Leaving your phone in another room really works. A similar effect can be achieved by disabling sound and vibrations or putting air plane mode. It's still tempting to touch it, but I trained myself not to do it. Although I often forget that I have a phone near to me, main distractions now come only from the laptop :D
This is why I like making it into a game of hide and seek, that a child would understand. The extra layer of meaning seems to make it work better. And I get the "treat" of finding it agin later!
