I'm
Horrified

I just went into settings on my iPhone and battery and there is a screen time thing.

I average 5 hours a day on my phone.

Wow, that's so bad I can't quite believe it.

Come on, be honest, how long is yours? Please don't let me be the only one.

Also I clearly need to do something about this so hints and tips welcome please.

The irony that I'm online moaning about how much time I'm online ....

Not on any other social media other than the occasional look at Reddit.

And Mumsnet...?

I'm finding these posts from people coming onto Mumsnet - basically the very definition of an internet time-sink - to tell us all how superior they are because they don't waste time on their phones so bizarre!

I average 3-4 hours, though like others that does include podcasts and listening to music when I run. It's still too much, though, and reflects the fact I've been a bit low and lethargic recently. There's definitely a connection, and one reinforces the other.

I use it for phone call the odd message

I cannot understand what anyone can do in screen for 5 hours a day other than look at other peoples boring and narcissistic shit on social media

To me that is a waste of a life

Go and see friends
Talk to people
Do a sport
Read a book
So many better things to do with your life

The irony of this is hilarious
