Yup, the key is to take back control and make the phone for your convenience. Rather than the convenience of others and apps.<p>Limiting social media accounts is helpful in this too. I have FB and Twitter but receive no emails or notifications from either and don&#x27;t even have any FB-related apps on my phone at all. They sit there waiting for me to visit at my convenience. I check FB maybe once every 3 months at my desk. When I do look, I always realize I&#x27;m missing out on nothing.<p>If people need to reach me, I check my email a few times a day on my phone&#x2F;desktop and can get immediate access through my cellphone number if they have it.
