In addition to removing the distraction altogether, a friend recently showed me you can put your phone display into "Greyscale" mode.
This has an immediate effect of being less pop-y and engaging. Big red banners are meaningless. The lack of colors make you want to engage less. It truly broke a bunch of odd habits for me.
Worth giving it a shot.

- jedberg 8y agoI tried that for a week. Couldn't get used to it. I found that too many apps use color for important distinctions, which they shouldn't because of colorblind people, but it is what it is.
- jld 8y agoIt would be great if apps could know the display is in grayscale mode (perhaps it is?) so they could switch to a more appropriate design.
