Journalist Rachel Wilkerson Miller is promoting junk journaling — a free-form scrapbook filled with collected scraps, collage and found paper — as a hobby that helps people disconnect from digital overload.

Why now: People are looking for offline, low-cost hobbies to counter screen fatigue and anxiety from constant bad news.
