Limiting phone usage

[RootBeerBert]

I have an issue with phone usage I want to fix, I'm on it way too much, to the point that I'm distracted from my summer work. I left it at a cousin's house to focus and it worked, but not having a way to contact me is problem for my family so I can't do it again and I'm getting distracted like I did before. I don't have issues focusing in school but I won't be able to do my best if I can't properly do homework and projects at home, but I also don't wanna give up web novels, do you guys got any suggestions?

buy a dumbphone and carry it for calls.

That's what I have. I only type to you guys on the computer in my office.

Just turn it off when you want to get work done. Or even better, give it to a trusted friend who's nearby.

I second this. If you break down the cause of your addiction, you might found that you must be spending too much time on useless apps (mine would be instagram, youtube, and google chrome for reading, yours might not too much of a difference). Having a dumbphone is actually a great method to cut down your phone addiction while also allowing people to reach you during emergency calls.
