Detox Doodles: Replacing Scrolling with Sketching

By Joy Chew

Lose the scroll. Find a purpose.

We've all done it... the automatic reach for the phone, losing precious moments to the endless scroll. I was caught in that daily loop, so I decided to fight back with intentional action.

On May 5, 2025, I swapped my screen for a sketchbook. I launched into a 100-day project: drawing every single day. This simple act became a daily meditation, replacing empty consumption with the rich satisfaction of being present.

What is Detox Doodles?

Detox Doodles is the hilarious and adorable visual record of my 100-day vow to trade screen time for intentional focus.

Inside, you'll find drawings of over 100 of my favorite animals, complete with silly poses, cute expressions and funny comments Every sketch represents a victory over distraction, proving that mindfulness doesn't have to be boring

This book shows how I did it, but the big idea is for you: finding a personal activity that works for you to replace mindless scrolling.

If you're waiting for motivation, this book is the spark. It is designed to sit on your desk or in your bag as a physical, funny reminder that your quiet rebellion starts today.

Time to put down the phone, find your own simple ritual, and rediscover the peace that waits for you when you choose to be present.
