All I do is put the phone on vibrate and put it in my pocket. Other than taking out the phone to capture a photo, I never really feel the urge to pull it out and waste time on it unless I am actively waiting and there is nothing else to do. I like to be 100% engaged in what I am doing whether that's socializing with friends, enjoying a hobby or walking somewhere. Maybe that's my secret? The desire to feel fully engaged and present?

All that being said, I work on a computer all day long. I am in front of the computer all day and do a fair bit of "time wasting" there.

This describes my usage too, I also am on a computer all day long, its also where I waste my time. I see my phone as a less useful computer, with the worst typing interface possible and try to use it as little as possible.

I'd be totally content to replace my physical phone, with a virtual one on a computer, provided I could make calls and send/receive text messages. Maybe I need to look into Google Voice...
