Turn off the devices. The whole reason people used to go out, date, engage in hobbies, whatever, was because they were bored. Boredom is a powerful motivator. Now we don't have boredom anymore, not true boredom. Not the sort of boredom that spurs throwing caution to the wind and making an adventure out of ordinary life, or even devoting a truly ridiculous amount of time to some niche hobby.

Get rid of the instant gratification, the rest will fall into place. Quitting stuff is simple, you just stop. Simple isn't the same as easy, which is why if you don't want it enough you won't do it.
