If you had to give up all screens for a month, how would you entertain yourself?

A natural way to answer

I'd lean on the old-fashioned things, books, long walks, seeing friends in person. It would be hard at first, since screens are such a habit, but I think I'd end up appreciating the slower pace. It might actually do me good to switch off for a while.

Key phrases to use

• pick up — start doing an activity or hobby again, or learn it“I'd love to pick up painting again.”
• miss it — feel sad or empty because something is no longer there“I thought I'd miss it, but I didn't.”
• switch off — stop thinking about work or stress and relax fully“I find it hard to switch off in the evening.”
• climbing the walls — extremely restless, bored or anxious“By day three I was climbing the walls.”
