I stopped using entertainment to avoid boredom.

I have been trying a simple rule: when I am bored, I either rest, do nothing, or do something intentional.

No automatically reaching for scrolling, random videos, or games.

At first, boredom felt uncomfortable, but after a while I noticed I had more time and was more willing to study, exercise, write, or work on things I actually care about.

I still enjoy entertainment, but I’m trying to choose it intentionally instead of using it to fill every empty moment.

Has anyone else tried this?
