I would advice against it. Phones are pretty useful. However to reduce phonetime, I followed Tim's advice [1] on it and combined it with Naval's behavior replacement advice [2]
1. Uninstall all apps that are not required. Especially social media apps and email client. Also, signout of things that are not required on phone like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.
2. Keep it on silent all the time.
3. Disable notifications.
4. Replace behavior by adding useful apps to help cope up with your anxiety. You can install iBooks or Kindle and read on your phone.
Eventually you will see the behavior shift. This will have you partially reduce phone use and maybe prepare you for more adverse changes like complete phone abandonment.
