So I have multiple journals, the one I carry around in my bag on a day to day basis is a very small one, doesn´t take up much space, doesn´t weigh a lot. It just serves the purpose to keep my hands busy when I´m on the bus or train, waiting for an appointment etc or just have time to fill.

I did this way before quitting my smartphone journey completely, because I noticed I didn´t even want my phone, I just wanted something to do with my hands. So every time I felt like grabbing my phone for no particular reason, I took the notebook instead.

I write out grocery lists, to do lists, song lyrics, I doodle around, write random sentences about my day, it literally doesn´t matter.

This really improved my life, my screen time declined because lots of time spent on my phone was just uselessly scrolling while I was on the train to work, or waiting around.
