(Newswire.net — July 30, 2020) — It’s become second nature – not knowing what to do so you pull out your smartphone and start browsing. Next thing you know, a few hours have passed, and you don’t know what you did.
We spend a lot of our time on our smartphones because they can do pretty much anything these days. A study in 2018 by RescueTime, an IOS app that monitors your phone usage, found that the average person spends three hours and 15 minutes on their phone a day.
With how much time we spend at home right now rather than being in public, that average is probably quite higher.
Instead of browsing around with no intent, consider some of the following six things you can do with your smartphone to keep you busy.
Learn a New Language
Have a trip coming up or want to add something to your resume? Try your hand at learning a new language. There are numerous apps available to help you learn a new language. They allow you to easily integrate the learning into your daily routine.
Play in an Online Casino
Like to gamble but don’t want to (or can’t) go to a casino? Well, luckily for you there are multiple ways that you can play online both from your desktop and mobile device. Many of the options don’t even require you to download anything. Simply play through your web browser and try your hand at winning some cash.
Get in a Workout
If you’re stuck at home all the time, it’s easy to fall into a rut of sitting around and watching Netflix. Prevent that from happening by downloading a workout app. You can even find ones that will send you a reminder to get your workout in. Stay moving, and stay happy.
