"As Sierra shared in her video, an analog bag is simply a tote filled with your favorite tactile activities - such as crosswords, novels, journals, or knitting tools - to keep you from reaching for your phone. When I began curating mine, I thought about activities I liked and went from there. Since I primarily work from my apartment, my goal was to create an analog bag that would help me decompress at home after a long day on my computer and phone."
"I started by making sure one of my favorite tote bags was empty. I placed a sudoku book, the novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (which I've been wanting to read for a while!), a set of sheet masks, a daily gratitude journal with pencils, a Rubik's Cube, a pack of playing cards, a puzzle, and a Playmobil figurine in it."
Persistent screen fatigue, including headaches and sleep disruption from late-night doomscrolling, prompted a shift toward tactile, phone-free activities. An analog bag is a tote stocked with hands-on items—crosswords, novels, journals, knitting tools and similar objects—designed to prevent reaching for the phone and to encourage decompression after work. Contents can be individualized and include puzzles, reading material, face masks, journals with pencils, fidget objects like a Rubik's Cube, and card or board games for shared use. The bag can be kept in a designated relaxation space to make evening transitions away from screens easier and more intentional.
