"From opening the heavy lid to placing your phone in the cradle, each analog movement becomes an intentional affirmation of the digital sacrifice you are about to make. To complete the gesture, close the box and encapsulate the device."
You can't just turn your phone off or get a dumb phone, you need a ritualized sarcophagus to bolster your decaying willpower.
Your ability to resist doing something you’re tempted to do is directly related to how easy it is to do. Try living with a bowl of M&M’s on your beside table, and see how easy it is to hold a diet compared to never buying the M&M’s in the first place.
So while putting your phone in a concrete box is a bit extreme, turning it off and putting it in a drawer is more likely to help you succeed in not checking it than just toggling a software button.
