I liked that you drew a comparison between cutting tech cold turkey and diets/fads - the principle is the same.
I'm training for a triathlon currently and I see this all the time in my running and ridding groups. People get excited, they under-eat and over-train, they want the benefits NOW, failing to understand that it's a process. It takes your body time to adjust, but most importantly your mind needs to understand this as a new routine.
I wrote recently about having deleted all of the social media apps from my phone. It took me a good while to stop reaching out for my phone out of pure habit.
It takes months to build a habit, you can't expect to break it in days.
