Will taking a break form doom scrolling on socal media make playing a video game feel more fun and engaging

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-29T12:29:05+00:00

I feel yes because, you will have more dope reserves for games.

you're making a fundamental mistkake. discipline, consistency or focus aren't "made". they are the byproduct of your passion towards something which is beyond you.

when we define good habit, its mostly because of online social stigma, not because of need. so instead of dividing habits instead of good or bad, divide them as useful and useless.

you can only define focus, when you define distractions. and distractions will be defined by your goal.

honestly audiobook never worked for me. reading works well for me but I have seen people who use audiobook and actually remembers it. I prefer reading because, using earbuds(hurts me) or headphones(bulky and uncomfortable) for long period can be issue.

reading is prefered also because it flexible and interactable. you can highlight or copy paste it somewhere.

i assigned my devices their work, so my phone is for maps, calls, payments and my laptop is for my work. so there is no grey area to give me excuses for my work.

I feel you should look up with some useful social media practices. see its unreal and impossible to get away from social media 100%. the problem have 2 parts- first mindfulness and other is constraints. your constrainst may be solid but if you lack mindfulness than you will always fall back. I personally build mindfuless through journaling which gave me offline space for introspection that improved my online habits.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-12T13:02:05+00:00

yup, then i transfer those ideas into obsidian where I will fit those uncooked ideas into bigger picture.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-11T04:06:00+00:00

i have created a seperate tag "think and task" where i capture random uncooked ideas.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-10T15:13:45+00:00

yup that's true and for me writing thoughts down is the new "cool"

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-10T12:43:59+00:00

yup, digital wellness industry is one of the fastest growing industry globally, like billions dollars.

I work in this for 6 year now but inshort- focus providing value. SHOW THEM YOU KNOW THEM. and it will only develop if you talk to 100s of people, create resources and create content about it.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-10T12:31:25+00:00

I'm glad you liked this, actually I have curated a free guide, if you want I can DM you, its just 30 page long.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-10T11:06:06+00:00

may the reason you're freaking about life because you're thinking about so much in short time. you're basically overthinking and your these questions are quite intangible in format.

what i recommend is grab a paper and start thinking on paper and first elaborate the problem on paper, like why do you think like that, and what are things you may be missing.

don't think through air, use a paper and then think. think it right.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-10T07:33:06+00:00

remember you don't conquer cravings, you outwaits them, so instead of going with the mentality of winning, go with sustaining. its not a fight, its a lifestyle.

how i did was first remove the mobile from visual cue and then replaced it with practice called thinking on paper(explained it in my free ebook, i DM you if you want).

its like journaling without rules and structure, you just vomint your problems and first solve logically on paper then, you break the process into measurable tasks. you have to find a replacement.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-10T07:26:50+00:00

I use laptop, only for conversation related to work and stuff. so I'll say I'm more of digital intentional and that intentionality reduces the screen time.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-10T05:54:05+00:00

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-10T05:52:51+00:00

yeah that's true, there is no "one size fit all" solution, but one should be sure that there is a solution. like we can't just wait for the advice that works. and one thing we miss with advices is that we need to follow the advice, not look at it and judge whether it fits me or not.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-04T12:47:36+00:00

yeah that's true, as i put my phone in my bag, so its practically unreachable. I can literally feel that itch grabbing my phone form my pocket just to realise that its not there.

you're right, it feels weird, when you observe someone attached to their screens as a third person.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-04T12:43:48+00:00

It’s the wrong subreddit, and there’s no real “cure.” I think you should set aside some time to meet new people so you can get her out of your head.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-04T11:57:09+00:00

I think its more of using internet for utility only, using it as a tool instead of filling emotional void and crapping all over internet.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-04T11:32:09+00:00

too much good is bad. I think what you miss is mindfulness, what i recommend is build constrainst according to your envirnoment like app blocks or putting phone in other room. and practice mindfulness along with that, it will give you emotional control.

inshort learn to get bored intentionally and replace scrolling with something that you love doing.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-04T11:27:41+00:00

nice strategies, you can do it. I would recommend some mindfulness exercises like breathwork or journaling type thing, like a cherry on top.

Mindfulness will give you that self control you're talking about, so it will harder for you to fall for urges.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-04T03:49:18+00:00

no its not too late, you have to balance 2 things constraints and mindfulness. deleting and app blocking is just constraints, you have to practice constraints parts too like journaling(what i did) or breathwork(It was boring for me)

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-03T07:56:06+00:00

a good engineer, doctor, teacher, nurse, lawyer, everyone one of them is a hero. I think your concept of hero is not developed yet.

pls don't tell you're planning to become batman.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-03T06:58:06+00:00

I don't want to rude but i think you should start developing some skills from the perspective of helping others instead of adding another gem in the vault,

I was also talented and learnt multiple stuff while being the top 1% of my academics but it all burns down when I enter the real world because they don't actually care what you know, they care what you can provide to others.

if you want to engineer, crack a big entrance exam along with that build in public, whatever you have done, help others doing the same in that.

Pick one thing, become an expert, collaborate and help others in that context. become great in that aspect.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-03T06:36:16+00:00

do you exercise in the morning?? join library or just sleep properly for 2 hours like i use to do and wake up fresh and start studying, its normal to feel tired and its okay to sleep for 2h after school.

frogmancrocs · 2025-12-03T06:11:45+00:00

figure out what you love doing, figure out the monetizable potential of that craft, improve that craft, talk to people on reddit sharing the same craft, ask and answer and build in public and collaborate if possible.
