I&#x27;ve given up my smartphone. I take care of email and other social media-ish stuff in batches.<p>Basically, it&#x27;s setting expectations that a dumb-phone text or phone call is how to get you if it&#x27;s urgent, otherwise you&#x27;ll follow up sometime in the next 24 hours.<p>If I use a smartphone again, it&#x27;s going to be exactly for Uber, Facebook Messenger (basically texting for people I don&#x27;t want to give my phone number to), and Spotify.<p>As far as how to wean yourself from your smartphone, I suggest blocking out some time and putting your phone on airplane mode or powered off entirely.
