every week or so I have found a new painting online i love. I save it to my camera roll and then when I’m bored at work or on the subway or in line at the store I pull out my photo and just look at it

I like art ok. and I'm addicted to my phone. so I combined the two and tried to bring more whimsy to my smartphone experience by downloading the dailyart app. everyday a new painting is presented with a small text talking about the work and the artist, and you can browse other works too! this kinda sounded sponsored... I swear it's not (I wish)

This is a work of art that tries to describe the essence of another work of art. But what it has become for me is art in response to art. I take a photo or find an image and let it inspire a written work. Sometimes this is reversed.
Scroll through your camera roll and write something inspired by a photo, fiction or non-fiction. Go to the museum, the art gallery, look through a magazine, coffee table book, watch a movie, or people and write something that's inspired by something else.

It's a widget you can put on your home screen that changes every day and gives you a new artwork. You can then click on it and it gives you info about the piece. The artworks are also savable to your gallery!
I've lost count of how many years I've had this for but it has brought me a lot of joy over the years.

This was a truly horrid thought I had the other day when I was walking over the river while marveling at the water, the city lights, cars, and people. Scrolling and walking do have similarities and realizing this was valuable to me. Scrolling simulates visual stimuli moving across our field of vision as we navigate a digital landscape.
Taking a walk outside, making dinner, talking to a friend in person, or even just wandering around my apartment have all worked to minimize scrolling urges for me. They all also tend to involve the movement of my visual field with constant new stimuli.
Its also important to note that none of these tasks require intensive demands to focus attention. If I want to doom scroll I probably want to relax my brain from concentrated attention while engaging in a repetitive task. Just walking around my apartment is better than scrolling and often more realistic than reading. Finding ways to relax and procrastinate without using screens may seem counter-intuitive but I think it gives me more freedom. Plus I have never regretted going on a walk.

okay yes maybe its short because its a childrens book, but that doesn't detract from it being a classic of postmodern literature
