Reducing screen time and digital overload in daily life

Nomad
All of us are getting overloaded by screens. What are some strategies for reducing screen time and digital overload in daily life? I think setting up boundaries around screen time by designating specific periods for technology use and implementing digital detoxes or screen-free zones in your home can be very helpful. Engaging in offline activities such as hobbies, exercise, and spending time with loved ones to reduce reliance on screens and promote overall well-being.
 
It is very important for you to make sure that whatever you are doing when it comes to working online and the number of hours which you spend on screen on daily basis is reduced so that the negative impact it is having on your eyes is not something that is going to be detrimental to your eyes for a long time.
 
I have never counted how many hours I actually spend with my mobile phone, but I guess I am using my mobile phone for at least 6 hours in a day.
That's because I am social media content creator and I have to create a lot of content, and post these content on curious social media platforms. It does not matter how many hours you are spending on screen what actually matters is what you do during your screen time
 
To combat digital overload, I try to implement a few key strategies. First, I set screen time limits on my devices and designate certain times of day as "no-screen" zones, like during meals or before bedtime. I also make an effort to take regular breaks from my screens to engage in other activities like reading, exercising, or spending time in nature.
 
Boundaries are for sure something that you should have in place to prevent yourself from having too much screen time. If you can get boundaries into place and stick with them, you can get yourself into a better routine when it comes to screen time.

The issue is that even though we create boundaries and routines, so much is relied on screens now it can be difficult to stick to something.
 
I don't have a problem with it now because I spend most of my time with my children, so I don't have enough time to just spend time in front of my smartphone or computer. With the appearance of my first child, it was difficult for me because, like everyone else, I spent a lot of time on my smartphone, but over time I almost forgot about my smartphone because it was very interesting to observe the children and how they develop
