Are you guilty of scrolling through your phone for wayyyy too long? How many times have you caught yourself bouncing from Facebook to Instagram to Twitter to Email and back for hours?

You’re not alone. Most people have this habit, including myself. But that can change. Next time you find yourself in a social loop, try doing these instead:

• Write an article for Medium (like I’m doing right now!)
• Call a friend or family member you haven’t spoken to in awhile. It’s a lot more social than “liking” photos!
• Write down your goals and get started on one this week. Add something you want to focus on as a recurring event on your calendar.
• Read a book, eBook or article.
• Listen to a guided meditation. You can find many on Spotify and YouTube.

And that’s it! You’ve now flipped your phone from a brain-drainer to a brain-gainer!
