It will be different for everyone, but one thing that sometimes helps me is that I’ve started buying paper printed books again and I try to read before bed. It doesn’t always work, but I do notice it really puts my brain in a calmer state, and it is still an activity.
I also like music on physical media and enjoy listening on an old school hifi system. These are very affordable now in second hand shops, because everyone is connecting smartphones to Bluetooth devices nowadays.
I was kind of half writing to myself when I wrote that comment. I have a tendency to look for solutions to digital problems in digital tools or devices, but sometimes it’s simpler to just do the dishes or something like that and get away from the whole digital realm that way.
