Taking a break from the internet

Hey Guys I have decided to take some time off from the internet in my free time (unfortunately need it for work). Reason for this is that I noticed the internet, especially youtube, is eating me up and making me depressed.

I'll set a period where I won't use the internet for anything but checking my private email once a week for bills and such.

I'm getting one of those old phones so that friends can call or text me if they want to hang out.

Have you done something similar? Please tell me about your experience.

Also please suggest what I could do in all this free time. I do already read a ton and exercise regularly. I'm afraid that I'll be bored because I'll have so much time available...
