Do you find it hard to get off the screens?

[Whatthefluff]

Unfortunately when I'm bored, don't have anything going on, am tired or looking for entertainment I go to my phone.

I wish I could read more but my concentration is crap and I think having a phone does not help in my endeavors. I mainly get ebooks and borrow the audiobook version of it too so I can switch between. I do like the experience of reading an actual physical book but my attention is swayed quicker.

And I think having a phone with all those unnecessary notifications and million other opportunities to distract from "real life" can be mildly stressful. Because we all kind of depend on our phones every day for many different things so it's hard to step away from it.

Do you think if I turn off my phone for a designated amount of time l might be able to enjoy and truly concentrate on reading a physical book?

I am addicted to YouTube and Netflix 😑 these are the only two apps I am addicted to but I am spending 100% of the time I am awake watching something on either of these 2 apps. I've even developed ability to watch something and do my work parallely.

Although it has not impacted my deliveries or ability to work, it does impact me personally, I have become too lazy to workout or go out on a vacation or something and this is making be depressed.

I find it hard to get off GAG, constantly refreshing the Feed page.

... I have a separate window open where I should be working on a program, and I'm not doing it! Dx

Sadly I'm in the same boat as you. If I've got something going on then I don't even think about it but the moment nothing is going on I'm probably on my phone lol.

Back then it use to be, but now I was able to develop the switch for it, especially my awareness to tiktok, I always remember how addictive it is and just stop 🧑‍💻

try even harder... go outside your house, maybe a nearby park and read your book there

leave your phone back home

Hey I really like podcasts, I'm kinda ok with being attached to my phone, but if it's causing you grief, it's good to go walk your dog without it, or find something else you want to do.

Yes, I do find it hard to get off of the screens ( cell phone, computer )

[convo_king89]

Yep, especially when I’m on gag or watching porn.

[Zolly99999]

I think so.. the first time will be difficult but it will get easier. .

[Light909090]

No i know what I want and I can’t stare at a screen for long periods of time with no Break.

That's why I got a flip phone lol I go on the PC or work laptop if I need to get on the internet. I use the phone as a tool basically.
