I've been experimenting with using my phone as little as possible. When I'm out, I put it in my backpack or pocket on silent. At the very most, I'll use it for music. I try really hard to not pull it out to check HN or others when I'm bored. I also now check Twitter at most twice a week, for less than twenty minutes.
It's too early to be confident in the results, but I do feel more "peaceful" and able to focus, if that makes sense. I'm trying to extend this to my computer and not get distracted by opening up new tabs every time I get a break from thinking or coding.
For those interested, the inspiration for this experiment was Cal Newport's book "Deep Work".
