There's definitely value in not constantly being tethered to a device reminding you how many steps you've taken, e-mails, etc. Also I'm reminded me of a quote:

“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

The dream used to be one device that does everything but I've backed away from that mentality hard. I even have two separate PCs now with nothing syncing between them.

Only because the dreams of digital security and privacy (and functionality) died first. If I could be confident doing work and personal stuff on the same devices, I would.
