Method 2:
Pin Friend (for iPhone)

Delete all the applications that you don't actually want.

Ask a friend to child block your iPhone with the Parental Restrictions feature using a pin that you don't know so that you can't install new applications or use Safari.

This is a way to turn an iPhone into a dumb phone, but with google maps.

Method 3:
Freedom (for iPhone, Mac, Windows)

https://freedom.to/

bonus: consider setting a recurring block using Freedom, and then asking a friend to set a password which you don't know.

Method 4:
Go Camping

If you are able to, go camping and leave your phone in a bag the whole time (unless you have some kind of emergency). Use an auto-response to tell friends when you will be back on the grid.
