Getting super bored of most online/phone content, what do you do when you have a few minutes? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

I try to read more but what else is there when I don’t wanna just read? I’ve done some notebook stuff too but I’ve found using it too much makes me be anxious about writing a lot down lol.

For instance as I lay on the bed for 10-20 minutes waiting for my child to take their nap. Do I just stare into the void?

Reading on my e-reader (e-ink) or print books. Short periods - eg waiting for a kid to do something - are good for poetry. Meditating. Listening to music. Listening to podcasts. Sometimes I’ve taken out some paper and doodled while listening to something - which is really gratifying (even though I’m no Picasso). I also cook, which is wonderful. Or I go for a long walk. I’m also actively trying to fill my time with offline human engagement - volunteering twice a week and participating in a men’s group (a safe space for men to share their experiences).

Read the Qur'an, or Ecclesiastes and reflect upon it if the former scares you. 😁

Can't relate. There is far more content to checkout then one can in one lifetime. Online and offline.

Hope you find your way to what you're seeking in life. Peace.
