That's throwing out the baby with the bathwater, going totally offline. You are in control of how much time you spend online, both mobile as well as at your desk. Just switch off automatic synchronisation on mobile devices and you're free from needless attention-grabbing noises from the things. Tell people to call you if they really need to get hold of you, now, at this moment. As long as you are the one who controls your devices instead of those devices controlling you the possibility of going online is a book. Use it when needed, no more, no less. Try to disable as many attention-grabbing features of connected devices, e.g rigourously block all forms of advertising on multiple levels - router, device and application. This is what I've been doing since... well, since 24h internet access became a thing really. It was clear from the outset that too much of a good thing can hurt.
