Life Hack: Put your phone away

Put your phone in another room when you need to focus. Not across the desk, not face down, in another room. I thought I had decent self control until I tried this and realized how many times I'd been reaching for it without even thinking. Out of sight actually is out of mind. Even if you only do it for an hour, you'll get more done in that hour than you would in three with it sitting next to you.
