Practical answer

What about music, podcasts, and shiurim?

Audio is easy to move off the phone, and a dedicated player removes a lot of temptation with it.

  • A dedicated audio player holds downloaded music and lectures and does nothing else.
  • Many simple phones play files from a memory card.
  • Car audio via USB or Bluetooth works without a smartphone.
  • Download at home rather than streaming on the move.

People often find that removing streaming audio from the pocket is one of the changes they notice most — and one of the easiest to solve.

Still not sure this works for your life?
