Disable fingerprint unlock, add a long password, airplane mode unless you actively want to check something, &c. Add as many barriers as possible so that by the time you get through you either forgot why you came for or realised it's not that important
I don't think there are alternatives to what modern phones can do, unless you want to carry multiple dumb devices around (ebook + GPS + mp3 player for example)
I do carry my ereader with me, because I can read it without glasses (astigmatism) which is hard to do with an lcd panel. Using gps is rarer than using a phone. And it’s even rarer to listen to music on the go (I do have a small mp3 player with 512gb of storage, but it only comes when I have a bag)
