Everybody has a smart phone nowadays. Whenever we focus on the phone, we should change to a neutral object.
Phone jhana is extremely powerful. Whether in Shwedagon Pagoda or in a restaurant, people just pick up their smart phones, get totally absorbed into it and forget everything else.
Every time you think of your phone, you should practice anapana (remember that when there is a reaction to the object and you cannot watch your reaction, change to a neutral object).
Each time the mind wants to pick up the phone, you should practice watching your breath.
