> What are the best practices... It largely depends on why you are spending more time than you want on screens. If you have an addiction to the screens, I would suggest counseling/therapy. Meditation will help slow you down so you can listen to your thoughts and emotions, which can help you figure out why you're addicted. Or maybe you aren't addicted but it's a compulsive thing. In that case, keep the phone and computer (and any device you don't want to look at) far from you, and inconvenient to get to. Maybe even lock them away in your safe for a time. But still find out why you're experiencing this compulsion, either with self reflection or counseling. If you look at screens more than you'd like because you're bored, find a list of hobbies online (about a year ago I found 2 or 3 lists that had a lot of options, and altogether had over 200 unique hobby suggestions). Go through the list(s) and make a shorter list of the ones that were most interesting to you. Start pursuing those. If you just want some ideas though, here are some that come to mind that are probably the most beneficial, in no particular order: - Mindfulness practice - Workout and/or martial arts - Practice cooking - Gardening (it's amazing to cook food that came from your own garden) - Long walks in nature - Anything artistic: play an instrument, paint, draw, etc - Woodworking - Archery
