Students, employees, and CEOs alike may wish to maximize their productivity by defining windows of time during which they plan to be separated from their phones, allowing them to accomplish tasks requiring deeper thought.

More broadly, we can all become more engaged and cognitively adept in our everyday lives simply by putting our smartphones (far) away.
