Whether you're out and about or lounging in your bed, the temptation is there: pick up your phone.
Most likely the instinct to key in your password isn't because you have something productive to get done, but rather an impulse that is only going to lead to mindless scrolling through your Facebook feed or sending pointless snapchats to fill a few minutes.
It wasn't too long ago that we didn't have this option. If you were waiting for your friend at a restaurant you couldn't use it as an opportunity to cultivate your perfect life on Pinterest; and when you were bored at home you couldn't fill your time with a Netflix session.
So here's a list of all those things you feel like you don't have time for that you can do instead of looking at your phone (again).
