Recently deleted Instagram, Reddit and disabled YouTube shorts. I now noticed how much I miss doing something โ€” like when sitting in the train or during breaks at work.

So what do you do with your idle time? Any suggestions?

Podcasts and audiobooks.

And I don't get hung up on those being "better" than YouTube videos. There are educational videos and there is enjoyable fluff and there is actively crap content (think stuff that makes you go into negativity spirals).

Educational YT is the same as educational podcasts or audiobooks, imo.
