Set the time limit first
Time in other apps passes in the blink of an eye, so assume 20 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour in advance; this keeps a calm head and decisions clearer.
First Series: Start with ban21 Tips
Keep budget separate
Set a small amount, then use it; using bKash, Nagad or Rocket makes separate accounting easy. Many in Dhaka keep weekly limits.
Take a break if your mood is bad.
If anger, fatigue, or hurry, stop; the decisions taken then later cause regret; a 10-minute break often helps.
Second Series: Safe habits and ban21 App
Do one thing at a time
Don't mix other tasks while playing; reducing notifications, calls and chats keeps focus and reduces the risk of breaking limits.
Keep a log of play
Keep three things in your mobile notes: time, balance, and break; after entering the ban21 App, align this record to keep the habit clear.
Set your goal before logging in
Before logging into ban21, ask only one question: How much time will I devote today? This small question reduces a lot of unnecessary rushing.
