Second only to sleep
The average person spends 6.6 hours a day on screens. That's a quarter of your life.
Most of our screen time isn't productive. Research links excessive screen use to increased anxiety, sleeping issues, and loneliness.
Many apps are designed to exploit our attention spans. But we can't always stop using them—they provide real value, connect us to people, or are necessary for work.
The solution isn't to lock yourself out of your phone. It's about making informed, pragmatic choices and tracking your progress over time.
