I find myself spending way more time than I'd like scrolling this site, Reddit, Twitter, etc. I want to limit my digital use to bare necessities, but when I'm mentally exhausted (poor sleep, after work, etc.) it's kind of all I have the energy to do.

I feel like doing literally nothing, getting lost in my thoughts can be even MORE tiring than using the internet lol. Maybe that's normal, or maybe it's like my depressive/anxious brain refusing to shut off or be nice.

Anyway, if you weren't spending your time online, how would you shut your brain off and unwind?

    I use an android app called "Lock Me Out". Basically I have it lock all my fun apps after 10pm, and YouTube after 1 hour of use. It requires a password to break, and I made my partner the password holder. This helped me a lot.
