When family phone rules keep failing and everyone is equally distracted

My family is always on devices during dinner and we've made rules about it multiple times but somehow we all end up scrolling again within a week. My teenager says I'm being hypocritical because I check work emails at night and she's probably right but I don't know how to change this pattern we're all stuck in.
