Empower Yourself: From Scrolling to Blogging and Journaling

Nobody changed the world while scrolling.

Ever used the ‘Screen Time’ app on the iPhone (see above)? (Sure there’s gotta be one on Android phones, too). It’s scary to come face to face with the real number, knowing how much content you’ve watched.

Add on the odd video on other devices. The videos in your lunch hour on the work laptop, or something your friend shows you on their phone. This stuff adds up to some massive numbers.

The time taken to produce something is far, far less than the time we spend consuming.

Why not start your own blog, or write something in your journal, or start a journal or blog if you don’t have one right now?

It has to be better for you than watching more of other people’s stuff for hours on end.

Here’s a list to start you off with what to write about:

  • Day to day happenings
  • A quote from a book you’ve read
  • Three things you need to get done
  • Things you’re thankful for
  • A progress review on a project of some kind
  • New project plans
  • An idea
  • Something funny you heard
  • What you’re reading, watching, listening to right now

Obviously this is only the tip of the iceberg. Use it to get started and see what your own brain can come up with.
