>Everything has to be a choice, or else it’s a form of addiction. I always want to 'choose' to use my phone because otherwise, it might be equivalent to doing nothing.

This is so true. "Using" instead of "choosing" to use your phone and scrolling endlessly is simply being on autopilot mode. I have all the notifications blocked that saves me a great deal of time.

In this age of political drama, if we choose to spend our time in a more practical way rather than bashing everyone on social media without following that pyramid of "how to debate online" (iirc), there'd be a lot of essential time saved on our sides.
