Make money doing the work you believe in

Collective brainstorming session: I am working on a post in response to this reader’s question and would love to hear your ideas! In what ways do you use your short bursts of free time during the day that do not involve your phone/computer? Would love to hear not just from mothers, but anyone who is deliberate in minimizing time online.

I am wondering if you have any advice for mothers of young children who sink into the online world during the brief breaks of the day. Moments of rest with 2 children under 2 are hard to find--especially moments that last longer than 2 minutes. I find it easiest to escape into the short-term gratification of my iphone. I know that I shouldn't do this, and that it's harmful t myself and my relationship with my children in a myriad of ways, but I struggle to imagine/desire other ways to fill my short bursts of free time.
