Experimenting with simply not picking up my phone at any point during my morning routine. Not offline, just not phone-centric. So far, a week in, my ability to Be Present and Get Things Done (mostly by means of being less interrupted by the *habit* of the phone) is much improved.

@luis_in_brief I often leave my phone in my room while I have breakfast. I only keep it at my desk because it's my authenticator.

@pnorman I would like to figure out how to keep it more away from my desk. I could definitely stand to do an audit of SMS 2FA to replace it with something not quite so phone-centric, but that will only go so far.

But one step at a time. I can fight that fight in, say, January. :)

@luis_in_brief Put it across the room, get it for 2FA, and put it back. It's good to get up and walk, and once you get out of the habit of checking it all the time it's easier.
