Rec'd on 📱 ways to actually cut down on screen time/social media time

i use apps (the Opal app) to help cut down screen time, which somewhat works, but I find that crafting helps me the most. I learned to crochet in the past year and it's amazing to do in front of the TV, where normally I'd sit and move my eyes between 2 different screens. I also take it on planes, trains, etc., anywhere where I could scroll endlessly while waiting. Also is nice to craft before bed while perhaps listening to music or a podcast. The world is your oyster! Other crafts you can do: knitting, embroidery, needlepoint, drawing, painting, handbuilding

crafting my heart out

I already do this when I can, but if I was truly analog, i’d be crafting. jack of all trades, master of none: - crocheting - painting(nails or canvas with acrylic) - making jewelry - printmaking - quilting (big fan of improv quilting) - drawing - pottery/clay work - bookbinding/scrapbooking/collaging

i gotchu

Getting familiar with the tactile markers for all of the coins. So u can find them without having to look at them. Doodling is a classic if ur at a desk or table,, just draw squares and add more shapes onto them. you dont have to make anything it's just good for dexterity and precision in ur hands/fingies. Crochet is kinda tired rn but its pretty easy to do without looking at ur hands if ur watching something.. Rubbing urself. not sexually... just putting pressure on ur joints or sore muscles or places no one ever squeezes... You're allowed to do that. Practicing the coolest ways to hold a pen or a cigarette or a mug or whatever... theres always a chill af way to like.. spin a pen or act like you're a lowkey badass for swiping ur keycard a certain way...
