less screen time/detox

💗 hi, let me share w/ you my notes for less screen time :

Build my “analog environment”

Small changes matter more than huge detoxes.

Music

• 💗 MP3 player or iPod-style device
• 💗 CD player
• 💗 Vinyl if you enjoy collecting

Why????
-> No notifications, no endless recommendations, no doomscrolling.

Writing&thinking

• 💗 Pocket notebook (my fav)
• 💗 Fountain pen or pencil
• 💗 Physical calendar or planner
• 💗 Sticky notes on walls

-> Writing by hand slows your thoughts in a good way.

Reading

• 💗 Physical books
• 💗 Magazines
• 💗 Comics / manga’s
• 💗 Library card
• 💗 (Kindle if you prefer !) always better than reading on a phone.

Reading on paper/kindle helps attention span recover.

Photography

• 💗 Disposable camera
• 💗 Digital compact camera
• 💗 Film camera

You stop taking 500 photos and start noticing moments !!

Time&focus

• 💗 Alarm clock (instead of phone)
• 💗 Wristwatch
• 💗 Kitchen timer / Pomodoro timer 

This reduces automatic phone checking.

- For my part, it works really well, and my screen time has dropped by perhaps 70%. (from 9hours pls ???? to 2-3hours)

thank u soo much im always so bored and just go on my phone, im like glued to it, this will so help me get lesser screen time xx

PS : How could I have forgotten that!!

Activities

• 💗 Arrowwords
• 💗 Crossword puzzles
• 💗 Sports (any kind)
• 💗 Walking
• 💗 Coloring
• 💗 Painting
• 💗 Puzzles
• 💗 Going out with friends or alone (alone its ok and sometimes BETTER :) )

Also, set screen time limits on your apps—stay mentally strong and don't click "Ignore"—but I promise you, it's worth it.
