I hear you, brother. I've found I'm more mindful in general when I create dedicated times where I don't use my phone at all. I think phone hygiene like that can be beneficial for many reasons, including for the sake of relationship quality.
I'm a big fan of stacking phones into a tower when at a table for a meal. You can start there, shaming people for touching the stack during the meal. After you've conditioned a 'phones down' behavior, you can expand the application of it.

I've heard of the "first one to touch it pays for everyone" tactic.
I like the way you think!
