I started writing down my dreams first thing in the morning and I remember them so much more clearly now. Sometimes when I read it back, it feels like I can’t recall any of it but then i get a flash of recognition of a moments or setting, like little pieces of a film coming back to me.
I tr to also do a regular journal but am not as consistent, it’s in the same notebook but a different color pen. I’ve found it very helpful to write when I’m anxious, avoidant , or just struggling to turn my brain off.

Take a few minutes when you get up to jot your dreams down when you wake up. It’s a good way to transition to being awake and sometimes dreams are worth reflecting on, even if they’re just funny or nonsensical or beautiful.

at least casually. don’t delete the accounts but don’t have the apps on your phone either.
rediscover your love of reading thru the magic of recognizing titles strangers are holding on the subway. become a subway reader.
don’t use sound as an escape from your thoughts/feelings/surroundings. grocery shopping without headphones is actually kind of beautiful!
pick up a new hobby or two or three. one of them should be something you’re not good at, and at least one should be no- or low-cost.
never. stop. learning. the library, the parks and rec department, and nearby museums offer great materials already but also usually have free lectures or courses.
go outside more. like, a lot more.
(took this much less literally, so apologies if it’s not what you’re looking for lol — as a narcoleptic I have no tips on how to Not Sleep since Sleep is basically my job)

keeps it funky, keeps it fresh! a book for outside, a book for downstairs, a book for bed, a book for the subway, a book for the bathtub…..
