Limiting screen time for my own good

Post: # 165343Unread post RDL »

This article says that adults age 18 and older spend more than 11 hours each day using electronic devices.

Now, I feel I've done fairly well by not having a home computer, mobile or wireless device, public library internet access, or college computer access.
But about a week ago, I decided to kick it up another notch by not watching TV in my apartment and switching to radio.
My only screen time will be 1 hour a week on the internet at the internet cafe and about 3 hours a week of TV at my parents' house when I visit them.
I know I can do it :)

I spend a bit less when I can get out some, I much rather be doing something useful than wasting the day away.
I don't have a cell phone so that helps.

An old Victoria News letter I wrote 5 years ago:

I was in such denial about TV back then... I thought I had done well enough in reducing screen time just by limiting internet access... I didn't think my TV habit was all that bad... turns out it was :)

I watch a lot less tv than I used to, and less internet, but the bad is I am playing to much on my PS4.
I can't do much sometimes from being in pain so I game.
