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
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.
