i been on (and sometimes off cause im not perfect) a routine since Dec last year and its great at filling in time
time:
-for fitness
-for relaxing
-for chores
-for responsibilities
-for exploring
ofc every day can have twists but i find being on routine leaves usually little time for my phone
and when i am on my phone
its for watching a show, listening to music, duolingo
very little time for social media honestly

i have been on a journey to untangle my tasks from my iPhone.
i'd be out in the world someplace, pull out my phone for something as menial as checking the time, or as well intentioned as capturing the moment in a pic, and immediately get sucked into texts and instagramโข๏ธ and all the virtual things happening in this tiny lil demon light box.
the goal: pull my phone out of my bag ONLY for phone things. that's texting, calling, and apps that can't be replaced
the solutions so far:
๐ฐ๏ธ i started with a watch (shoutout Casio) and i wear it every day. once I broke the habit of checking my phone for the time, I felt legitimately freed from something Major
๐ท I bought a small digital camera to leave in my bag. the pics look better and I donโt get distracted by the virtual world when I'm trying to capture something in the now
๐ I bought a kindle. It fits in my jacket pocket (literally) and gives me something to do when I'm on the train or waiting for an appointment that isn't scrolling
I just realized so much of the time I spent on my phone was not intentional. It was a thing I was doing in between Other intentional moments. my screen time is still several hours a day (donโt get me wrong) but I think my brain has healed at least 3%.
welcoming other ideas as well๐ก

1st an elaboration on ur screen time- what apps do u use the most? think of why.
2nd then find substitutions for them. for example ive replaced phone time with laptop time for when im at home
ive replaced phone when outside and bored or in transit with reading a book or observeing the world around me.
interrogate why you spend so my time on your phone; and what else you could be doing.
remeber we all go thru peaks and troughs.... stay strong queen.

using A.I. for art instead of using it to fix problems such as poverty, climate change etc is fucking weird
art is a way people cope with human existence and express feelings as well as share and pass down culture
why tf is A.I. in the mix
its weird to me

it can be overwhelming dealing with the absolute chaos of the world
i know that feeling- i usually get so mad i cry
but i learned that you can only focus on what you are able to control
caring about people and the state of the world shows you have a huge beautiful heart
but remember you are only one person
and while you cant fix the world
you can do your best to be part of it and do what you know is right
no matter what
