Play solitaire, buy a book of crosswords of sudoku, write in a notebook, draw, knit, etc. using your hands and doing something screen free is delightful for me it’s crosswords. the fact that it’s not super productive and is just something that my brain enjoys is idk…lovely. I’m not building a streak or tracking this activity anywhere. All I have to show are finished crosswords which themselves are nothing to write home about.

My sibling brought copies of their student newspaper home for the holidays, and it’s been so fun to complete the crosswords by hand! It taps a part of the brain that I so rarely use and gets me to think creatively. One of my goals this year is to have more tactile hobbies, ones based in physical media, and between this, reading, and completing puzzles, I’m spending significantly less time on my phone than usual.

I got into it a few weeks ago and I can’t stop. I feel like that & Sudoku are underrated af (still have to get into sudoku tho).
Especially when you want to do smth without your phone in mind 🧍🏾

I love my little NYTimes games ritual (start with easy Sudoku, then medium Sudoku, Connections, Crossword, hard Sudoku, Tiles, and finally Spelling Bee if I feel really locked in). Still, the brain health benefits and fun of these puzzles feel diminished when I realize this is HOURS of unnecessary screen time.
I switched my daily puzzle ritual from online to a paperback, and I have never been happier. I feel so zen doing my sudoku outside like a fucking monk.
