 Good afternoon nostr 

I basically ditched my phone, I just keep it in my room now.

And my life is at least 30% better and I suddenly have much more time to enjoy life. 

Phones are shitcoins

 They are addicting for sure.  I got a dumb phone for going out now and plan on never putting a Sim card in my new Pixel. Baby steps but I should give it a go for a month to see the differences in life with no smartphone use period.

 Download Wikipedia and an LLM and just use it offline. Lasts for days, fewer distractions, still a pretty powerful device.

 Thanks for the tip. More involved than I can take on right now.

 I am considering a dumb phone and an ereader loaded with classics to replace the doomscrolling.
