Thanks for sharing, this is so interesting! In my mid-to-late 30s I'm getting better about accepting some things and not worrying about some things. But the human survival mechanisms to tell ourselves stories to keep pushing through, or find ways not to dwell on certain problems, also create big blind spots.
Kudos for your patience with the dogma and chanting.

Do you think you would go back and do this again?
For the phone -- you might want to try a full week with your accessibility setting for greyscale turned on, it cuts the addictive quality pretty substantially. For Android, there are also minimalist homescreen launchers like these below that can force a very basic interface or even block your access to apps other than the ones you set (until you change your settings back to the default launcher): https://www.google.com/amp/s/indianexpress.com/article/technology/techook/minimalistic-android-launchers-lessphone-productivity-launcher-olauncher-9300968/lite/

I'll "never say never" about doing it again, but I won't do it again in the short-term future.
Turned on the grayscale, we'll see how that goes. I do currently have a minimalist launcher, but it's not minimalist enough haha.
