While reading the news on my phone (ironic) with a coffee, I wondered how many of you pay attention to your screen time?
I’ve been making a conscious effort to unplug for a while now. My daily average for the week is 2hrs 39mins.
What’s yours now? No cheating!📱 |

My daily average is 3h 53m which isn’t great. I too have been making conscious efforts to reduce my screen time by deleting apps but Fabs doesn’t help which easy access to cure the afternoon curiosities close to hand

"Nobody would bat an eye if you were reading an actual book or newspaper but if it's on a screen it's bad.

Sleep Disruption: Blue light from screens interferes with sleep patterns, resulting in shorter and lower-quality sleep.
Mental Health Issues: High screen usage is associated with increased risks of anxiety, depression, hyperactivity, and social-emotional problems.
Something we can't really avoid in this day and age, but should be aware of, we use blue light glasses for computer screen and TV.. |

I don’t believe it’s about good or bad necessarily. For me, an hour reading a good book is more beneficial than an hour scrolling mindlessly on social media that’s all. It’s simply a tool I use for self reflection🙂.

Fortunately the 8 hours a day I spent with two screens didn't have that effect on me but we had safety measures in place ...look in to the distance every 30 minutes, so that was all fine 🤷♀️🤦. Oh and we watched videos (on a screen) of how to avoid rsi and sit properly and got shipped off to Specsavers every now and again.
Using a screen is a habit I grew in to over many years and it's difficult to break

"My screen time used to be ridiculous but I’m now at about 4 hours. Need more balance in my life but 🤷♀️"
It’s definitely a challenge for sure. The article I read some time ago presented the example that 4hrs a day equates to 60 days a year looking at a screen. It was talking about phones of course, not computers during the working day etc. |
