 I have noticed that when I watch the screen or do homework for too long, my mind starts to wander, and I tend to go to distractions like youtube or video games. So I want to make a blog specifically rediverting my habits. So I will make a list of distractions that I tend to go to that get me trapped, and I will write replacement habits that I can do instead. Non-helpful trap Habits: Going to youtube Going to the kitchen to snack on something Minesweeper Facebook Playing the piano Replacement Habits that could take no more than 5 minutes Walking up the hill and back Getting a drink of water Quiz self on musical Repituar Meditation 1 beat saber song Splashing water on face (it may be a good idea to get a squirt bottle) 1 session of the home work out app (15 minutes) Stretching Talk to room mate about what I am learning Switch to paper record self with eyes closed talking about what you are learning Ask myself as many questions about subject
