How to Reduce Screen Time?


Most of my waking time is spent staring at a screen. Both at work and at home (YouTube, Games).

I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for fun things to do that don't involve looking at a screen at all.

Here are a few ideas:

- Listen to podcasts/audiobooks

- Sports, Outdoor activities

- Arts and crafts

- Music

- Reading (though that also causes eye strain)

More ideas?

Cooking, cleaning/home improvement, working out...

Just imagine what you would do if someone took all your screens away for a few hours.

I’d say the most important thing that helps me not look at screens, is being together with friends and family.

Other than that, maybe volunteering somewhere could be a good change of pace compared to sitting behind computers all day?
