either you start digging into etymology and deep cut grammar rules and studying why they are the way they areâŚ.
or you write the silliest, non grammatical sentences you can think of and then figure out why theyâre wrong and if their value is actually impacted by grammar

write and talk in an ideosyncratic style. pronounce words in the way you like to even if itâs âwrongâ. spell with a flair for the creative. it will make u harder to understand but people love an incomprehensible mystique

Next time you write something, look back at it after 24 hours.
Try to change any Latinisms to simpler, more Germanic words. (Change âfortunateâ to âluckyâ, for example).
Try to change passive verbs to active (âwe threw the rockâ vs âthe rock was thrownâ).
If the word or phrase would be used in a corporate setting, get rid of it (âin terms ofâ, âcircle backâ, âaction itemsâ can be changed to âaboutâ/âregardingâ, âcome back to thisâ, âthings to doâ etc.
Hope this stuff isnât too obvious and is perhaps a little helpful.

at least casually. donât delete the accounts but donât have the apps on your phone either.
rediscover your love of reading thru the magic of recognizing titles strangers are holding on the subway. become a subway reader.
donât use sound as an escape from your thoughts/feelings/surroundings. grocery shopping without headphones is actually kind of beautiful!
pick up a new hobby or two or three. one of them should be something youâre not good at, and at least one should be no- or low-cost.
never. stop. learning. the library, the parks and rec department, and nearby museums offer great materials already but also usually have free lectures or courses.
go outside more. like, a lot more.
(took this much less literally, so apologies if itâs not what youâre looking for lol â as a narcoleptic I have no tips on how to Not Sleep since Sleep is basically my job)
