Stay bored but doing an activity that isn't on your phone. You would actually feel less bored or not notice it at all.
My advice that worked the best...Start cooking!
I'm serious. Sometimes you end up just washing stuff in between, prepping food, putting away food, making a list, pre-heating, etc. All of this ends up taking time in between and I would say throwing on a podcast or show in between is still better than doom scrolling.
Remove all the social media apps and stick to your browser. This can be on your PC or Smartphone but you do not need a flip phone. Just stick to your phones Browser as your main source for social media, so you make the intentions of actually going to the website.
This is why I like Friend Rewind. It works best on my PC but it's resorted to the Firefox app on my Android device.
Tiktok, YouTube App (mainly Shorts), Instagram, Meta, X, etc are just applications I'd avoid if you're trying to be more mindful or aware of your usage.

I'm doing the same thing as you! I am trying to get my life back, there's so many hobbies I want to do, but I feel like social media is taking my attention span, motivation and time away from me. I also made a post about it, there's some thing I am doing to stop social media, not sure if it works. But check it out ! https://friendrewind.com/blog/guys-i-am-going-to-cut-down-fast-social-media-42290

I'd say that switching to a flip phone is a bold move
Also, moving away from all-in-one smartphones to using other physical tech will have a separate clear boundary and as to what their purpose is such as handheld consoles, cameras, etc. You'd have a choice to play a game or capture a moment.
It takes guts to step away from social media, especially if you spend hours and hours on it

put your phone in another room sit down with a notebook and write down every single thought that comes into your head
