Might I suggest it&#x27;s not the phone?<p>It&#x27;s the communication and dopamine hits you get from that phone you struggle with.<p>And I am saying that because you are very likely to move those to whatever else you use, which does you no real service.<p>What you need to do is have some boundaries. Once you&#x27;ve set a few, you can then evaluate what is worth what with some better perspective and that dopamine will have less value and other things in your life will have more.

Well I did that: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;exodus90.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;exodus90.com&#x2F;</a><p>Might not work for you I suppose. The other thing I did just recently was this exciting purchase: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.phonearena.com&#x2F;phones&#x2F;Nokia-208_id7943" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.phonearena.com&#x2F;phones&#x2F;Nokia-208_id7943</a> Well I&#x27;m not sure if it&#x27;s exactly this one, couldn&#x27;t care less. I pick it up maybe twice a week.

I make it a habit to keep my phone more than an arms length away from me at home.<p>This will stop you from constantly grabbing it and therefore using it
