I’m unsure about this now. I think there may generally be way better ways to cope (eg sleeping, walks, reading a book, hanging with friends).
A different thought: Clarifying the core thing you don’t like about having media always on (maybe the compulsion that leads to distractedness) may make your idea easier to communicate and look different in actions/plans produced. Like I’m fine with watching a movie with a friend or playing a video game with my roommate for an hour.
A slightly different thought: setting alarms on my phone if I’m looking at my phone for the time because I have a meeting, or I’m waiting on someone to message me timely information has been helpful. I can set a timer for an hour and check my phone then in case they’ve messaged. Or set the timer 5 minutes before my meeting, so I don’t have to think about it.
