How do you manage screen time for yourself?
To say that I am managing my screen time well, would be an outright lie. But if I shift my perspective a bit, blur the lines, set new parameters it might even seem like my eyes aren’t constantly glued to a screen.
I work an office job and I am in front of a laptop constantly for roughly 8 hours. I do sometimes scroll through my phone during “this could’ve been an email” meetings so I do get some phone screen time during work as well. If I eliminate the work screen time from my daily screen time, then I am left with what I do at home and that doesn’t leave my screen time looking so bleak.
I walk to and from work so that gives me some time to take in the wonderful sights of moving cars, corporate buildings and pissed off drivers. Usually, I workout after work and while yes, there is a screen involved because I use Youtube workouts, I also do not count that in my screen time. It’s necessary and it’s not like I am staring blankly at the screen – I just need the preview of the exercise I need to do.
I spend a lot, I would say too much time, on Tiktok. I had TT a while back and then deleted it, but I reinstalled it again. I have to say, that no-TT period was very peaceful in my life.
What I need to force myself to manage better is absolutely my double screen time. I will sit down to watch a show or something on TV and scroll through my phone while doing it. That is what’s actually affecting me when it comes to screen time.
I think it’s impossible to avoid screens, but I definitely need to do a better job at managing how much I waste my life away in front of them.
