Screen time, Xfinity and stuff

Just wanted to write a quick little blog about this cause it's something I think about a lot lol.

I'm someone who's trying to cut down on my phone usage to spend more time reading, going outside, being with my thoughts and idk doing word searches (it might be an addiction at this point I swear). 

I've been wanting to switch to a flip phone or just a dumber phone for a while now, but wanted to start out with lowering my screen time to begin with, just to build good habits, y'know?

Today, I managed to below an hour of screen on time on my phone, which I'm really happy about. I probably have a total of maybe an hour and 30 if you count my gaming devices as well, but even so, I think it's pretty good. My biggest problem is mindless scrolling, so seeing that being cut down is so so freeing, I feel like I'm creating a better space for me. 

I had a super busy day today that included going to the Xfinity and try to change my plan which ended up taking, like, 2 hours cause of all the sudden great deals lol, it was funky. There was a super long wait, and I challenged myself to not look at my phone while waiting and just chill my brain for that waiting time. Don't want to sound like a massive "not like others" loser, but it was crazy seeing people just enter the store and immediately pull up, like, Tiktok and Instagram and kind of disappearing into their own world. Maybe I'm the weirdo here man, but I saw some sick ass crows fighting over someone's dropped food, so who's the real winner here lol.

Anywho, it was super chill. I'm just pretty proud of myself for trying to build better habits. I'm also trying to listen to more radio because I feel like I often go on my phone to change music, so why not just leave it up to a random station to choose that for me. Sometimes there's some bangers, sometimes you want to rip your ears off; it's the beauty of lack of control in this case, I guess. Idk, I find it pretty nice to just accept the situation. It's like a pause for your brain.

I don't know if I'm gonna go ahead with switching to an actual dumbphone, but I think it could be a bit liberating in a sense to escape feeling glued to my devices, especially when I'm away from home and really just wanna look at the crazy outdoors. I overheard this couple at Xfinity cussing each other out too with one calling the other a "crazy shit". I'm nosey, that hit the spot more than any Tiktok every will amen to that. I'm a drama whore

Anyway, I'm gonna go lay down and probs take a nap before hitting the gym. I gotta get my mega muscles up (ง •_•)ง
