Five tips to kick your smartphone habit

Alex Wood is an addict but won't give up his smartphone. But he has five strategies for limiting its control over him: "I used to wake up tired. My body would ache and my head felt sore, like waking up with a hangover. Finally, I took control, like attending an AA class for addicts, I faced my tech demons. Now I wake up refreshed and realise how much it was a 'real' addiction that affects your health."

tldr:

1) Don't charge it by your bed.

2) Kill all notifications.

3) Delete Facebook, Twitter, Insta and other "attention loop" apps.

4) Switch to Android, because it has the good self-control enforcement apps.

5) Stop checking email/turn off Push email.

All obviated by 1) throw it in a lake and get a dumbphone.
