20 fun things to do each day instead of scrolling on your phone
In our downtime from the working week, it’s very easy for us to get sucked into the black hole that is our phones.
We’ll open it up to respond to a text message, and the next thing we know, we’ve spent two hours scrolling through TikTok, playing a mind-numbing game or watching endless true crime documentaries on YouTube.
We know full well that our time can be put to better use – we spend a lot of our days looking at screens already, and so the last thing we should be doing during our free time is having our eyes glued to our phones.
