Deep dives

Finding high-quality analog alternatives to digital activities

To start, Gabriel can look for analog alternatives that provide similar experiences to the digital activities he enjoys. For example, if he likes watching sports clips on his phone, he could try attending local sporting events or joining a recreational sports league. If he enjoys video games, he can explore activities like paintball or board game gatherings. The key is to identify the underlying pleasures of the digital activities and seek out real-world equivalents that offer similar enjoyment and engagement.
