Fighting dementia on the front lines of my own mind
Genuinely so much better than doomscrolling as a way to pass the time. Completing a crossword gives me more of a dopamine rush than nutting

I love my little NYTimes games ritual (start with easy Sudoku, then medium Sudoku, Connections, Crossword, hard Sudoku, Tiles, and finally Spelling Bee if I feel really locked in). Still, the brain health benefits and fun of these puzzles feel diminished when I realize this is HOURS of unnecessary screen time.
I switched my daily puzzle ritual from online to a paperback, and I have never been happier. I feel so zen doing my sudoku outside like a fucking monk.

Mental exercise 🏋️♂️, a simple but all-consuming addiction. I’ve played at least 1 game of sudoku every morning for months. I look forward to it, and find myself opening a game in progress rather than doomscrolling IG during those little moments of “in-between time”. I play on a phone app, but I’m seriously considering a back-pocket book of sudoku.

Not “I want to do this” or even “I need to do this”. Those don’t work. Make use of our subservient little monkey brain and say “I have to do this.” If you HAVE to do it, you’ll just get it out of the way quickly so you can move on to do something better.
