For me it was a watch.

I bought a Fitbit Charge 4, originally to track my heart rate/steps since I've never owned one and always relied on my phone for time.

With my phone generally on silent and by not checking it so often, I've found my use of social media/apps has reduced drastically this year. To the point that I recently forgot my phone at home, something that I didn't imagine possible.

That was my experience as well with getting an Apple Watch! I thought that wearing a smart watch would be more distracting but it’s actually less because I don’t feel the need to have my phone in my pocket at all times.
