Having Hobbies Besides Staring at an Electric Screen

Am I the only one who’s been spending way too much time online?

Whether we’re working from home on our laptops, relaxing after a long day with Netflix, or chatting with friends on FaceTime, many of the days in 2020 seemed like an endless cycle of staring at one electric screen or another.

In 2021, let’s combat this by getting back to all the hobbies we picked up in quarantine and being consistent with them. Whether you were a quarantine crafter, began baking, read through 10 books, or trained to run a 5k — whatever your hobby was — get back to it this year and challenge yourself to a new goal. If you didn’t have time to gain a hobby in 2020 or didn’t particularly do anything fun that was a good fit for your free time, do what you can now to start a hobby that interests you. Let 2021 be the year when you escape the clutches of constant screen time.
