Sounds wondeful, though it’s not possible in some parts of the world. Here in Sweden you need a phone to use a lot of services, and very few places still accept cash as payment.
Luckily I’m still at the point where nothing I need to do absolutely requires a smartphone with either iOS or Google Android but it sure feels like that day is coming.
I have requirements for one too, I think a good middle ground is turning it off for a few hours a couple times a week or a day a week or take a walk/hike away from cell reception when I’m not oncall for work.

I did float to myself the idea of essentially stripping a phone bare of everything except necessary apps though, would get 80% of the way there
At that point would not stripping a smartwatch be better? No need to carry around a phone.
I already have a phone I can strip. I do not own a smartwatch.
Fair enough.

I am lucky to life in a place where its my constitutional right to be able to pay with cash everywhere and they have to accept it
