Screen Time (Patreon)

Hello my patreon peeps! Today, I wanted to do something different & talk screen time! I feel like a lot of people will see this title & be like "NOPE! DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS IT!" because screen time feels somewhat... Shameful sometimes? I have 2 friends in town visiting, so we were talking about this today & I wanted to share. One of my friends has 2 phones & he said that because he has his work phone just for calls & catching up that it's nice to just have that when he's out on the town because people can contact him, but it's GREAT because he can't just mindlessly scroll while in other people's company. He also has an iPhone for social media posting, etc. but treats it like a computer & only checks in with it for MAX 15 minutes a day. I thought that was very admirable & a bit out of the ordinary, so I brought up screen time while talking about this in a group & we all shared our daily averages. I thought it would be ~saucy~ to comment ours below just so we can stop feeling shame about how much time we spend on our phones! Everyone's phones eat their lives up at times! Heck! Some of you are most likely reading this on your phone! Lol. ANYWAYS! My daily average right now is 3 hours 15 minutes. That was for last week during election week shockingly enough! Sometimes it's closer to 4, but I generally keep it in that range. I'm always trying to swap out social media for reading a book & have been making that a bigger goal of mine this week & it's interesting to see how it's really just a mindfulness practice. Anyways! Comment yours down below if you want to! No shame y'all! We all have em! We all use em! It's just a matter of how much you want to use it or not :') I do social media breaks about twice a year & find them very beneficial, so I smell another one approaching... Lol.
