Uninstall all the apps. Turn data off.

Cold turkey. More than seven years ago, on my way home, I stopped at T-Mobile and bought a random flip phone. I still own that same phone. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21929194

Just a few minor updates to my original post:

  - Low-res photos are perfectly fine for my purposes
  - I don't need Google Maps when I'm on the go
  - Quick fact checking is not important
  - One day, I ripped off the band aid and migrated all auth keys to Yubikey
  - Tethering is occasionally useful

Edit: some things never change--I still haven't learned how to format a bulleted list here.

I think it’s becoming increasingly difficult to do this. There are so many things now that simply don’t have good non-mobile alternatives, like the maps and authenticators you mention. “Uninstall the apps and turn off data” seems like the most attainable option in this thread.

A take on this to add - the absolute ease of this might depend on your social enviornment.

Make a list of mobile apps you use. For each of these, identify the web or other substitute soluti9n.

If there is no substitute, you might need a smartphone. Is the solution to 5his keeping one in a box, for example.
