School started this week, so I've been doing a lot of writing and drawing. Finishing up a big book, too, but otherwise nothing of note, activities-wise. Screen time, you ask? Oh boy. I racked up 6 hours of doomscroll time this week despite trying to bring it down. However, my overall screen time has dropped from 5hr 38min to 4hr 52min. Will try to keep this week's to under 4hr 15min. Baby steps. Peace, y'all. I gotta get back to work

This week, I began living with less technology. One way I did this, was to make analog stuff fun. Since I am quite an 'artsy' person, I did this by binding my own notebooks by hand instead of buying them from the store. This also means I can control how many pages, what type of paper and the cover much more easily. Today, I woke up very late since I am on holiday, but, I still read a book after waking up for 1h with no music. Then, I talked to my friends irl. It is midday and I'm about to go visit my sister. Tips: If you find reading books boring, get physical copies and annotate them. If you are just starting, using a little bit of social media may help, so it not a sudden cutoff, just be sure to set timers. Hank Green's 'Focus Friend' app has really helped me stay off my phone.

This week I did a good amount of writing and exercise. In my downtime, I sketched, meditated some, and did work around the house (cleaning, fixing appliances, gardening) while I listened to an audiobook. If anyone's looking for something to listen to while doing menial stuff, I highly recommend The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. It's an unbelievable work of fantasy with a hint of philosophy. Journey before Destination is my new favorite book quote. I did, however, doomscroll for around 4 hours in total. It is one hour fewer than last week, which is progress that I think I'm okay with. My goal this week is to try and keep daily phone use under 3 hours and doomscrolling under 3 hours as well. Enjoy the week folks! -Chello
