OR... delete your social media accounts and stop using it. Especially on the phone. I don't use my phone for anything that would encourage me to scroll over and over.
Aside from the ringer (which is always set to vibrate), I disable notifications for every application. Even e-mail, and yes, WhatsApp/text! If it's important to require my attention in the short-term, they'll call.. and if it's an emergency, they'll leave a voice message - of which I have notifications turned on. Most people won't leave a voice message if it's not that important.
In short, I don't react to my phone. I use it, if I need to look something up- use the map, take a photo, listen to a song. If something requires me to react it, I either silence it (if it's important) or uninstall it.
- cykros 4y agoI don't answer my phone -- if it's important, they'll text! Voicemail I run through and clean out once or twice a year. Leaving voicemails is something folks do just to feel retro anyway. I'm probably a bit younger than you -- when I do clean out my voicemail, these days, it's usually just spam anyway. Even businesses send me text notifications as appointment reminders. Once in awhile it's my mom, out of an old hard to break habit, but even that hasn't happened in a year or two. There's rarely good reason I should have to pause my podcasts just because someone wants to communicate.

- fm2606 4y agoI want a flip phone (or slider) with a full qwerty keyboard for texting and that has GPS/maps and that's it. Oh and the ability to use it as a hotspot. It's asking a lot for something that doesn't have a lot.
