had an insight into what I'm aiming for in terms of my relationship with technology

I call it living an "analog life"

it doesn't literally mean that the tech I use has to be analog

it means that I'm trying to return to as much of a pre-smartphone existence as possible

more thoughts on this later, but I'm curious how anyone else has tried for this in their own life?

@mimsical on one hand, my lifestyle is closest to the 90s and I didn't even have a smartphone until 8 years ago. On the other hand, I find the internet so essential. Yes, I have a library card, dvds, and audiobooks on cassette, but it's just easier to stream. I think I'm deliberate about my digital use at least.
