Which app/website do you regularly go to, that makes you feel your time was well spent?
I spend a sad amount of time mindlessly going through Instagram. Want to cut down, and replace with better apps, that actually make my time better spent. Curious which apps you all use that make you feel better after you use them?

Spending a lot of time on Grapevine now (grapes got me addicted)
It is well until the addiction takes over,
Social media can never make you feel better, they are designed to lure you into unproductive expensive experiences
They are designed to make you feel like shit. Quit it long time back and never been so happier and present. Just delete Instagram and see how your life changes.

Grapevine for now. Feels like home untill i see a salary card.
Shi bola ek dum. Kabhi kabhi to lgta h kyu productive hona h kyu successful hona h bc
I got you man. I feel the same. I stopped bothering about life so much. Simplicity rakho, aatma ko shanti milti hai
Pinterest. Their search algorithm is amazing. UI is clean, great to create moodboards.
As an idea box mostly. I create boards for projects be it work or personal. For eg, recently I was working on designing the checkout flow for a digital product. For visual design, I created a board and put in ideas that were unique in some ways. After about 10 pins, pinterest gets good at automatically suggesting similar ideas. So it evolves without me searching by myself.
On the personal front, recently redesigne the kitchen of my parents house. Had a particular design style in mind, so I collected photos pertaining to the materials to be used, the fit, finish, pattern of countertop etc. After this, all i had to do was share the board via whatsapp to the contractor. It gave him a holistic idea of our vision.

Audible when I’m bored. Usually paired with a walk. Highly recommended over scrolling insta, x, linkedin, or even this app
This! Audible is so so underrated, the best way to occupy any time vacuum you have in any time of the day.

During weekdays' office hours (9am to 7pm), I am keeping major social media apps like fb, insta, snap, grapevine, WhatsApp, linkedin locked via focus mode.
All notifications are turned off and if I forcefully open the app - i can use it for 5 mins only, after which the app gets killed automatically. This 5min kill acts as a break point and I realise that I am wasting my time and I quickly move on to work.
Helped me reduce phone time from 2hrs to less than 30mins during office time. Suddenly I got more productive at work.
Habit worth keeping. 😊

Seriously, too much compulsive scrolling and mindless chit chat that is eating into the day.
I use telegram
It's not an addiction, but some sort of time pass
Shopping deals channels
VisionIAS for important news
Work area related groups
Any discussion group like tech, profession
Movie/series review
Random music spamming bot
Wallpaper group
telegram themes group
And I have personalized bots like zlibrary bot
Overall It's better then short attention span SMs

I tried medium, but most of the articles or maybe 99 percent articles are paid. Is the subscription mandatory there on medium?

Keep the phone down or close the computer. Do anything else outside of that And they will be helpful in someway or the other than mindless reels
Disable all app notifications, even grapevine.
Also start reading old fashioned forums, like techenclave/teambhp/technofino/jj mehta whatever piques your interest.
Then you'll only enter when there's time, notifications are frequent trigger for mindless scrolling.
