Just make your phone boring.

Delete instagram, log out and don’t go on YouTube. Delete games.

It’s really not that hard to make your phone a device for communication and not entertainment

My phone is already like that. There are still emails, texts, the browser still exists, the weather, etc.

And even ignoring all of that, taking hands off the keyboard/mouse, picking up a different device, waiting for the notification, opening it up, typing in the code, putting the phone back down, moving back to the keyboard/mouse/monitor… it’s very disruptive to any flow I might hope to have.
