Went off youtube, need entertainment

So since RH I only watch YouTube in the bathroom as a geder to prevent myself from addiction and scrolling, which inevitably makes me end up watching stuff that's worse than expected.

I also have no downloaded games on phone because don't want kids begging to play.

I work from home, long hours, but mostly when kids are in school. A big part of my job is waiting for other people to look over my work and give requirements, so there's a lot of downtime a couple days a week. I say loads of Tehillem, daven 3 times a day, and spend ay least some time every day on my todo list.

Now I'm pregnant and I am too tired to do much housework. So evenings and on especially boring days I get really bored but no energy to do anything around the house.

I do play a tightrope trivia/quordle type stuff sometimes. I am on some Whatsapp and a slack chat for people in my field. Out of boredom, I'm back here after leaving due to some nastiness.

What else can I do/play/watch that isn't garbage? I would watch something super clean on Netflix but everything has at least innuendos or is super boring. I read cookbooks sometimes on library app but no patience for real books now unless something I read already. I'm fairly intellectual but absolutely no patience now

This pregnancy is driving me bonkers. I need to chill.

I got rid of YouTube and got a dailywire membership. I still have something to listen/watch but it isn’t endless scrolling and watching. New things come out everyday, but there is a built in limit which has helped me a lot.
Good for you! It is so hard to get rid of something like YouTube but keep it up and may it be a source of bracha for you and your family!

Daily wire is what I watch in the bathroom lol. That's enough for me. Honestly sometimes annoyed by their language.

Thank you!
