What do you do for "idle time" on your phone? (lemmy.ml)

A couple weeks ago, I deleted social media off my phone. Insta and reddit was all that was left, but I noticed how much of a useless time sink they were becoming. My daily mood has also improved.

Now, I've been reading manga and playing chess online to fill the gap. But I'm still looking for suggestions on what else there is to do besides doom scroll. It's not like I'm outlawing the internet entirely, I still have interests and hobbies etc, but I'm open to just about anything.

Various solitaires via LÖVE Solitaire.

Simon Tantham puzzles

And, due to a Lemmy post I saw the other day, a game called Slice and Dice.

I came here to see if anyone else suggested Simon Tathams puzzles - it's a real gem! Perfectly dull, all-quality puzzles with no bullshit!

Yes slice and dice! I would hate to know how many hours I've played on that game over three different phones.
If you haven't tried them yet, slay the spire and balatro are also brilliant.

Slay the spire has so many hours on my PC. I absolutely adore that game. For some reason I bounce off of Balatro, it doesn't hook me in the same ways and I'm not sure why. I don't feel smart enough for it lol
