Do we Have an UNHEALTHY DEPENDENCY ON OUR PHONE"
We have been talking a lot about how much time (and wasted time) we spend on our phones and whether we even register the usage.
When I recognised how much of the day my eyes were sternly attached to my iPhone, I thought maybe.
From the second I woke up, to the moment I drifted back off to sleep in the evening I checked my phone on an “over” regular basis.
I was in denial.
‘I’m working’ was the excuse I played when questioned on the amount of time I spent glued to the screen.
It wasn’t until downloading the app ‘Mute‘ that I fully registered how much time I was killing and the results were staggering.
On average,
* I picked up my phone 40 times a day
* I couldn’t put it down for long, checking it every 30 minutes
* 3 hours of my day were spent searching and scrolling
* I stayed away from my phone for no longer than 2 hours
At the beginning of April, I finally declared that enough was enough.
‘Do Not Disturb’
I turned the phone off to enable me to switch off properly in the evening.
Each evening I would put my phone away at 7 pm and not look at it again until 7 am the next morning.
Usually, I would be quickly replying to an email, engrossed in a WhatsApp chat with girlfrie...
