The 12 Rewarding Things to do on Your Phone Without Internet

1. Delete Stuff 

Many of us have duplicate items.

We have photos, apps, movies, and documents that are no longer useful to us.

These stuff are eating up our space.

Therefore, when you are out of coverage, get the ball rolling.

Review these files, and remove them from your phone. 

Depending on your storage size, you might be surprised to find that it will take you hours. 

Get started with these tips: 

  • Delete any less than perfect picture. 
  • Delete multiple videos, documents, and images 
  • Get rid of apps you haven’t used for more than 30 days. 
  • Delete movies and pictures you no longer need on your phone

2. Compose a Few Thank-You Notes

Either we acknowledge it or not, we get help from friends, neighbors, classmates, and workers.

And in fact, members of our family.

Composing a few thank-you notes can set your foot on something more worthwhile.

Little help might get no attention, perhaps due to busy schedules and other tasks.

Therefore, using moments without the internet to send thank you notes will be highly appreciated. 

How to do it

  • Think about little things you’ve been helped with and write them down on your phone
  • Put down the names of those who did them, at least five for a start
  • Compose a different text message and send it. (If you can’t send them at present, save them)

3. Read Articles Offline

Offline articles are great resources.

We rarely get time to read articles we bookmarked. 

You may have stumbled on an interesting article on cooking, drawing, and making money.

What did you do next?

Did you bookmark it?

But wait, have you checked back on any of those pages?

You have the opportunity to do that now!

How to do it

  • If you want to relax, read up those offline pages
  • Ensure that you have plenty of bookmarks, so you don’t run out of offline articles to read
  • To be organized, you can delete the ones you’ve read or kept the link in your notepad
Hint: 

Google Chrome has a cool feature that periodically downloads and saves the offline page of trending news.

Creating time to meditate lowers your stress level.

It helps you understand your pain, connects better and enhances your focus.
