I own a smartphone, but I think I've done some things that make me relatively immune to the sort of addiction that others experience, and that I once experienced myself. Back in 2014 I decided to stop using Facebook for a month. Don't ask me why. This was back when Facebook was far more compelling. Then a month turned into 3 months. 3 months turned into an entire year before I decided to log back in. But this time I wasn't compelled to keep using it. I was immediately bored, put it down, and did other things. The addiction never returned once I had take time to experience a life that doesn't require being connected in that way. My attitude towards social media and tech were permanently changed. Most of what I do on the internet and my phone today is purposeful. I do sometimes use Reddit but only if I'm interested in a specific subject; I don't ever scroll through my home page mindlessly. For years I've put my phone into "Do Not Disturb" mode so that only phone calls from people in my contacts can ring through, and every other distraction is completely silent. I will go several hours, sometimes over a day not checking my phone for notifications. Depending on how important an email or text is (most of the time they're inane) I will reply when it's most convenient to me rather than on the spot. Not owning a smart phone is one way to go, but I've found it possible to live with my device without it ruling my life.
