I've sort of started to do something like this. I quit using streaming services, I re-downloaded a billion .mp3 files. I downloaded and converted all my Audible books and cancelled the service. I download podcasts instead of streaming them. If I'm going on a trip, I'll transfer a couple of audio books, some podcasts and a bunch of music to my phone. I keep about 5000 songs in the phone constantly, changing them every now and then as the feeling takes me. I use my phone like a old timey mp3 player and instead of carrying the local public trans schedule booklet, like I did 20 years ago, I now have the schedule website saved on my phone. I still have internet access and connection on the phone but I try to avoid it as much as possible. But I don't do silly extremes where I'm not "allowed" to use it at all. If I'm bored waiting for a doctor or something and I want to watch a youtube video, I watch a youtube video. But the strange thing is, once you think of the phone as a mp3 player, you sort of dont have the desire to use it as a instant entertainment machine. Some sort of switch snapped in my head when I did all that. Anyway, sorry if this became incoherent, I'm trying to type this out before getting my afternoon coffee and I want the coffee more than I want to make sense.
