I have made progress in stopping using my phone for retarded shit, I work out, meditate, socialize, do art, or do my work.but there are still many gaps of time where I feel a burning need to be entertained, most times it's when I'm eating, waiting for something to cook, taking a shit, waking up, going to bed, waiting for a reply, waiting for the bus.little dead time moments that I need to be filled with something, if I don't grab my phone I just start chewing my nails, is there anything short and dopamine filling that can fix this?
You like to read? Keep a novel on hand or something.If you enjoy that, maybe get a kindle.I keep one with me when I go out and whenever I have to wait for some shit, I read a bit.
>>32331192>most times it's when I'm eating, waiting for something to cook, taking a shituse headphones and audibooks, i have digestive problems so all of these things take a long time for me, now i just listen to non fiction audiobooks instead of browsing social media and this helps me make use of the time better.>waking up, going to bed, waiting for a reply, waiting for the bus.i recommend getting a more rigorously sleep schedule. i have lazy hours and active hours scattered throughout the morning. if i wake up at 5 am i'll leap out of bed immediately, if i wake up at 6:30 i'll laze about for like two hours. so i try to just wake up at 5 am and cut out these lazy hours.>if I don't grab my phone I just start chewing my nailsthis is a different problem, you have some kind of neurosis which may be overclocking your nervous system. go to a psychologist.
Trashy paperback books or comic books get your foot in the door for reading. The kind of thing that was roughly seen as the equivalent of TikTok for teenagers in the 40's. Find "genre" fiction you like and go to town (space, westerns, medieval shit, weeb shit.) Some day, god willing, you might be able to enjoy yourself in the real world without always having access to a stand-in. That's what we're all fighting for. But getting a reading habit will pay dividends in many ways.Oh, and get a flip phone. You can just switch the sim card back over if you have one of those "emergencies" people always talk about but rarely seem to have. But that's annoying enough that you probably won't do it just because you're bored taking a dump.
