Have You Ever Considered a Dumbphone or Do You Currently Use One?
I had a dumb phone until around 2011 and I really miss not staring at my phone all of the time. The only thing that gives me pause is my family sending links via text. I've tried other ways to limit screen time but if it's there I'm gonna use it.

oh wow that is wild about your bank. reminds me that some stuff at my work requires 2FA via app so idk how I'd get around that
Yeah, like ostensibly there are alternatives to 2FA which do not rely on a phone, but they're not nearly so easy to set up, and there's potential for a lot of woe stemming from user error, even if your work stuff facilitates them. They're apparently more secure though, so maybe you can persuade your work to go offer the option on that basis?
I have some stuff at work that requires 2fa too. I have an old iphone with no SIM in it in my office, I use it for authentication and that's it :)
