What do you all do on your phones that isn't doom-scrolling or mindless mini games? - Beehaw

I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I’m wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.

Get a lot of spam calls and texts Read e-books Keep email notifications up to remind me to check them on desktop Watch Youtube to fall asleep Listen to my work in progress songs between working on them, take notes on what to do next

Read e-books

There have been times when I have wanted to do that, especially when I forgot my physical book when I’m outside the home and I have some spare time…

Regardless, I don’t know why I never feel comfortable with it, perhaps I’m a bit spoiled with my iPad and my Kindle, I have the same feeling for mangas and for comics.

It’s exactly for that convenience and random downtime that I keep a few on my phone! Waiting in line has never been so enjoyable.

Perhaps, as a backup option might be a good call.
