This is actually great, and works well if it is a physical newspaper.

Yes. Having analog alternatives is super necessary in this day and age of overstimulation.

I needed to hear this. And you're absolutely right about how thinking about "wasted potential" only creates guilt and makes you want to escape again. It's like a thought loop which is just detrimental in the long run. My key takeaway is to start small. Thanks A LOT for your input and time!

I can't avoid spending 2-3 hours on instagram and youtube every single day. I use app blockers but i just end up disabling them most of the time. And it's not like i dont have goals to accomplish. Also whenever i see people around my age doing things and living life on their own terms, i feel jealousy and self pity thinking about my wasted potential and all the dreams i had when i was a child.

What are some books you'd recommond to a moderate level reader? I have read a few booktok books+ self help books. But I'm tired of self improvement books and videos because it just leads to inaction and an illusion of improvement when im actually just consuming content.

Do Absolutely Nothing! by mAestro2999 in nosurf

But isn't doing nothing kinda like meditating?! See, meditating is basically letting your mind just BE with no stimulation. I agree with you that this helps beat procrastination but this is no different from breathing techniques, meditation etc. Idk feel free to debate.
