Then you should've put the phone back in the cabinet. Follow your rules.

I did do that.
I still use it from time to time.

So you were standing there all uncomfortably in the kitchen while you typed that out with your thumbs? You did send a good message though. Everything you said is pretty true except I don't think most people would want to store their phone in their cabinet. Our phones are not only addictive, but if we can get past that addiction they still come in handy and they are essential to daily life.

Okay, first of I have no idea with whatever else I would be typing rather than my thumbs.

Second of, I do sometimes stand in front my cabinet, sometimes I take it out for a few minutes. But it never gets to an hour anymore. Using my phone for less than an hour a day is not achievable for most "modern" (lmao) humans. I still have the need to write my friends, which are sadly all addicted to their phones too, don't go out regularly and we chat using our phones. Lemmy is a whole other issue, but it's getting less as well.

Just because I'm doing something doesn't mean I'm perfect at it. You appear like a double hyprocrite for trying to point out how I'm not doing what I say and meanwhile don't do it yourself while finding it to be true.
