Yup, the key is to take back control and make the phone for your convenience. Rather than the convenience of others and apps. Limiting social media accounts is helpful in this too. I have FB and Twitter but receive no emails or notifications from either and don't even have any FB-related apps on my phone at all. They sit there waiting for me to visit at my convenience. I check FB maybe once every 3 months at my desk. When I do look, I always realize I'm missing out on nothing. If people need to reach me, I check my email a few times a day on my phone/desktop and can get immediate access through my cellphone number if they have it.
