I try to put my phone away during the day while I’m WFH or I would get nothing done. Average is about 4 hours - IG, Twitter, Tattle, News apps. I keep my phone upstairs when I’m downstairs having tea/watching TV. I could really live without a phone TBH and love it.

Sometimes I just kept my phone uncharged, no one is calling me anyway hahaha! Is just work, sleep, eat, tit repeat these days
I’ve recently downloaded the forest app (not an ad, not sponsored 
) for when I’m working at home and it really helps if you enjoy a reward based system for being off your phone.
Basically the more time you spend off your phone, the more coins you win. You can then buy different types of colourful and themed trees to plant in your virtual forest.
You can also save up the coins to plant a real tree in a real forest.
I have to say I don’t use the app as much as I should, especially in the evening but it’s good if that kind of incentive works for you.

I absolutely hate it when my partner goes o his phone at dinner time when we are sat at the table.. He doesn't understand why i see it as rude but it definitely is!
I’m exactly the same as this. My concentration span has shortened so much and I used to love just daydreaming and being in my own head years ago but I struggle to now because my instinct is just to pick up my phone or iPad. My husband gets annoyed with me too for how much I’m on it. I know it’s a problem I’m literally on one or another all day except for when I exercise. For me it’s kind of a comfort thing, it just completely distracts me, it started a few years ago when I was going through some difficult things, I’d just escape on to the internet and found it so soothing, lockdown has bought it back and made it worse. Feel like I need rehab
Yeah, it almost sends a message that he'd much prefer texting other people or checking out internet memes than spending an hour or so talking to you. It's almost like he gets sucked into his phone and fails to acknowledge your existence!
I'm using my phone a lot more than I used to. But we are in lockdown here and I don't live with family so it's the only way I can keep in touch with them.
Normally just a few hours a day to listen to music and podcasts at the gym and on walks. If I'm meeting friends or family I make sure to keep my phone off the table and only check it if they've gone out of the room or whatever.
How do you do that?! I mean I have deleted Facebook from my phone (I use my husband’s phone to browse FB Marketplace sometimes but that’s it) and I have never had a Twitter, but I love Instagram
Still manage to read quite a bit, but on my phone My husband is the same and it’s mainly stupid tit like scrolling through Twitter, Tik Tok or reading the news. I’m not gonna lie I can spend too much time on mine at times but when we’d go out for dinner or whatever I’d leave mine in my bag or in the car or we’d even be watching a movie in the house and he’s sitting on his phone it annoys me too. We’re due a baby in about 3 months time so he won’t have the time to be on it
