Screen time report #4
I’m wrapping up this four-week project with today’s report. It’s a little — but only a little — frustrating to see that my phone use crept up a bit in this final week. I have what I think is a good excuse: my wife and I were both traveling to different places. I was out and about on my own in the city a good bit, and needed to stay in touch. I say that I’m only a little frustrated by this because, as I said last week, I have a different sense of the value of this project now than I had when I began. Though I’m impressed by how much others have lowered the time they spend on their phone — looking at you, Manuel! — I’m really more interested in becoming more deliberate and intentional about when and how I use my phone. Living out such intentions has lowered the amount of time I’ve been on my phone; I’m happy about that, but I see that as a side effect rather than the primary goal.
I’ll say more about what I’ve learned in this project later this week. Right now, though, I really want to pick up a book and read for a while.
