When I read about the NSA tracking mobile phones worldwide, I decided to put my mobile "phone" in flight mode - permanently.
It's a PDA now. All you need to do is tell your people to call you on your landline. Like we did a few years back. (Reminder: it was actually possible to live like that - plus, you're not on an electronic leash anymore, it feels really good.)
It has much the same effect. You can leave the phone powered on, but whenever it is in the case it is effectively in flight mode but without requiring me to do anything.
It feels quite liberating to be in control of communication like this and to consume when you want to. A form of zero-distraction for life.
