Never before in human history have people been constantly stimulated at almost all times. Even 30 years ago, you could be stuck staring out the window during a train ride or something.
My partner gets antsy if they have to pee without their phone. That shit may be common now, but it definitely isn’t healthy.
wanna personally add: audio media
I used to constantly listen to something: podcasts, audiobooks, youtube, never alone with my thoughts. After a while I noticed I couldn’t explain my mood shifts anymore, simply cause I wouldn’t have time to think through what’s going on in my own head.
I still love all that shit, but try to carve out some regular “alone time” to keep up.

Ironically, going pee is about the only time I don’t look at my phone during my days off.
