How do you overcome Phone addiction?

Turn off notifications- Almost every app on your phone can be tweaked so that push notifications are disabled.

Do not disturb - When you get home at night, put your phone on silent and leave it in a drawer. Set a time to check your phone to see if you’ve missed any urgent calls. If there are none, then put it back in the drawer.

Weaken the habit loop by turning off the triggers - alert sounds for multiple different apps, vibrations, notifications onscreen and phone light.

Carry a book with you and read it. It’s not pretentious, it’s just smart. This way whenever you’re waiting in line and bored, you have something to look at that isn’t your phone.

Get drastic with a digital detox - If you are open to trying something more extreme, Daniel Sieberg, author of The Digital Diet, suggests doing a full ‘digital detox’, where you spend an entire weekend with no access to technology. You might find after the detox, you don’t really need your phone, you just wanted it.
