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'll join your knitting club if I can crochet instead. I don't know how to knit but I'm getting better at crochet with each project.
Crafting is crafting! Macramé, embroidery, wire wrapping, soldering, carpentry, 3D worldbuilding: if you enjoy making something then I'm happy for you.
And, yeah, I should have mentioned the feeling of improvement is especially motivating at the start, when you see the biggest changes. I'm still in that zone of wonkiness reduction myself.
