evidence materials to the prison investigation section of Nehe Prison, claiming that she had been defrauded, but Nehe Prison has not given Cai Ying any reply so far.

(In order to protect the privacy of the parties, Li Li and Cai Ying are both pseudonyms.)

On June 15th, China railway freight reform was officially launched. This is the first reform launched after the establishment of China Railway Corporation, aiming at realizing the transformation of railway transportation organization from internal production to market-oriented, and taking this as a breakthrough to promote the overall reform of railway transportation. The railway freight reform will simplify the freight procedures, and you can apply for freight online by surfing the Internet or making a phone call, and implement the "door-to-door" full-time "one-price" charge. The reform will promote the transformation of railway freight to modern logistics.

According to reports, this railway freight organization reform is a comprehensive transformation of the previous freight organization work, which mainly includes four aspects:

The first is to reform the way of accepting freight.By simplifying procedures, broadening channels and opening up receiving goods, we will provide our customers with the most direct, simple and fastest service. The so-called simplified procedures are to cancel the complicated procedures such as declaration of freight plan, request for car and recognition of car. As long as the customer puts forward the transportation demand, the railway customer service staff will directly help the customer to complete the freight formalities, and the customer does not need to contact other departments and personnel. Broadening channels means that customers can choose telephone, internet and other ways to contact delivery. Open receipt refers to the railway’s capacity guarantee for large and stable goods such as coal and oil through agreed transportation; For industrial machinery, electronic appliances, daily necessities and other goods, customers demand them at any time, and the railway accepts them at any time, so as to be on hand.

Five ways of contacting railway delivery after railway freight reform

The second is to reform the mode of transportation organization.Make transportation plan according to customers’ transportation demand, arrange shipment in time, and improve transportation efficiency.

The third is to clean up and standardize freight charges.All charges are subject to "one-price quotation and one-invoice verification", so as to strictly implement the national freight rate policy, adhere to legal compliance, open and transparent charges, and win the market by relying on the freight rate advantage of railways.

Fourth, vigorously develop the "door-to-door" logistics service of the railway.Build a "door-to-door" pick-up and delivery network, realize "door-to-door" full-time "one-price" charging, and promote the transformation of railway freight to modern logistics.

According to Cheng Xiandong, director of the Transportation Bureau of the Railway Corporation,Railway freight mainly deals with the following businesses:One is the whole train transportation, such as coal, oil, ore, etc. The second is vehicle transportation. Third, railway express freight trains, including postal and parcel trains. The fourth is container transportation. Fifth, the transportation of special goods, such as cars, large pieces and refrigerated fresh goods. Sixth, LTL cargo transportation. Seventh, high-speed rail express, which provides intercity small parcel express service.

Grab the bill with air freight

It is worth noting that among the seven major businesses, high-speed rail express is a highlight in the reform of total freight transportation.

It is understood that high-speed rail express uses high-speed rail to confirm trains and passenger EMU trains, and provides small parcel express services such as "Day of the Day" or "Next Morning" between cities. This will greatly improve the speed of freight transportation, and compete with air freight for orders.

High-speed rail express will be the highlight of railway freight reform

The so-called "high-speed rail confirmation train" refers to the first EMU that runs every day on each high-speed rail line. It does not carry passengers, and it mainly carries public works and power supply personnel. It mainly checks the lines that are blocked at night that day to ensure the safe operation of the passenger EMUs that follow.

Some netizens have long called for the high-speed rail to confirm that the train is loaded, so as to avoid the waste of empty cars.

Railway related people also said that in the off-season of passenger transport, the phenomenon of empty seats and empty carriages of EMUs is common, so it is a very good way to use them to carry goods.

Visible convenience

On June 15th, the first day of railway freight reform in China, the lobby of Dahongmen Business Department of Beijing Railway Freight Center was much quieter than before. This surprised Wu Yanxia, the business manager of Beijing Hongsheng Shunda Transportation Co., Ltd., who successfully handled the first business of the day.

"Now make a phone call and go online, and you will complete the delivery application. We talk more, the railway runs more errands, the procedures are less, and the procedures are reduced. This kind of reform is really good. " Wu Yanxia introduced that this time I applied for a boxcar and three containers online, and the receiving places were Handan Station in Hebei Province, Binxi Station in Heilongjiang Province, Tuanjie Village Station in Chongqing and Wanzhou Station in Sichuan Province. In the past, to handle the same batch of goods, you had to apply for a monthly plan at least one month in advance, and you had to make at least four or five trips to the station and business department, and the required vehicles were often not cashed.

