You can choose not to believe me if you want. Yes, turning the phone off doubled my productivity. I can't imagine why you wouldn't believe this, if you've ever had coworkers, and observed them spending half their time on their phone at work. It's a distraction which hampers sustained attention and deeper thinking - as well as eats up actual minutes of time, some raw percentage of your work hours inevitably goes into garbage content on the phone instead. I find the people who are skeptical about the idea that the phone frustrates doing deeper thinking, are often the ones who have never done it. This is why they don't see the value in it.
