The Average American Spends over 12 Hours Per Day in Front Of Screens
Your time has been claimed by devices and algorithms designed to be addictive
With the incentive to keep you on their platform for as long as possible, social media sites were designed to be addictive, using psychological tactics like variable rewards to take as much of your time and attention as possible.
Video streaming sites use things like autoplay to keep you watching longer than you intended.
Smart phones ensure we are never truly away from the online world. You’ll access them wherever you are when you receive a notification, or just when you are simply bored, and often get sucked in, losing more of your time.
The impact of too much screen time:
Our recent adaption of smart phones and social media has now been shown to be associated with some terrible outcomes, particularly for mental health.
More importantly, it has been occupying too much of your time. Time you could be using for important things like learning a new skill to advance your career, building connections with friends and family, working on your health (both mental and physical) or building a business of your own- building your dream life! It’s time you RECLAIM YOUR TIME!
