Small Report: How Much I'm Failing on Screen Time Promise So Far :(
People succeed in some things while they don't go well with other things. We all are humans, so that's just the way it works. But you know, in my opinion what sets a line between those who make huge success and those who can't is to analyze what they are failing at at the moment and try to correct that specific problem.
So I'm gonna work on why I'm not doing good with digital detox so far.
The pictures below show for how many hours I used each app during these weeks.
The screen time tells me that I used Instagram too much. It's okay if you often post pictures or interact with friends on that platform. But in my case I just randomly scroll reels for hours and always regret the time I spend on the screen. That's a bad spiral you know.
Also, I could've used internet browser less during these weeks too. Maybe I should leave the entertainment aspect out for its use because I spent much time on watching videos and stuff. So if I use it only for looking up some stuff or learning, I wouldn't spend as much time on Brave.
I can't really compromise on Music though for that is one of the things that fulfill my life, improve my English and get myself immersed with international pop culture, like what kind of songs are currently big in the world.
Conclusion:
- Set app limit on Instagram for 30 minutes. Only use it to message my friends.
- Remove the use of internet browser for entertainment (like youtube)
The reason why I'm working on digital detox is if I become more conscious about how I use my phone, I won't waste my time just scrolling the screen and can save a lot of time per day. And that adds up to dozens of hundreds of hours in the long run. If I can spend time on other things like reading books, sleeping well, journaling, studying English, going travel, cooking and hanging out with friends, my life will be full of fun, enjoyment, happiness and lots of memories and experiences, and I can grow so much as a person.
We humans only have our lives once, so if I think about that, it's obvious to me which way of life I want to/ got to take.
