How about you just put your phone on silent, and leave it in backpack? I need phone for maps, accommodation booking etc.. But on hike battery lasts a week, because it is in airplane mode.

An important point for me was realizing that free will is an illusion and that conditioning myself to respond correctly is more effective than trying to be rational and have self control. Impulse will act before thought has even got a clue, so the impulse must be trained, not the mind.

Human nature is complex. Not everyone is as able to just put their phone on silent and leave it as you are. We've all got different levels of "noise" in our heads, telling us to do things, and it's not always trivial to turn off that noise.

So it doesn't sound like phones are the issue, but what information the users choose to view on their phones.
