How to avoid phone dependency?

Stop all the notifications from your phone - they distract your attention when you are doing something
Don’t keep the internet always on - this will make you open by reflex the social media apps you have on your phone
Use a hand watch instead of checking the hour on your phone
Delete the applications that give dependency or, at least, hide them from the main screen
Setup a clear intention when you take the phone and put the phone away after you end that action
Set a time limit for the time spent on the phone during a day
If possible, use the desktop applications instead of the mobiles ones
Find some alternatives to the morning alarm to avoid using your phone (who remembers that radio station that has an alarm system that can be set up?)
Don’t charge your phone near your bad (this affects also your health) or in your proximity
Try a day without a phone - at least on your holidays
Go out without your phone - I did this once by mistake and my family got panicked that something happened to me
When you meet a friend, put your phone away
Plan free-time activities that don’t involve technology
Watch reality shows with people who don’t have access to their phones (like Survival or America Express) to see how people spend their time

These are some things I used to do or, at least, I want to do on my own.

What about you? What have you done and it has some results? I would like to know your ideas in the comments.
