Benefits of escapism
- It allows a momentary reprieve from your circumstances, giving you a chance to recharge your batteries before you jump back into the fray.
- Escapism allows you to step away from your emotions when you’re feeling overwhelmed, and come back to a problem with a fresh mind.

When escapism goes too far
Escapism doesn’t make you lazy, but too much can turn into avoidance and make you stagnate instead of actively pursuing your goals.
It can cause problems with your productivity at work, in your personal relationships, and it can even cut yourself off from normal social circles.

How to wean yourself off of escapism
- Use the “real life-right now” rule: No (insert type of escapism) if I know there’s something I’d enjoy happening in real life, right now.
- Redefine what it means to escape: Instead of escaping from reality, you’re getting your energy back after spending it being productive.
- Identify what you’re trying to avoid: Pinpoint the issue and confront it for a moment.
- Keep yourself busy with things in the real world, both by confronting your issues and doing the fun stuff.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
