What do you all do on your phones that isn't doom-scrolling or mindless mini games? (beehaw.org)

I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I'm wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.

Honestly, since Reddit became dead to me, I spend a lot less time on my phone overall. Aside from the things you mention, I usually keep an eye on my work emails and messages, just in case there's something I need to be ready for in the morning.

Aside from that, my phone's primary purpose during personal hours is to use IMDb to settle friendly disputes with my wife in front of the TV. ;)
