Easiest option is not to get one…if you need a mobile, just purchase a standard old boring brick rather than a smart one.

I leave mine in flight mode, only turning off at the end of the day to check for anything important. Prolongs battery life significantly.
I also have all notifications except calls and sms disabled, and leave it in silent mode when ‘on’ since I can’t abide the annoying ping signalling another trivial post by someone somewhere.
I have too often observed otherwise sensible intelligent friends and colleagues check their phone every time it pings, drives me mad and leaves me feeling like the third party.
Smart phones are incredibly useful devices and I don’t know how we managed without them, but they are also spawn of the devil when FOMO kicks in, as it so easily seems to do. Get a life, addicts!

Get a life, people.
