Find Your Flow with an Analog Bag

Research shows that excessive screen time is linked to increased anxiety, poor sleep quality, and reduced attention spans. A 2023 study found that 64% of adults feel they spend too much time on their phones, yet struggle to put them down.

Analog activities like coloring, puzzles, and journaling activate different parts of the brain than digital tasks. When you color a mandala or solve a sudoku puzzle, your brain enters a flow state — a meditative condition that reduces cortisol levels and promotes relaxation. Studies from the American Art Therapy Association show that just 20 minutes of coloring can significantly lower anxiety levels.

The analog hobby trend isn't just nostalgia — it's a response to digital burnout. From Gen Z rediscovering film cameras to millennials filling adult coloring books, people are craving activities that offer tactile satisfaction and a sense of completion that infinite scrolling never provides.