Simplification of freight procedures: you can ask for transportation when you are sitting at home.

At 17: 30 on June 15th, Wang Fang, business director of Xinjiang New Grain Oil Co., Ltd. Transit Branch, hurried to the freight business hall of Wubei Station of Urumqi Railway Bureau. This is where she "worked" every day for 10 years. However, she didn’t come here today to "ask for a freight plan" or "request a car", but to feel the transformation of railway freight acceptance methods from 18: 00.

The reform of railway freight transport is known as the first shot to the market after the separation of government and enterprise, and its biggest highlight is "simplifying procedures, opening up acceptance and doing it on demand". According to Yang Chunlei, deputy director of Beijing Freight Center, before the railway freight reform, shippers need to apply for the next month’s plan at the station before the 10th of each month. After the monthly plan is approved, go to the station to copy the approved plan number and number of cars. Before delivery, you have to go to the station to submit a request for a daily train plan and fill in the cargo waybill. Go to the station to handle other related delivery procedures after requesting the approval of the train day plan. There are many round trips, which involve a lot of energy and high transportation cost, which brings a lot of inconvenience to the owner.

Speaking of the past, Wang Fang has many hard stories: "In the past, when delivering goods to the railway freight yard, from submitting the transportation plan and applying for the plan number to finally loading the car and paying the freight, the formalities were very cumbersome, and he often had to choose other modes of transportation."

Nowadays, the railway department has simplified the freight handling procedures and provided our customers with five kinds of freight handling channels, namely, logging in to the 12306 website, calling the 12306 customer service number, calling the freight station to receive the call, handling at the freight business premises and contacting the railway marketing personnel for on-site service. The customer only needs to click "I want to deliver the goods", and the railway customer service staff will take the initiative to contact the customer, ask for detailed demand information and make a quotation; As long as the customer approves, the relevant procedures such as filling in the waybill and handling the business will be handled by the railway customer service staff, which is convenient and fast.

"Starting today, I can put forward the transportation demand while sitting in my office or even at home." Wang Fang said.

After the reform, the procedures for iron ship freight transportation will be greatly simplified.

Reforming transportation organization mode: developing "door-to-door" whole logistics service

In addition to reforming the mode of freight acceptance, the railway has also vigorously reformed the mode of transportation organization. Make transportation plan according to customers’ transportation demand, arrange shipment in time, and improve transportation efficiency. In particular, we will vigorously develop the "door-to-door" whole-course logistics service of railways and accelerate the transformation of railway freight into modern logistics.

On June 15th, Hohhot Railway Bureau loaded 10,016 cars, with a cargo delivery volume of 693,000 tons, a record high since its establishment. Since June 1st, the reform of freight organization of Hohhot Railway Bureau has been put into trial operation, and achieved some initial results. Not only key enterprises such as Baotou Steel and Yitai feel that it is convenient to deliver goods, but they can even realize the fixed production by transportation, and scattered customers like Inner Mongolia Fufeng Biotechnology Co., Ltd., which have a variety of products and many delivery destinations, have also benefited greatly.

Not long ago, Ye Qinghua, deputy general manager of Shanghai Shanghai Port Logistics Company, called the freight business department in the northern suburb of Shanghai Freight Center for consultation. He has 10 tons of feed to be transported to Aksu, Xinjiang. Can it be handled? According to the past situation, the 10 tons of bulk cargo will be transported to Aksu, more than 5,000 kilometers away, and the railway cannot handle direct transportation. After the implementation of the freight reform, the freight business department in the northern suburbs arranged "station-to-door" transportation for customers according to the acceptance method of scattered white goods. After the customs declaration, the goods were loaded into the station, boarded the "China Railway Express" train, transported to Urumqi North Station in five days, and arrived in Aksu in three days through the "seamless docking" of trucks, which solved the urgent needs of the cargo owners.

In recent days, stations and sections of Xi ‘an Railway Bureau have actively promoted the reform of freight organization. For example, Hanzhong Locomotive Depot can make 100% connection and 100% receipt for customers who put forward transportation needs by telephone or online reservation, so as to fully meet diversified transportation needs.

