“Do more things that make you forget to check your phone”
It seems like these days you can do anything you want from your phone, even some people’s jobs can solely be done on their phone! That being said, it can be very easy to get wrapped up in your phone and then realize that you wasted a few hours and are unfulfilled with all that screen time. That is why it’s important to spend time doing activities and other hobbies that don’t include your phone. A way to disconnect from others in the online world. That’s why today I’m going to give you 10 things/hobbies/activities that you can do in your free time!
