(Closed) Replacing screen time with craft time 🌱✨️ challenge/group chat <3

,

Heyyy everybody :waving_hand::heart_hands:
Sooo, if I’m being honest, lately I have been on my phone and scrolling a lot more than I would like. I have plenty of other things I could be doing, but instead of making a decision of what to do with my time, I get lazy and go and doomscroll only to realize I spent the last 2 hours doing nothing. Which doesn’t make me feel very nice. Life is a great thing to have and I know I would feel a lot better if I spent my time creating rather than consuming, and I know there are other people who struggle with this too.

Now here’s what I was thinking, we make a group chat to help challenge us to spend our time crafting, or really doing any hobby or interest you have that makes you happy instead of spending too much time on your screen :)
I think what we’ll do is-
• every week we will write down some things we can do instead of scrolling. It can vary from a short 5 minute activity to a long project that requires a lot of attention, everyone is different so just think of what sounds accomplishable to you.
• at the end of the week we can share everything we made/did, and optionally how much less (or more) time you spent on your screen/scrolling!

This will hopefully motivate us to keep up with our goals, and encourage others to do so as well ^^

Disclaimer:
-There will be NO judging or comparing!! Everyone is different and if someone ends up spending more time on their phone, or doesn’t do as much as someone else that is OKAY, this is all to help motivate and encourage us to get better at spending less time on our screens, so please don’t compare yourself to others or beat yourself up if you don’t meet your goal or do as good as you wanted to <3

Edit: this is closed now, there was a lottt more people than I expected that wanted to join lol. Thank you everyone for for your interest!! I will make the group chat as soon as I can :revolving_hearts:
To join:
Just comment that you would like to join and leave your favorite emoji!!
I will probably set up the gc at the end of the week :]

Please lmk if you have any questions!! Sorry this post is kinda all over the place, and I might have forgotten some things :sweat_smile:
