I think the topic of the infographic I want to do is: Better places to focus your attention
https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/digital-detox-ideas/
According to this website, four examples of places where you can positively give your attention to rather than your phone are
- Developing a creative skill
- Completing tasks/chores
- Physical activities
- Swapping to more face to face communication/interactions
Developing a creative skill is a great alternative to endless scrolling. This is because it helps build your focus and mental well-being. Using your creativity, with no pressure, and seeing your project through is extremely beneficial for your mind. It allows you to have full control of your imagination.
Completing chores is another great alternative because it keeps your mind busy while also making you feel accomplished by the end of it. Accomplishing goals even as little as doing the laundry is good for us long term because then our to-do list doesn’t stack up and overwhelm us in the future. Time spent on eliminating tasks is better than getting nothing done while scrolling.
Physical activity whether it’s recreational or purposeful is extremely beneficial for ourselves. Putting our focus into working out and moving our bodies is much better for our health long term than phone usage is. Our bodies were made to move and be used, not just our thumbs! Getting into shape and getting our heart pumping is going to create more dopamine that is long lasting than mindlessly scrolling will.
Finally, swapping to more in person communications is much better than through a phone. Not only does it develop more meaningful conversation, but it also develops stronger bonds with those we communicate with. We’re also more prone to talk to more people this way because if we don’t have someone’s phone number there is no bridge for communication.
