Have you tried turning off notifications for all your apps other than texts/calls?

I put off a smartphone successfully until last year. The only annoyance is when programs I'm not running send me notifications... I turned those off, and now I'm a much happier camper.

yes, but the problem is there is for example some native apps like google drive that randomly sends you something, even if it never did for 2 years

then you also have the thing of not using big screens every day
