Work from home must have increased your screen time right? Plus let’s not deny how much we all are addicted to using our phones and laptop all the time. Even while taking a break from work, most of us prefer checking out social media updates or replying to messages.

Increased screen time causes strain in the eyes, stress, headache and even mental issues. One cannot eliminate using a phone/laptop, but can surely minimise its usage. Here are some simple steps to follow to reduce your screen time:

🖥 Figure Out Where Your Screen Is Spent: Analyse and see what all apps are consuming your maximum time and see areas where you can easily make adjustments. Try to delete those apps for a while or set a daily usage limit on those apps.

🖥 Think About Which Work Tasks Can Be Done Without a Screen: You might be too dependant on your phone/laptop for some tasks that can be done manually. For example, making to-do lists. Trying to do such tasks manually.

🖥 Turn Off Notifications (During and After Work): Apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat etc. can be very distracting and time-consuming. Turn off their notifications especially while you are working. Do not let them distract you from your work.

🖥 Schedule Screen-Free Breaks: During the workday, make a habit of taking screen breaks after every 40 minutes. Instead of jumping on social media or Google News, get up, physically move away from your computer, leaving your phone behind if possible.

🖥 Be Intentional About the Type of Content You Consume: Consuming something calming can cut down on your stimulation even if you’re not eliminating screens entirely. Be very thoughtful about the kind of content you are consuming on the internet.

🖥 Do Something Else When Bored: Most of us scroll social media or watch some Netflix series while we are bored. Next time, try out your favourite hobby like dancing, reading, singing etc. using instead.
