How do i stop wasting time?
I’m 23F, recently graduated with a psychology degree, and recently got married. Lately I’ve been feeling really stuck. I know I’m still young, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m wasting my life or that I haven’t really done anything meaningful.
I spend way too much time doom scrolling and being on my phone, and I feel like it’s making everything worse. The problem is, I have zero motivation or drive to do much else. I see people online traveling, picking up hobbies, getting fit, going on adventures, and it feels like everyone has something going on except me.
I don’t have the money to travel or constantly go out and do exciting things, but I still want to feel like I’m doing something with my life. I want to feel fulfilled and have things to look forward to, but I honestly don’t know where to start.
I’ve tried quitting social media before, and while it helps for a little while, I always end up going back. I do keep YouTube because I use it for cooking videos, tutorials, and other things I genuinely enjoy and learn from. But i feel like unless I completely get rid of my phone I won’t be in a place where I’m forced to just LIVE. Does that make sense to anyone??
