According to a new study, In 2021, people in the world’s top 10 mobile markets for Android spent a solid 4.8 hours browsing apps, according to app analytics company App Annie’s State of Mobile 2022 report. That’s roughly a third of our waking hours. 4.8 hours staring at a tiny screen. Imagine explaining that to somebody back in 70s, 80s or heck even 90s! They would be baffled! Now I am a victim of that as well. Whether it be scrolling social media or playing games on my phone! Here are 3 different things you could be doing instead:

  1. Take a walk! It is 2022 and yes a lot of you might be working from home. Take a break from what you might be doing and don’t spend it on Tik Tok! Go outside and enjoy the weather we are having! Trust me it wont last for long!
  2. Pick up a hobby! In the spring of 2020 we got hit with this pandemic and a lot of people started doing things that they probably didn’t expect! Including me! I started reading again, it was scary because I was turning into my Mother! Reading, cross stitching or collecting something. Hobby’s are a good way to get away from the screen!
  3. Check things off that dreaded “to do” list! We all have them! Work to do lists or at home lists! Check some things off of it and feel more accomplished! Clean that attic, do the paper work that you meant to do weeks ago or even clear your self of all of those emails in you inbox!

Now I am no expert in all of this but I know I have tried a couple of things above and it has really helped me cut down on screen time! Let me know what you do to try and limit screen time for you or your kids!
