Love this so much! This quote inspired me, “instead, try this: replace your doom-scrolling with something that feels like it’s for you.” It made me think about my post-work transition and what I could do to make it less mundane because I’m soooo guilty of this. I work from home, so it’s tough to make a real transition. (No more train or car to help me relax) I love the idea of journaling or listening to a post work playlist though! Thank you for the suggestions!
