Healthy Screen Time - Let's balance it in a week

Screen time (Combined time spent on all types of digital screens) is something which is always in digital user mind and now a days trending digital discussion.
Everyone wants to reduce the screen time for good health and better eyesight.
What if our dimension says, the key to healthy eyes is to reduce the average screen time.
'Average' screen time - Time spent on screens in a resonable span of team which is 1 week.
Smartphone companies use one week period to display application average statistics.
Reason: If the user is able to balance screen time for one week, then subsequent weak can be balanced by looking own track record for previous weeks.
If study/work is not entirely screen dependent - Social media, movies, games, OTT and passively scrolling the screen phone are the key phone activites.

Few things which can be done to be a 'smart' screen user:

  • What is surfed in x hours, can be surfed in half of that time
  • Using social media in particular time slot only
  • Figuring out the most used app category either it be social, games, utility etc.
  • Becoming a member of non - FOMO club for some series
  • Be a balanced screen user for a week
Reducing the screen time is a gradual + habitual process.
Habitual - Healthy digital use habits can not only reduce the average screen time but also you don't need to skip the online life.
Gradual - Since it is not a one day process, slow changes can be made towards healthy screen time
