1. An anti-fidgeting device comprising:
a first member that is coupled to a writing instrument, wherein the writing instrument extends at least partially through the first member;
a second member that is coupled to the writing instrument, wherein the writing instrument extends at least partially through the second member;
a spinning mechanism that is positioned at least partially between the first member and the second member, wherein the writing instrument extends through the spinning mechanism, and wherein the spinning mechanism is rotatable around the writing instrument;
a mount that is cylindrical, configured to receive the writing instrument, and configured to move longitudinally relative to the writing instrument when a force is applied to the mount, wherein the mount defines an inner surface that includes a set of grooves configured to hold the spinning mechanism in a longitudinal constant position relative to the writing instrument; and
a weight positioned on a side of the spinning mechanism and configured such that a weighted side of the spinning mechanism is oriented downwards when the spinning mechanism is not rotated.
