It's been a week and a half since I set the 5 hour limit but I managed to keep my screen time at five hours when it was at 13 monthly average before. I’m in school but even on school days it was at 13/12 hours so I was really happy I could reduce it, and I’m keeping up with it well for now, but I found that I'm still doing absolutely nothing with my days. I just zone out for hours most of the time. I draw but I find it really hard to do right now. To be fair it’s been like that for the past month or so so I’m not sure if it’s related to my general lack of motivation to do anything at all or just art block.

My country is in lock down rn so I can't go outside, and I still have trouble doing chores. Do I need to deal with my lack of productivity problem right now or do I need to deal with stuff one at a time? Because I know it takes 3 weeks to get rid of an addiction not a week and a half. But I also heard that I need to replace my addiction with a hobby, and right now I'm really just in my bed all day. So idk if I should try and do stuff at the moment or if I should wait for the three weeks to be over before trying to fix my life. But I mostly came to the conclusion that I need a hobby… but It feels like I can’t do anything.

So, I managed to drop my screen time from 13 to 5 hours. Honestly I did it at once so I thought I wouldn’t stick with it, but I did it’s been a week and a half now. Problem is I’m not doing anything. I thought that if I wasn’t as addicted to my phone I would at least be a little better at doing stuff that I want to do but nothing. I’m in school and we’re on a two week break but I just sit around and do absolutely nothing. I just day dream or reread a comic that I have at home but I can’t get myself to do anything productive. I’m not THAT bummed about it because I did reduce my screen time by 8 hours in one day so lack of motivation to do anything could be related to that but I thought if I can’t do something productive then maybe I could find a new hobby. I need something that doesn’t require going outside because my country is on lockdown.
