My phone is at my desk. I turn off all notifications and sounds, and only allow it to ring from people on my contacts, and I otherwise don't use it. It's basically a chat computer that sits on my desk. I'll take it with me on any major trip anywhere, but otherwise when I leave, I try to not bring my phone.
I don't know how people stand to live with these devices and the irritating software that runs on them. The expectation now is that anything you install will irritate you, and people aren't properly valuing their time, but some of them catch on to it, and stop installing new software...
