Did you ever attempt cutting back on your screen time?

I only use my computer screen when teaching online for at least 8 hours. Although it can top the classes online for another 4 hours, It means I can reduce my screen time at random. How I wish I could have digital detoxification. The mere fact is that I cannot do this. For this reason, I have weakened my eyes and need to wear eyeglasses. How about you, guys? Have you tried to reduce your screen time lately? Image Credit: media.istockphoto.com

I am glad that you have an option to do it. For me, I need to use it for a couple of hours. I am not complaining because it is my bread and butter.

@Shavkat Oh well, I spend more than two hours a day in front of my computer.

Its not always easy because I end up remembering that there is a task I must complete, but I try to sleep at the same time everyday to reduce my screen time.

I can feel you on this matter. Sleeping is what we can do to strengthen our immune system.

I can't move away from the screen, only the distance between my eyes is what I limit.

I am using eyeglasses with anti-radiation now. I think it is a good help for my eyes not to be affected by it.

I doubt if I can ever do it. I am kind of addicted.

I usually have screen time for 12 hours a day. I have to work for 8-10 hours and watch something now and then. If I want to decrease my screentime, I go out and keep my phone inside my pocket.

We are alike because I also work at least 10 to 12 hours per day. It is inevitable not to be in front of my computer. If I am offline, I just hike in the mountains.

I do try to lessen my screen time. Lately I've been taking the weekends off and trying to stay off the computer.

The nature of my job is to use it often.

Yes, but I can't. I am addicted to screens. If I clean my room or do other things I can reduce my screen time. I learn daily and everything I do is on a screen.

I can related to you. Aside from teaching, I tried my best not to use the computer screen in checking online. I use my mobile phone if not in front of it.
