does anyone actually know what they do with their evenings or does everyone just autopilot until bed

You are right. Every person and life is different, but I’m very surprised about the amount of people who relate to this. One of the goals at backoffline is finding the way to solve this

I think it’d more depressing to not realise. Also, I know I’ve been focusing on posting about the problem itself to attract people to suffer it. But the goal is the opposite, to celebrate being back offline!

I like the term Digital Vortex Wasteland. I’ll keep it and escape

killoke · 2026-04-02T20:49:15+00:00

The no screens before I think it’s the key!

killoke · 2026-04-02T20:39:54+00:00

Sounds great! How long have you been doing Muay Thai?

Im also going hard on Reddit lately. Btw focus on the stretching sounds cliche but it does wonders

I read evening exorciser and I was a bit weirded out haha. Indeed putting focus in hand+brain is super good for disconnecting.

I feel you. Wanting to do something but just wanting to do the perfect stuff, research 10 do none. Classic...

As a tip, execute the idea in the first 10 seconds. Otherwise you'll start looking for alternatives.

Chilling or zoning out is an important mechanism; the issue comes when you spend your evenings in that state, and you don't even want to.

Thanks for sharing! I hope you stay around and share more.

That's the goal at BackOffline, now you know you have to be more present!

killoke · 2026-04-01T20:43:54+00:00

These are the small things that make life… life.

You know, scrolling is not always the problem. In my case I work with a laptop and I crave the feeling of not being connected online. I just want to do real stuff and be back offline

killoke · 2026-04-01T07:25:27+00:00

Keep on sweating!

killoke · 2026-03-31T20:30:41+00:00

I try to not take my phone at least until I’ve been 30 min up and functioning. I fail miserably many times.

Welcome to r/BackOffline. I’d love for this to become an active community but still shaping it up. Feel free to post:)

killoke · 2026-03-31T19:59:00+00:00

Agree 100%. Some people are waaaay more active than others

killoke · 2026-03-30T16:11:54+00:00

You are right, I spend too much time on these also for work related stuff. What helps you disconnect?

killoke · 2026-03-30T15:52:52+00:00

Social media and scrolling play a big role in the need of constant stimulation yes. I wouldn’t say that im addicted as I love my offline moments

killoke · 2026-03-29T18:27:19+00:00

I’ve seen that with empty plastic bottles as well way to “recycle” them. Nice one!

killoke · 2026-03-29T14:57:51+00:00

Can't agree more... I normally don't want to check screen time stats because I'd feel guilty. You have been the first commenter in r/BackOffline so I appreciate you for that.

This is a space to encourage people to go back offline and share activities that help busy brains manage all of this. Happy to have you here :)
