Imagine a world where there was no technology. Just how would you get by?
We are so dependent on technology without realizing it. Our phones, TV, laptops, are all an integral part of our lives now to the point that we spend maximum hours in a day with them.
Technology is, of course, the future and a way to make our life convenient. It is there to connect us to the world and make us aware of what is happening around us.
But we are also too dependent on technology to the point that we have forgotten to appreciate and give importance to the little things in our lives.
The few minutes spent in solitude can give you the opportunity to reflect and take inventory of your life. You can find new ways to improve yourself and learn new things even without technology.
Here are the TOP 10 Things to Do without Technology
1) Read a book
Most movies and tv shows are based on books, so why not go to the roots?
Many authors agree that books must be written in a way where their words are only used as suggestions to the reader's imagination. The actual picture always plays in the mind and is often so much better than movie and tv show adaptations.
2) Play a board game
Nothing brings a family together than board games. Also, nothing brings family drama until a game of monopoly is played.
Board games can be fun and improve your memory and problem solving skills. There are many games that can be played solo, including card games.
3) Shopping
It's time to take inventory of your kitchen and finally get some shopping done. And if you are already stocked up, it can still be fun to go out and do some window shopping and get an idea of what prices are products being sold at in different markets. Helps with the budgeting later on.
4) Draw
Before people used cameras to take pictures, they often made quick sketches to capture a beautiful scene before them. Or even a person.
Drawing can be fun, and although you won't become an artist overnight, practice, and you will get better every time.
5) Play an instrument
We all have that favourite song that we want to keep listening to. Now imagine if you could play that music.
Choose an instrument you are familiar with or get a piano keyboard. You can teach yourself how to play an instrument and enjoy.
6) Journalling
They say everyone has a story inside of them. Why not find out what yours is?
Try writing a short story in your preferred genre or simply write about your day. Better yet, write all about your experiences in your childhood. Maybe it can turn into a memoir that you want to publish later on.
7) Gardening
Spending hours in the sun can do you good as well as using your hands to plant seeds and saplings. Gardening can be a rewarding exercise if you manage to grow fruits and flowers all by yourself.
8) Cooking
Cooking for yourself can be a fun way to spend time. You can learn and experiment with different recipes to create your own dish.
9) Craft work or puzzles
Creating something with your hands can be extremely satisfying, even if it is completing a complicated jigsaw puzzle. Pottery, sculpting, and paper activities can all provide you with amusement.
10) Organize your home
You may be busy all week, and during the weekends, you are distracted by technology. There are movies to watch, playlists to update, and social media posts.
Because of all this, you may end up spending less time on your housework.
Now is the time to organize your kitchen cupboards and your wardrobe.
Once your home is organized, you will feel at peace with yourself and be comfortable.