In the three provinces of Guangdong, Hunan and Qiong, the reform is even stronger. Guangzhou Railway Group has continuously increased logistics services such as receiving, loading and unloading, warehousing, packaging, processing and distribution, and the original simple "station-to-station" transportation has become a "door-to-door" service. At present, the shippers in Guangdong, Hunan and Qiong provinces have begun to enjoy this kind of "after-care" service and "extended" service. They can not only provide door-to-door or door-to-door transportation services at the departure station, but also provide personalized needs such as short-distance delivery after the goods arrive at the station. At the same time, Guangzhou Railway Group has continuously developed and promoted the combined transportation modes of railways, highways, waterways and aviation, and laid a "sea, land and air corridor" to further facilitate shippers.

Clean up and standardize freight charges: a quotation, a bill of lading for verification.

The price problem is the most sensitive and concerned issue for the majority of shippers. The railway freight reform pushed for "one-price" charges. The national railways clean up and standardize freight charges, and strictly implement the national freight rate policy. It is not only simple and convenient, but also easy to calculate, and the transportation cost is more transparent and open.

"This railway freight reform, ‘ Door to door ’ Whole journey ‘ A bite price ’ Service, reducing circulation links, saving time and cost, reducing logistics costs, and benefiting customers. I hope that the future railway freight service will be more convenient and fast. " Li Wenming, Zhejiang Jinhua Tieji Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd., is an old customer of the railway, and is ready to develop into a big customer of the railway after the initial reform.

"Now you can swipe your card when you pay, which saves the time for banks to withdraw cash and reduces the inconvenience of carrying a lot of cash. It would be better if railway freight can be paid online in the future. " Wu Yanxia expressed the expectations of the majority of cargo owners for further deepening the reform of the railway.

Yang Liuqing, director of the freight marketing center of Hohhot Railway Bureau, said: "The reform of freight organization has just started, and it is impossible to do it overnight. In the process of reform, there will definitely be such problems, and we will continue to improve. "

Background analysis:

Why should we reform freight transportation?

The person in charge of the Transportation Bureau of China Railway Corporation said that at present, there are many problems in railway freight service, such as complicated procedures, disconnection between transportation organization and market demand, irregular transportation charges and insufficient transparency in capacity distribution. By deepening the reform, the problems of railway freight service will be fundamentally solved, the pace of railway going to the market will be accelerated, and the railway’s ability to cope with market changes will be enhanced.

However, this is not the whole reason. According to the minutes of the railway freight reform meeting held on May 20th, Sheng Guangzu, general manager of China Railway Corporation, said at the meeting that freight is the main source of railway operating income, and whether freight can better adapt to and occupy the market is related to the overall situation of railway survival and development.

Railway Freight Reform Conference Held by Railway Corporation

He introduced that since the beginning of this year, the railway supply has fallen sharply, and the freight volume has dropped significantly. From January to April, the freight delivery volume of the whole railway decreased by 5.7% year-on-year. While the railway freight volume has decreased, the logistics of the whole society has achieved a great increase.

He said: "In this case, if railway freight is still focused on bulk materials, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in market competition."

Whose cheese will the reform move?

According to Sheng Guangzu’s speech on May 20th, the basic idea of this adjustment is:The container transportation business returned to the Railway Bureau, and the related assets were transferred to the Railway Bureau. The container company no longer engaged in the railway transportation organization and management business, and was responsible for the railway container operation and management; Railway luggage carts, luggage compartments, luggage and parcel trains and bases have returned to the railway bureau, and express companies no longer engage in railway transportation organization and management business and become logistics enterprises that provide full logistics services to the society; Special cargo companies focus on expanding the business of commercial vehicles, large pieces and refrigerated transportation, and encourage railway bureaus to participate more in special cargo management.

The reporter contacted the relevant person of China Railway Container, who said, "This is not something that can be clearly stated in one sentence, and I dare not say it now."

Railway-related people believe that this reform has reduced the authority of China Railway Container, China Railway Express and China Railway Special Goods. Originally, they could determine how many trains to run and where to drive, but now this part of the power is vested in the Railway Bureau, and these companies only manage the business of receiving goods, delivering goods and collecting money.There are great benefits in the transportation organization and management business. Ding Shumiao in Liu Zhijun’s case made his fortune by helping people find wagons.

The source said that in addition to the interests of the moving department, there are also the interests of some people, among which the personal operating space of freight forwarders and wagons is small. It turns out that people who do loading, unloading, handling and delivery at the station will have miscellaneous charges. When wagons are tight, planners in some stations can earn up to 10,000 yuan a day.

1. Get a dumb watch. buy a "stupid" watch

The average smartphone owner consults his device an astonishing 195 times per day. Nip the knee-jerk habit at the source and strap on a good old-fashio ned watch. Definitely not a smart one, preferably a mechanical one.

