I find that when I am really into a new hobby that doesn't require my phone I tend to be super into it and forget about using my phone. For example: Lego building, jigsaw puzzles, reading fiction books, etc. You can do it!!!

Trying out new stuff and getting really into it is tight! Go to a pottery class, teach yourself how to draw, sign up for a race, mod an old ipod!

i use apps (the Opal app) to help cut down screen time, which somewhat works, but I find that crafting helps me the most. I learned to crochet in the past year and it's amazing to do in front of the TV, where normally I'd sit and move my eyes between 2 different screens. I also take it on planes, trains, etc., anywhere where I could scroll endlessly while waiting. Also is nice to craft before bed while perhaps listening to music or a podcast. The world is your oyster!
Other crafts you can do: knitting, embroidery, needlepoint, drawing, painting, handbuilding

When I find myself getting into this state, it’s usually because the things that used to excite me or give me purpose, don’t anymore. Recently I found myself getting in that exact state. Totally uninspired by everything. The school year had just ended, I had just gotten out of a relationship, and I no longer had something to fill my day, or give me purpose. So I started boxing! A hobby that makes zero sense with who I am as a person, which is kind of why i love it. I love that it’s something i am starting from scratch and it’s fun to see my progress develop. It’s also given me a new community outside of my normal routine. So i recommend diving into a hobby that might seem unexpected and focusing your energy into that, you never know what it could turn into.

If you don’t like too much violence or gore i’d stick with Monk. However, it’s still crime related!
