It is quite confronting to receive a notification every week of how many hours you spent on your cell phone this week. What did you actually do all those hours? Scrolled through TikTok and look at the perfect lives of influencers on Instagram? Can we still live without a smartphone? You can try it out in an afternoon. Just a day offline, but what do you do? We have made a list of fun activities for at home, where your phone remains in the cupboard.
Baking
This activity is not only relaxing, but also rewarding. Because when you plop down on the couch later, you can still enjoy it. Baking, maybe you did it as a child with grandma or your mother. Choose a tasty recipe and get started. We bet the pastry tastes extra delicious.

Me, myself & I
Me time. When was the last time you had a moment for yourself, without a phone? Enjoy a bath with your own thoughts. Put on music and listen without being distracted by an app. Meditate. Write down your thoughts or moments of happiness. Enjoy a cup of coffee outside in the sun. Write a sweet letter to someone you love. We all need days like this. Take a moment to reflect on the here and now. Give it a try!
Photo album
Our phone is full of thousands of photos. When do you really take a good look at that? Print your favorite photos and enjoy an afternoon of crafting. Buy a nice book and paste all your favorite memories in it. Write a nice text or quote from that day under the photos and you have a very nice and personal photo book. Are you printing photos anyway? Then print out a few for your photo frames.
Read
We watch series for hours, but why don’t you read a good book for hours? Did you know that 9 out of 10 series you watch are a film adaptation of a book series? Read your favorite series or the book that has been waiting for you on the bookshelf for a while. Relax on the couch with a blanket, in the bath with a candle or in the sun. Wonderfully relaxing and you imagine yourself in a completely different world.
Tidy
Didn’t have time to clean out your closet? You have that now. Throw everything out of your closet and let every clothing item pass through your hands. Sell the items you’re tired of online and earn money from this afternoon cleanup. Do you have an excuse to buy something new?