2. Pick up a paper. Pick up the paper media again

Instead of hitting up a social network or a newspaper app to breeze through news summaries and half-read a few articles, grab a paper and be amazed at how relaxing it is to read through the day’s news. Not only that, we found our attention span has increased and we don’t abandon as many articles. And fret not at the expense.

It’s only $9 a week for The New York Times to deliver it home, including the online version.

3. Listen to airwaves. listen to the radio

Again, not a radio stream from your phone or desktop. Blow the dust off your old clock radio or handheld transistor, plug it in, and be amazed at how vital radio still can be. More importantly, you won’t be tempted to check other apps and websites.
Again, this is not the broadcast software in your mobile phone and computer. Take out your old-fashioned radio, alarm clock or transistor radio, blow off the dust and plug it in. I think you will be amazed at its importance. More importantly, you won’t be tempted by mobile phones and want to browse software and web pages.

4. Sever social media ties. 切断社网

We love hitting up Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to keep tabs on friends and relations. If you aren’t willing to walk away from this ritual of keeping up with digital Joneses, then consider consolidating down to one service and picking a dedicated daily time for checking in — at your lunch break or at the gym, ideally. And turn off app and email notifications for the services you use, so you aren’t tempted by all those little red badges.
We are obsessed with browsing Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep in touch with our friends.

And turn off the apps and email reminders you use, so you won’t be tempted by those little red labels!

5. Make a phone stack. stack mobile phones

Today, it seems nearly impossible to put your phone down for 60 consecutive minutes. Phone stacks are a cliché, but they work: Whether dining at home or out on the town, implement a no-device policy, no exceptions. To make it stick, you can place phones in a stack in the center of the table. Even better, have a waiter or coat check place them out of site so no one can break the rules, and there aren’t hard feelings.
Nowadays, it is almost impossible not to watch your mobile phone for an hour in a row. Although the game of "stacking mobile phones" is out of date, it is actually very easy to use: whether you are eating at home or going on a business trip abroad, you should practice the "no mobile phone policy" and there should be no accidents. To make this stick, you can put your mobile phones in the middle of the table and fold them. A better way is to ask the waiter or clothes keeper to put them away from the table, so that they can stick to it easily!

6. Create rules for living. Set rules.

Having general rules for indulging in gadget time are too easy to slack on, just like diets and workouts. Take the next 10 minutes to figure out the hours when your tech is truly indispensable, and then nail down times when it should never be used: dinnertime, when you’re with the kids, and yes, in bed. Be specific and be rigid. Have a designated, inconvenient spot where your device should go during those times so that you don’t cave — a cabinet upstairs, in your car, or in the basement.
It is easy to make a general plan to limit the time spent on mobile phones, just like the original weight loss and fitness. After reading this article, take ten minutes to think about when you have to use these technology products, and then decide when you will never use them: at dinner, with your children, and of course, in bed. The plan must be specific and strict. Also find a home for your mobile phone during these hours, and make sure it is not so convenient and easy to get. You can put it in the cupboard upstairs, in your car or in the basement.

7. Cut the cord. cut the network cable

There are tons of apps dedicated to keeping you from losing focus on whichever task you’re meant to be accomplishing and instead heading down a YouTube or Facebook rabbit hole. Freedom ($10; for Mac or Windows) is a surefire desktop application that lets you pick a window of time for which the Internet gets locked on your PC. If you want to hop online before the time is up, you have to reboot your computer. If your work requires that you have Internet access, try anti-social, a $15 application that lets you select which services you block, rather than the entire Internet.
There are countless applications that make you unable to concentrate on your tasks, from YouTube to Facebook that dazzles you. Freedom ($10 for Mac and Windows) is a software that allows you to lock your computer and get off the Internet. If you want to surf the Internet before the end of time, you have to restart your computer. If you have to surf the Internet for your work, you might as well try anti-social software, which costs $15 and allows you to lock the service you choose instead of the whole network.

8. Move your charger. move the charger.

Battery life continues to be the Achilles heal of most mobile devices, which means many of us rush between charging sessions all day. Find a dedicated place at home to charge your device that’s within earshot, but not convenient, and make it a daily ritual to come home, remove the phone from your person and leave it there even if it’s fully charged already. If you need to take a call, keep it locked to the charging cable so you aren’t tempted to walk away with it afterward.
Battery life is the achilles heel of most mobile devices, which means that many of us rush between charging plugs every day.
