I can nearly guarantee that you could eliminate at least three of the things you mentioned (Spotify (they're even shittier than you think), Robot vacuums (they suck, but not as they're intended to), and WhatsApp (just do it already)), get used to it in a week, and have people jealous of you in two.
“There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is a willingness to contemplate what is happening.”
― Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Massage*
*And yes, "Massage", not "Message", is the correct book title.

I would highly recommend listening to this piece from August Lamm. She lives without the Internet for most of her work/life (and therefore the tech attached to it). https://creativerebels.substack.com/p/the-girl-with-no-internet-august
