I just looked at my phone's screen time report and it said I spent 42 hours on it last week

I was just checking my phone settings and the weekly report popped up. It said I averaged 6 hours a day, which is 42 hours total. That's more than a full time job! I knew I was on it a lot, but seeing that number really shocked me. It's mostly just scrolling through social media and reading news while I'm watching TV or waiting for something. I don't even feel like I get much out of it. It just eats up time without me noticing. Has anyone else had a moment like this with their screen time? What did you do to cut back, if anything?

What finally helped me was setting a 30 minute daily timer for each social app.

Seeing that number is a real gut punch. It's wild how these little devices just swallow whole chunks of our day without us even feeling it. I've started leaving my phone in another room during dinner just to break the auto-pilot grab.

Auto-pilot grab" is a great way to put it, but I actually do feel it when I waste that much time.
