Much how I like to make my reminders physically unavoidable where possible (e.g., need to remember to take the thing to the place? Clip my car keys directly to the thing), I like to put some physical separation between myself and my devices.
I stopped wearing a smart watch after years of everyday use, and I like to keep my phone out of reach whenever possible. This is one definite upside to using wireless earbuds -- I will listen to music while working on some project in the yard for hours and sometimes even leave my phone inside.
