How to end your phone addiction, without throwing the thing away

My name is Kevin, and I have a phone problem. And if you're anything like me – and the statistics suggest you probably are, at least where smartphones are concerned – you have one, too. I don't love referring to what we have as an "addiction". That seems too sterile and clinical to describe what's happening to our brains in the smartphone era. We might someday evolve the correct biological hardware to live in harmony with portable supercomputers that satisfy our every need and connect us to infinite amounts of stimulation. But for most of us, it hasn't happened yet.
