It’s about that time of year when you look out the window at 6pm and wonder if it’s socially acceptable to go to bed.
The sun starts setting earlier, the evenings feel longer, and suddenly there’s a whole lot of time between dinner and bedtime that seems to disappear into our phones. You sit down on the couch to check one thing, and before you know it, an hour has passed, you’ve watched twelve videos of someone organizing their refrigerator, and you’re wondering where your evening went.
Sound familiar? (Same. No judgement!)
Now, we’re certainly not against a cozy night on the couch. There are few things better than putting on your pajamas early and watching your favorite show! But there’s something really nice about remembering that just because the sun has gone down doesn’t mean the day has to be over.
In fact, these earlier evenings are a pretty wonderful opportunity to slow down, try something new, spend time with people you love, or finally enjoy the little things you always say you wish you had more time for.
So, the next time you find yourself reaching for your phone out of habit, consider this your little menu of other things to do instead.
