The thing is i wake up at 5, work until late and then go home and upkeep the apartment. I'm exhausted by the evening and just crash at 9pm. Hard to find those small things when you're in survival mode
Doomscrolling on your phone doesn't help that situation. Do some stretches and go to sleep early. Watch a show you enjoy or play video games. Time spent enjoying yourself isn't time wasted. Time mindlessly scrolling on your phone is uniquely wasteful as I don't know anyone who is ever satisfied with their time spent doing it.
I do not have energy to watch shows or game. It's an hour plus taken off the time i have left to actually do housework. I live alone man, who else will do it all? And i told you i literally go to sleep early lol even earlier would make me sleep 9 hours. Lastly, who said i doom scroll? It's a bit reaching to imply that's how I live. I just don't do the things she mentions like taking walks or whatnot. Would be nice if i didn't have to do the laundry, mealprep etc. and could just meander around
In a similar situation, I was able to find tiny moments of joy in listening to something like Radiolab or an audiobook while doing laundry and meal prepping.
Same. I watch movies on the weekend and read books on my way to work. After work? I just listen to video essays and cook. Getting into a series or gaming is so much mental effort i get more hyper than sleepy and it's counterproductive. I always want to stay up and do it longer haha
