How do you manage screen time for yourself?

Managing screen time can be tricky, especially since screens are everywhere, but I’ve found some strategies that can help:

2. Scheduled Breaks: Every hour, I take a few minutes away from the screen, doing something offline like stretching or getting a glass of water. It’s refreshing and keeps me from feeling mentally drained.

1. Set Clear Limits: I use specific time blocks for screen-based tasks, which makes it easier to avoid endless scrolling or getting sucked into one task for too long.

3. Notifications Off: Constant notifications are distracting, so I silence non-essential ones, helping me focus on what matters without the constant urge to check my device.

4. Night Mode: At night, I use warmer color settings and low brightness to make screen time less taxing on my eyes. This reduces eye strain and helps with winding down for sleep.

5. Dedicated No-Screen Time: Certain times, like early mornings and right before bed, are no-screen zones. It keeps me grounded and helps with winding down or starting the day fresh.
