Now, What Do I Do?

It is believed that we spend so much time on our devices because we don't actually know what else to do. Most of us plan our day around what we need to get done, much of which involves a phone, tablet or desktop computer. Isn't it sad to think that our boredom is such that we will avoid it at all costs and fill our downtime with our phones? Boredom is such a necessity for creative, inspiring ideas to form and come to light. Tonight when you are planning for tomorrow consider planning something to do when you disconnect from the screen. What would you do instead with the four hours a day (on average) that we spend on devices? Plan it out - you can sit, read, listen to a podcast, draw, journal, daydream, help someone, create, cook, review your purpose, focus on what matters to you, put some proper planning into a holiday, be of real service to others. Plan how you will use your time away from your device. ​© GB
