I try to make a habit of not leaving it on charge over night for example, just charge to close to 100% 
and plug it back it when needed, tho im not sure if it really makes a difference, it's worked
quite well for me until the phone (battery) gets too old.

I always airplane mode whenever I’m not using my phone if I need the battery life. Stops me checking my phone every time it vibrates, saves battery and makes me use my phone more intentionally which is a plus. 🙂

If you use an iPhone, then Settings >Battery>Charging Optimisation defaults to Optimised Battery Charging where the phone works out when to finish charging past 80%. Probably best left on that setting unless there is an important reason for changing it. Alternatives are either 80% charge limit or letting it charge straight away to 100% (possibly good if you expect some heavy usage straight away.)
