At around the same time I started documenting my journey of overcoming my social media addiction, my parents gifted me a (a.k.a I asked for it 😅) espresso machine and a coffee grinder.

It helped a lot in lessening my screen time. Instead of watching others brew espresso shots, I could do it and brew it myself.

In average I spend 2-3 hours in my coffee corner. From set-up, calibration, brewing, experimenting to clean-up. As I practice and get more efficient, I’ll lessen the time I spend in getting that “perfect” shot of espresso.

I have read in a book somewhere that says, the reason why you are spending so much time on social media or on your phone is because you have nothing to-do.

Thankfully as I battle with this addiction. I have found some hobbies I can spend my time on, such as my blog, my espresso machine, cooking, baking and the gym to spend my free time on. As I master these hobbies, I’ll venture out to my other interest like photography, videography, singing, piano, guitar, baking, painting, doodling, and many more!

Always remember to find something fulfilling to spend your time on!
