I've given up my smartphone. I take care of email and other social media-ish stuff in batches. Basically, it's setting expectations that a dumb-phone text or phone call is how to get you if it's urgent, otherwise you'll follow up sometime in the next 24 hours. If I use a smartphone again, it's going to be exactly for Uber, Facebook Messenger (basically texting for people I don't want to give my phone number to), and Spotify. As far as how to wean yourself from your smartphone, I suggest blocking out some time and putting your phone on airplane mode or powered off entirely.
