I should note that my Apple Watch is absolutely critical to this plan. It allows me to check for notifications like texts and emails which can prompt me to get back to my laptop if and when I need to. I also have no interest in foregoing my ability to make phone calls or listen to music/podcasts on walks, runs, etc. My Apple Watch allows me to do all of that and more. It will however run out of battery if those activities extend beyond ~90 minutes. Hence 3b and 3c above.

Very nice. I was always a big fan of no mobile plan and limiting phone capacities to wifi.
