I try to read more but what else is there when I don’t wanna just read? I’ve done some notebook stuff too but I’ve found using it too much makes me be anxious about writing a lot down lol.

For instance as I lay on the bed for 10-20 minutes waiting for my child to take their nap. Do I just stare into the void?

Have a pet? Also aquariums are nice for staring at and relaxing

Can't relate. There is far more content to checkout then one can in one lifetime. Online and offline.

Hope you find your way to what you're seeking in life. Peace.

Read the Qur'an, or Ecclesiastes and reflect upon it if the former scares you. 😁

Writing, movies, video games, going on walks, cooking, depends on whatever I feel like.

If it's 15 minutes or more, I try to clean. Or I take a nap.

Most foreign language apps teach in bite sized pieces. I use Mango, but there are a bunch.
