7 Things To Do Instead Of Scrolling
1. Open a window.
It's good to let natural light in and refresh the air in your home. Ventilate your home every day, ideally for at least a couple of hours.
2. Tackle something that's probably been sitting on your to-do list.
If you're struggling to get started, try one of these techniques: break the task down into smaller steps and start with one of them. Set a realistic time limit so you can get it done without spending your entire afternoon on it.
3. Go for a walk.
You don't have to go anywhere in particular. But if you're anything like me, walking without a purpose can be difficult, so plan to visit somewhere — a museum, a shop or a café. Enjoy letting your thoughts wander.
4. Write down seven things you did this week.
Not the things you should have done. The things you actually did. You might be surprised by how much you've accomplished.
5. Call a friend or family member.
You don't need a reason. "I was thinking about you" is reason enough. But remember to ask about things they've told you before, and show genuine interest in what they've been thinking about and how things are going.
6. Cook something that takes more than an hour.
Make the most of having some extra time. Cook something delicious, packed with vegetables.
7. Sit with nothing to do. For ten minutes.
It's the hardest thing on this list and the only one that truly lets you rest. Boredom isn't a problem that needs solving. That's Sunday doing its job.
