For two years now I have kept very strict rules keeping my phone away from my person. They’re not overly imposing and I probably spend more time on my phone than a lot of people here. But the strictness is really helpful for me:
1. I don’t even look at my phone or anything it would present to me until my puppy is fed and walked and I have coffee in me.
2. I don’t look at it while I’m in motion unless there’s no other option (ie calling a ride or clarifying meatspace meeting arrangements).
3. I don’t look at my phone indoors unless there’s a physical need (ie it needs to be plugged into something else). Phone time is porch time.
I also try not to look at it from dinner time til bedtime but that’s less strict. It’s limited mostly by spending most of that time engaged with said puppy.
