I try to read more but what else is there when I donโ€™t wanna just read? Iโ€™ve done some notebook stuff too but Iโ€™ve found using it too much makes me be anxious about writing a lot down lol.

For instance as I lay on the bed for 10-20 minutes waiting for my child to take their nap. Do I just stare into the void?

Have a pet? Also aquariums are nice for staring at and relaxing

Most foreign language apps teach in bite sized pieces. I use Mango, but there are a bunch.

Writing, movies, video games, going on walks, cooking, depends on whatever I feel like.

If it's 15 minutes or more, I try to clean. Or I take a nap.

Read the Qur'an, or Ecclesiastes and reflect upon it if the former scares you. ๐Ÿ˜
