Thanks, Patrick. I have that very same feeling of wasted time scrolling down, even when I'm tired and ready to sleep. That addiction triggers the need to watch one last video, and then I'm caught in infinite scrolling for hours. In the end, it's nothing more than wasted energy and time.

Absolutely true my friend. It's just too much. Our time on this planet is too precious to spend too much of it in front of the screen consuming things that don't give us value.

It felt nice to disconnect myself from the internet for a while. But I have to say it was not that difficult, since today is Sunday. The real challenge begins tomorrow :) Thanks for the heads up!

Great to hear my friend! Yes, the challenge to not get sucked into the screens within the week where we are more keen to distract ourselves! Good luck :)

some activities that make me forget about my phone are as follows: cleaning my apartment, organizing my stuff, planning my next trip, planning what healthy food to buy and what I am going to make with it, reflecting on the motivations of people and why said said or did things that upset me and coming up with a plan of action on how to deal with people with negative behaviours and how to remove them from my life, talking to friends.

Happy that you've found your way to disconnect from the phone and connect with yourself. Activities that help us enter a "flow state" can help. And things that give us quick and nice results like in the case of cleaning or organizing. Often with movement involved is always good. Once putting things in order usually our mind benefits from it.

@@patrickvogel very true!

I find that one major reason people get their phones out in public is because they feel self-conscious when they are on their own and it´s become acceptable to just stare at your phone so that people don´t look at you and just leave you alone. This is also a major reason for why people like to wear sunglasses and/or headphones in public.

That's an interesting point. I didn't think about it yet this way. Maybe there is some insecurity involved, too.
