How I STOPPED Doomscrolling as a Student (Build an "Analog Basket"!) 🧺✨
Are you constantly exhausted from midterms and falling down social media rabbit holes instead of resting? Same. 🙋♀️ Recently, I realized my screen time was through the roof, and "doomscrolling" was ruining my study breaks and my mental health.
To fix this, I decided to revisit my favorite childhood hobbies and built this Analog Basket! 🧺 Now, whenever I feel the urge to pick up my phone and scroll, I reach for this basket instead. It has completely replaced my bad habits with creative, screen-free downtime, making my brain feel so much lighter before I have to get back to studying.
What’s in my Analog Basket?
📚 Fiction Books & E-reader (currently reading A Little Life & The Song of Achilles) 🖍️ Coloring books & Sketchbooks 🎨 Watercolor sets & paintbrushes ✏️ Colored pencils, markers, & oil pastels 📔 Scrapbooking supplies & sticker books
If you are a high school or college student feeling the burnout or "brain rot," this is your sign to build your own analog basket! Let's romanticize our offline hobbies again. 💌
