'Outsourcing' smartphone tasks to no-screen devices

I saw a lot of people tries to replace their phones with other digital devices, so the screen time doesn't reduce, just spread.

Instead I tried to do as much things as possible on devices without screen or without devices at all.

Some examples:

Internet radio app -> AM/FM radio

Audio player app -> speaker with inbuilt mp3 player

Games app -> board and cards games

Midi keyboard+virtual synth ->kalimba and electric piano

News app -> newspapers

eBooks -> audiobooks

Youtube -> download audio and listen instead of watching.

Different small things like alarm clock, torch, calculator -> stand alone devices instead of phone .

Pros: reduced eyesore and headache , phone's battery now lasts almost 3 days, I can actually spend time with partner and family members instead of constant watching on the phone.'s screen.

Cons: takes time to buy and setup everythin
