Digital wellbeing - whats your screen time today?!

[glovepillow22]

Currently my digital wellbeing app is showing 4hours 30mins...
Absolute waste of time and horrified at some of my other days statistics!

What's everyone else sitting at?
Anyone any tips to cut the phone addiction? I wish I could throw the thing away some days!

3 hours 25 minutes today. Some days this week have been a lot worse. I really want to cut down and just put my phone in a drawer or something but with kids in nursery it's hard not to have it to hand just incase then find myself picking it up to mindlessly scroll.

@BabyBunnyMama the mindless scrolling! I hate when I realise I have achieved nothing after nearly an hour of refreshing pages 😡

Daily average 4hr, 46 mins

But last Tuesday it was 7hrs, 34 mins
Good knows what i was doing, I didnt ‘watch’ anything 😱🤯😂

2hrs 39min today 😱

Notifications are on average 100 a day 😱🤯
But last Tuesday was 150 😱

Average ‘Pickups’ 79 🤯

I don't see it as a waste as I enjoy it. Resets me.

What do you want it to be OP?

6hrs 55mins 😲

In mitigation, a great deal of that will have been Audible / podcasts and only 38 pick-ups. It would be great if my phone didn't count the hours that it was in use but just sat on the side 😆

I dunno, mine was 6 hours the other day, but that includes emails, research, coming on here, reading the news, looking at the weather forecast etc. It's a mini encyclopedia

Lots of WhatsApp chats too, I love those

Interesting thread. Mine is far, far too high. Going to try for a bit of a detox this weekend as I try and crack on with decluttering and cleaning the house.

4 hrs.
97 pickups
95 Notifications 😱

I'd love to ditch it. And the reels have got me recently on Facebook.

@frofrozendaisy I would love to be less than 2 hours. Imaginging what I would do or achieve with the 2 hours time I have just freed up.

ALOT of mine is Instagram, I'd be happier if it was more productive things like others have said like emails/researching things or even music 🤣

Don't get me wrong, I like nothing better than intentionally sitting down with a cuppa to catch up on things on my phone. Wish I could ditch the mindless scrolling and pickup habit though. When I don't have my phone on me I feel like I am missing a major organ 😳

Eight, I'm going to cut down massively and use the time more productively. Am only allowing myself a couple of ten minute bursts and will see how much better I feel. Phone going off at 8.50am until after lunch...

Good luck @mum2jakie 😊

I use 6 different devices some days, there is no App stat.
Total probably ~ 3-5 hours for work & ~2-4 hours for life, as my rough daily avgs.

What are pick ups and how do you see the stats ?

Thanks @glovepillow22 Just logging on for a ten minute lunch break. As daft as it sounds, I do feel better for not having wasted the morning on my phone!

@Lovemydoggiesomuch pickups are how often you pick up and look at your phone

You'll find your screen time usage in settings, if you have an android look for "digital wellbeing"
Not sure what apple is

My average is about 8 hours a day
Around 2.5 of that is social media
I run my business from an app
Reply to/send loads of emails, listen to podcasts while working, have google maps on when I'm driving . I don't think it's too much.

You can put it on your front screen as a widget on android. It's really interesting. For example I didn't realise the online shop took me an hour altogether.

@AceofPentacles Of course, everyone's will be different based on what they need a phone for 😊
