This seems like the best way to go to reduce usage. Squeeze it out with more 
interesting things. Based on one of the top stickies on the nosurf reddit, a 
lot of people have genuinely forgotten what other things there are to do, other 
than use their smart phone/internet. They maintain a list there of top 
recommended alternative activities, including the ones you describe. It's kind 
of sad, scary and telling that such a list is needed. One complaint you see 
there is that people's attention spans are so shot, they struggle to read a 
page of a book, ordraw a picture or whatever.
