day 47: stop doomscrolling

hi there!! today i'll be talking a bit about why we should put down our phone. 

as i'm sure all of us are aware, our generation is going through a doomscrolling epidemic. actually, not just us, some parents and adults are going through this with the rise of tiktok, instagram reels, and a billion other ones.

at the beginning of 2026, i saw this trend called something like "analog era" which basically means that people are trying to bring back regular hobbies that aren't online.

these types of hobbies include any type of crafting, going on walks, reading, and anything you can do off of your device.

though i have also fallen a victim of doomscrolling, i've been trying to make better habits of using my time more wisely so that i don't procrastinate and essentially waste my time. i try not to go on my phone every second i'm free, though it's tempting.

one thing that might be helpful is to first find a hobby that you enjoy. and second, maybe keep your phone away from your bed at night because i know that MANY of use (including me) scroll endlessly before going to sleep, which is extremely unhealthy. and this is also helpful to not immediately go on your phone as soon as you wake up.

so now, i have a question for you. how much screen time are you using on social media? do you think there's a problem with those numbers? let that sink in.

i hope this helped a little in giving you a reminder and i hope to catch you on the next one!!

don't wish for it, work for it.
