It's 9:00 am Monday - I've been up since 6 and I've checked my phone too many times to count already.
A buddy of mine sent me an article this weekend highlighting how much we as Americans use our phones, and 5 and a half hours a day on average for us is not the way I want to be headed. Article below.
I'm not as sure of the validity, but he was saying that it's decreased our attention span as a whole and contribute to a myriad of other common mental health issues that seem to be more prevalent today. I have certainly felt a need to check my phone randomly and can't focus as well as I was even 3 years ago.
Anyways, we all know they're gathering as much data as they can from us with every click, so I have decided that I am going to cut my usage down to as little as is feasible. I'd opt for an old flip style but I have to have specific MFA apps for work.
I'll try to document my progress, or any useful resources I find here.
I'm starting with about a 4 hr/day screen time average so I'm below "normal" but it's a huge time suck I don't need. If any of you guys have any recommendations please let me know
