Interestingly enough, I just found these articles recently and implemented this, it has been huge for me. I get hooked on my phone for work, but then end up falling into the black hole of distraction. By making it into a tool, and removing work related stuff, I find that I end up only using it for a few minutes each day. I still have it for the useful stuff though, maps, music, strava, etc. but when I need to look something up or check in on work, I have to go grab my computer.

I honestly feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I am way more present with my family.
