Well, one easy way to achieve this is to turn off notifications from all the apps. I'm constantly surprised how many people around me have their phone ring/vibrate from every little thing. Even worse are the people with Apple Watches with all notification from everywhere flooding into their wrists, it's like they are constantly checking the time and making tiny adjustments.

But then again I don't quite understand social media. I just have small circle of friends I'm in touch on daily bases and we are little old hat and just use IRC like we've always done.
