I've found myself doing the same thing as well, spending way too much time scrolling. So I've been de-hoarding/decluttering everything, not only has it been cathartic but I'm a bit more organized for it. Chores, Hobbies and Crafts is my new leaf (and in that order) and I'm loving it. Reading is the next thing to add to my hobby list. Great video as always and thanks for the reminder there's more to life than scrolling.

So believe it or not, I noticed this problem escalating mid July. I gave myself time to do other things, but I kept rewarding myself with little breaks that ended up to scrolling again. Overall, I deleted it from my phone. I'm on my tablet right now but it's for back to school advice. I haven't really had much to do on my phone since. I've found myself sketching more which I've gotten really good at, practicing music, cleaning, and socializing. I'm very proud. Sometimes you just have to remove the problem overall to see the change.

You can even combine some of these hobbies. Like listening to audio books while crafting or going for a walk and taking your book with you. Reading in a park, in the forest or just simply in your garden feels like a really amazing but still so easy thing to do :)

My screen time is already 7-8 hours due to work. Sometimes another 7 hours on the smartphone. I was shocked too. I loved doing puzzles as a child and picked up that hobby again last fall. I really want to try Lego with their “flowers”. That's definitely fun. My most enduring hobby is reading.

[TheGorgeousDinosaur]

Thank you for your great video ! I realised a few years ago that mindlessly scrolling made me feel depressed and that's when I also noticed that I had almost no other hobbies than screen time. We tend to easily forget how important it is to be bored from time to time, we are not robots and our brain needs some rest in order to be able to think and be creative. <3 (sorry for my English, it's not my first language)

[manpreet]

Can we have a separate video on your board games, puzzles and lego?

The bookseller at the end of the world is really a must read for booklovers like us. ✨💕

I have got back into making earings which is always quick and meditative.

But also I now paint my nails every week which just adds another thereputic step in my self care Sundays

[abijamie]

Of course I adore your usual DIY videos but I’ve also been loving the other styles you’ve been sharing lately! Thank you for the inspiration, I definitely needed this. Also all of your craft ideas were so fun, I’d love to see more tutorials in the future!!

[daisylua]

Really needed this reminder, thank you! Last year, I picked up making ceramics at home which was really satisfying, but with moving a lot and adjusting to new surroundings, I completely stopped doing it. This video was def a good reminder to pick it up again <3

[sena-vpyn]

I have to say that this video is really very good, its helpful and motivational
I’ve been feeling bad because of my screen time for a long and now actually im trying to improve my hobbies
And this really motivated me
So thanks a lot ❤

[TheClutterLady]

Oh my goodness, I've never heard anyone else talk about the book Attachments! It's my comfort read and one of the very few books I've read more than once...and I still plan to read it again. 🥰

[wendyduncan]

I too scroll more during the hot summer months. That star trivet was the perfect inspiration to shift to something more beautiful.

[spencerreid]

I just finished reading The Bookseller at the End of the World, I saw it in one of your previous videos and got our local library to purchase it! Thanks for the recommendation! 😊

[itstingtraveltime]

thanks for this video! it is very inspiring. I also found myself scrolling mindlessly for hours, trying to satisfy this itch and in the end it is always doing other things like reading, making travel videos, learning languages etc that make me feel good instead!

Not sure if this counts as a hobby, but as I don't have a car at the moment and I work mostly from home, I realized I was/am becoming pretty sedentary. I've always been pretty fat, but I decided to try to do something about it as the double chin is kinda becoming a triple 😂. A YouTuber I like did a video of him doing a lot of the exercises from the Nintendo Switch Fit Adventure game, which uses a flexible "ring" and a leg strap for the controllers to track your movements. He seemed to be getting a good workout from it and I liked the "gamefication" of exercising. The game also seems to have a lot of positive reviews. I've not exercised in ages, so something lighthearted and fun sounds more up my alley. My only concern is I live upstairs and don't want to bother my neighbors, but I have a thick rug in the living room and will maybe skip anything that requires running (maybe I can get away with a soft jog). I bought my set used from eBay, which saved me about $20.

I was shopping for sports bras and a scale to weigh myself when I got the notification for this video, lol. I'm not necessarily going for a dramatic shift in health, but just something better than being sedentary at my work computer or on the phone all day. I'm excited for my stuff to arrive 😊

[bunheadgirls]

I’m so excited to try out some of these ❤️ Lately I come home from work and just watch tv and go to bed, so I really needed a bit of inspiration to change things up and rediscover passions!!

[Catarina]

Ok so I just reading before bed but began to fall asleep so I decided to open YouTube and watch this video. The book I'm currently reading is the same book that you show on 08:03min!! "Before the coffee gets cold". What a coincidence!
I'm enjoying your video very much btw :)

[HumyraAElma]

It’s just one second in and I already love it!
