As we all know by now, spending too much time scrolling and looking at a screen can make you feel anxious and distracted. But when you’re commuting, waiting in line, or just have some downtime  — and your phone is all you have with you — it’s easy to get wrapped up in your screen. 

It’s worth finding alternatives, because scrolling can have negative impacts on your health and productivity. According to a Harvard researcher, scrolling the news constantly or watching a lot of short-form videos (like the ones on Instagram or TikTok) can give you “popcorn brain,” which is when your brain gets overstimulated and it’s hard to adjust back to the real world.

You know the phrase “stop and smell the roses?”

I always thought it sounded a little cheesy. But my perspective has changed and I’m starting to think that whoever thought of that phrase has the right idea.

I used to be all about bucket lists, but I want to introduce you to the “Thimble List” — AKA “the stop and smell the roses list.” 

Bucket lists are where you put your big goals, like publishing a book or visiting a national park. These are great goals and bucket lists are an amazing way to keep track of them. 

But it’s important to have balance, and that’s why I’m also all about focusing on gratitude — like stopping to smell the roses.
