Very nice, will use it on my child, but this doesn't cover my case.

I have it as a wallet (those flip cases) so it is always with me. But it can stay in backpack for days without using it, except maybe for calls (to talk with parents after I don't call for weeks :D) and to pay for public transit (huge mess to charge nfc cards). I don't use social networks, chat software (sms excluded) at all, never even registered to fb, cant even remember when was the last time I installed any app.

I consider this a very sane use of phone. It is not addiction, rather satisfying addicted society that is pressuring me to use it.

Paying with a watch is a nice alternative too.

Beyond not having the phone with you, I think the real measure is the number of times it's picked up and/or unlocked.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I need to point out what I originally stated was:

  ... exercises to determine one's phone addiction, if any ...

Note the "if any" qualifier.

You express having no phone addiction and I have no reason to think otherwise. More importantly, I am not going to adjudicate as to yourself or anyone else.

Yes, sure, as i said, will practice it on my 15 years old... he probably cant do anything of stated :D
