collaborative phone time
Two things that have been working well for me:
- using parental controls to brick my phone at night.
- collaborative phone time with my sister.
The second one has been really great. my sister and will sit huddled around her phone, or my phone, and we'll look through social media.
Getting heated about influencers doing dumb shit is fun! And stress relieving!
It keeps me away from those commentary channels run by other 20 year olds spewing absolutes based on bite-sized, screen-mediated interactions.
For the longest time, I've been trying to figure out why I would turn back to the slop mentioned above. There are a number of reasons why, but the core thing is I guess I just wanted to actually have an opinion on something.
