Taking a break from your phone can be a great way to stay focused and present in the moment. It can also provide a great sense of peace and relaxation. Additionally, it can be a great way to connect with people around you, as you can give them your full attention.

So basically touch grass? Ok, the door to the outside is 1 feet away, I can do it.

This is a great tip. I should do it more.
Sometimes it’s hard with my job. Shit can hit the fan at anytime (IT).
I now charge my phone overnight in a separate room. This way my phone isn’t tempting to grab through the night, or first think in the morning.
Has helped my quality of life quite a bit.

Not just sometimes. Turn off ALL your notifications and then just turn them on for those individuals and apps you want to be able to actually interrupt you versus reading their messages in your own time.

Your phone isn't a great cooking device. You might try an oven.

Using DND often, and I don’t allow notifications on much except calls and text. When I want to know if I got email, I choose when to go look, for example. Also have my phone on vibrate 80% of the time.

I changed all the sounds for the types of notifications I get, so I know I got the notification, but also what kind of thing it was for.
Just the other day, someone told me my phone went off and my response was just "It's an Email on my Personal Account, it can wait"

You kids have a weird attachment to your phones. I just leave mine on but don't look at it when it isn't appropriate. Say at a sit down dinner, when I'm working, when I'm chatting with someone, or when I drive the god damned car down the highway!

The idea here is to turn the phone off. Not just the sound, not the notifications, the actual device. It's different.
