Throw away mobile phone and just use an air gapped machine. Your productivity will tank but then you’ll eventually add local databases of the shit you actually need on your air gapped machine and your productivity will triple.

Well shit, I shouldn’t be the first to tell you that if you’re serious about your privacy then get off of windows.
Also if the CIA is targeting with you with air gap malware, then you fucked all the way up. Pedophiles are saying “damn, fuck that guy”
This is Lemmy. You're the 30billionth to tell me.
Since we are 6, that's about 6 billion times per each of us.
I think someone is stealing some of my 6 billion for themselves. Just some. Not all. Just. Some.
Yeah, that's because I didnn't count you!
The government targeting pedos? That would be a more effective way to eliminate government than doge
Will it though? It's not like paying with cash or even a credit/debit card takes radically longer than paying with a phone. It's not like reading a book vs mindlessly scrolling Reddit or Lemmy makes productivity drop.
We get used to instantaneous tasks and convenience but in fine it's like speeding up while driving from work to home, it's not really the seconds or even minutes daily that count, it's where you are going.
So... a "dumb" phone will probably for most not make productivity "tank" IMHO.
Yes, your productivity is going to tank. No way you’ll be prepared for a full air gapped machine on day 1.
Again I'm not comparing a perfectly setup productivity machine online versus an offline one, I'm comparing an entertainment machine also used for work vs an offline one.
FWIW I did do offline holidays and yes, I was missing a lot, yet arguably it didn't make me less productive. Now I travel with kiwix with StackOverflow and Wikipedia .zim files and each time I believe, maybe naively, that I'm more productive, so indeed iteration helps but my point was more against distractions.
until you need to collaborate with the average person who uses google docs and gmail
What does that have to do with a phone?
Edit: FWIW you can say no (ideally explaining why, even providing an alternative while doing so, e.g. NextCloud with CollaboraOffice, for email... well you can clarify in a footer that this email thread is not private and suggest creating Tuta or ProtonMail account, even if one time use) to people who use Google Docs and GMail. You can also have a one time use account.
I don't have internet. Now my productivity is 0%. Help.
