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?

    Yeah this is great! Don't be like "oh I locked my phone for 3 hours" - just replace that time with something else. If you don't plan it out, you won't want to actually unplug- for good reason. Honestly staring at your phone is a much better use of time than staring at the wall.
