I just quit Amazon too! I'm about a month in and it feels really good.
I also decided I'm going to work on making my little backyard more green and inviting, so it's more of a retreat for me and a better place to have friends over. Community feels important right now.
Re: Amazon. The writer Jia Tolentino has talked about making a rule for herself that if she could get an item in person in her neighborhood, then she wasn't allowed to order it online. That it introduces a little more friction into the buy-buy-buy mindset. I've been thinking about that a lot.

I love both of these things!
