Why and How to Drastically Reduce Your Screen Time
I didn’t care until I developed a severe migraine
When the quarantine first started, I spent the first few weeks glued to my phone and laptop — primarily on social media, gaming, or binging YouTube until my eyes became bloodshot and watery.
When I decided to limit my screen time, I turned to books and got back into a consistent habit of reading. I read more in those 2 months than I had done in the past year.
Reading along with working out and other hobbies kept me off screens for most of the day.
But when I started writing on Medium, my screen time again hit the skies. I didn’t take it seriously until I developed a severe migraine.
When I roughly calculated my screen time, it came up to a whopping 12 hours. I knew what I had to do even before the doctor said it,
I had to drastically decrease my screen time.
