Phone addiction. Is it real?
The average person spends more than 24 hours per week on their phones. Younger millennials and generation Z spend 5 hours or more per day using their devices.
Now, don’t get me wrong, phones have many valuable and indispensable attributes. The purpose of this endeavor was to spend less time in the virtual world and more time in the real world.

Who else watched this video on their phone...?
I need to stop justifying my UA-cam addiction by saying it´s educational or valuable and so on.. I´m an addict!
The fact that he had “only” 6 hours of screen time a day and talks about addiction made me realize that I really do have a problem lmao
if youtube starts charging a fee, more than half of the addicts will be cured.
I remember only charging my phone once a week when I was a kid. Nowadays, I have to charge every single day💀
It’s wild that something can be so helpful and so harmful at the same time
I am addicted to reading COMMENTS on UA-cam. I literally spend hours and i don't even watch any videos just scrolling down comments😭😭😭😭
I literally use my phone 14-15 hours per day. My grades are just dropping like crazy from like 98s to 80s. I wanna stop but I'm just too dependent on it cuz it's kinda my way of coping with my ugly mental health.
You call 5 hours a day addiction, I call it a morning routine
Who else is here during quarantine, because their screen time went like: 📈📈📈
How to cure phone addiction
like he said in the beginning "Don't get me wrong, phones have plenty of uses"
Here is how I did it:
It's amazing how addictive smartphones are. The other day I forgot mine at home and it drove me nuts. We've become a society where attention deficit disorder has become a learned behaviour and not just an issue some people are born with. Great video 🥺☘️
I'm watching this on my phone while taking a shit. I've delayed the wiping by atleast 10 minutes. Both of my feet have fallen asleep and i know the terror that awaits me when i finally stand up and walk on these sleeping log stumps

“How I cured my phone addiction”
It would be so helpful if Instagram would make the "recommended for you page" an optional feature. Because I love the idea of following my friends and seeing what they're up to. But I don't want to look at random content, I just end up scrolling endlessly watching medium entertaining things.
One thing I've found to be really helpful is treating my phone somewhat like a landline. When I work from home, I keep my phone essentially docked in one location. I find that the physical space between my phone and myself creates mental space for resisting the knee jerk habit of always checking the phone. Initially, this was pretty hard to do but I created a few automations on Apple Shortcuts that would detect when I had moved my phone and give me a subtle nudge to place it back. I've found that overall I just feel more peaceful with the physical distance.
