ditch your iPhone for a landline

Use a landline.

Or rather, use your smartphone as if it were a landline.

Pick a spot to park your phone, like your dining table.

Then leave it there:

  • Level 1: Park your phone when you go to the bathroom.
  • Level 2: Park your phone when you go to bed.
  • Level 3: Park your phone when you’re working.
  • Level 4: Park your phone when you’re chilling (e.g. watching TV, talking to housemates).
  • Level 5: Park your phone when you go to the gym, or go on a walk.
  • Level 6: Park your phone when you leave the house to socialize.
  • Level 7: Park your phone indefinitely.

Levels 1-3 are a lot of bang for the buck. My focus and attention came rushing back.
