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’m trying this but including some discord’s as well. Day ten. For me it isn’t about unplugging it’s about resisting the emotional conditioning of likes and retweets. Twitter will happily make you feel like dunking on someone matters but it will never produce the meaningful change we need… so I feel like it’s function is to be a heatsink for radical energy.
