I need to reduce the number of times I check my smartphone. Any tips as to how to reduce the number of times I reach for my phone?

Put it somewhere difficult to access or ask someone else to hide it. Start with an hour and build up.

Two tips from me:

Get an app that blocks content periodically.
Just put it on charge out of sight somewhere far away from you whenever possible.

My tip is to stay off Mumsnet!
I’m pretty sure 80% of my time on my phone is spent on this app.
