Your writing about practicing bring present and practicing patience. Thank-you.

I'm very old school. I put up with cell phones. For many years I had a dumb phone kept on silent mode when I was with friends or clients. There's nothing worse than being interrupted by a phone call when I'm with you (a friend or client).

I recently got an iPhone and have decided to treat it as a dumb phone. I got it for security purposes (work). Nevertheless when I'm working on being present I don't want notifications or calls from others when I'm with you. Others can leave a message.
