an activity that could consume your time as a whole and be fulfilling by itself are the most important characteristics. as examples, skateboarding, doing puzzles (either traditional ones, rubik's, gunpla, etc), cooking, reading, drawing, exercise, there are many physical activities (physical in objects or your body); but also stuff you can do digitally like writing stories or articles of any kind, video editing or photoshop, art, programming, etc. you can start from zero in anything and learn about the activity as you branch into it and leans towars specific areas
it comes down to what you have interest in or have considered you want to be able to do. you dont have to be a professional or make a living out of it, but something where you can fuel your time instead of spening it watching streamers playing a character with a moving image and talking about them and drama on a mongolian basket-weaving forum
i think the biggest first step any person wanting to stop being terminally online needs to do is to use their electronic devices to the minimum. your phone, only for calls, messages, music; get rid of anything that can suck up your time (and this includes yt and twitch to watch streams). surely you must have something around your house that you bought and never got to use it as you wanted, like a book collecting dust, an instrument sitting in a corner, clothes you havent used, running shoes that are still in the box.
a phrase that i love is: “The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so you better try to make yourself as interesting as possible.”
