1. Buy a pre-paid phone, with no data plan & not a smart phone & only share the number with those who only need to notify you if someone is in the hospital or a family emergency!

2. Leave the main phone at home, change the voicemail to reflect that it is off and when you will return messages.

3. Place notifications that you are out on all social media, twitter, FaceBook, LinkedIn etc… And if you have to tweet etc… then do what I did and pre-schedule your tweets so they go out while you are away!
