There’s simple and free way to experiment with the author’s idea without buying and configuring a watch. Delete all social media from your phone. Delete all bookmarks and hide web browsers in sub folders. Turn off majority of notifications, or don’t show preview. Only interact with your phone via audio. Then you can decide if the audio only paradigm could work for you. At the very least, it will help you be more intentional about your internet use.

Good suggestions. I’ve had email notifications turned off (both work and personal) for a few months now, and that’s made a positive difference.

In fact I’ve been aggressively turning of most notifications across the board.

iOS’ new(ish) “deliver silently” option is helpful here.
