Waiting for the bus, on a doorstep, hell even on the toilet-put that darn phone away! Taking in the surroundings, taking a breath

started carrying around my notebook to help with this. i also like to put in my headphones and just listen to music. i realized constant phone use makes me stressed and doesnt give me time to reflect or think about anything

I so agree!! I purposely refuse to use my phone while waiting for things bc it's kinda depressing/disturbing/creepy/dystopian when you see a bunch of people all together staring down at their phones? I'm like, "I'm resisting that urge" and stare out the window or have a book or crossword puzzle with me. also just daydreaming and letting your brain space out sometimes is soooo undervalued!! it's how you get ideas and solve problems and just...be! those small in-between moments of "waiting" don't need to be constantly filled. I feel this way about wearing headphones in public, like in stores or whatever too...don't have to be in our little headbubbles all the time...

mg2 unlearn it. Carry a book and carry a camera - you will never be bored in the idle times of your life

mg2 life really does get better when you stop living on your phone/internet but it's a hard nut to crack. It don't come easy but it's sure worth the effort of unlearning :)

Going to restaurants alone and phoneless! Being in traffic! Having your train be stuck on the subway! Being incredibly early to things! Waiting is an extremely exciting activity if you let it be. Just sitting around and noticing things, noticing your body, noticing how you feel
