4 hours or so, which is an absolutely disgusting amount of time to spend on the phone. Something working on. Reading more helps. Leaving phone in other room helps.

 

4h/day

At least an hour when at the gym, an hour when commuting on the subway to/from work, and an hour randomly at work when waiting for comments. 
 

If I work from home, I’ll use Netflix on my tv when I have downtime 

You have an hour screen time on your phone at the gym? How long are you working out - 5hrs? Or you watch movies on the treadmill or something -

How does Netflix on your TV relate to phone screen time?

I have roughly an hour on my phone at the gym since i use my phone as a timer between sets and usually dont turn the screen off during a set

 

I'm doing this thing with some friends about reducing it, but it's really hard. I've had some success switching to greyscale mode, but the real time killer is social media. My facebook time is almost entirely gone, but I'm doomscrolling a lot on IG which I detest. I like snapchat more for that reason since you just send a funny photo and that's basically it, no reason to doomscroll. I might try to unfollow all meme type accounts and basically everything else and just make the in-app experience boring enough so that might help a bit. Idk how others feel about this, but I've noticed the greyscale mode is more straining on my eyes for some reason.
