I’ve been thinking about this sort of theme for a while.

Think about how much of our waking lives must be spent on screens, whether it is for work (Hello emails, hello excel), at home relaxing (hello TV, games consoles), or having a shit (hello mobile phone).

I‘m trying to spend more time away from screens, going on walks, meeting up with friends, bonking the wife - you know, wholesome activities.

If I hadn't spent whatever stupid amount of money I've spent on videogames.... then, yes. I probably would be better off than my parents at my stage of life.

Been doing this recently and my general mood has improved tenfold

Simple steps can have a profound affect on mental health.

It‘s also why I picked up guitar as a new hobby in my late 30s, and I try to read books more and doom scroll less.
