On Your Terms® 272. What Happened When I Actually Took My Screen Time Seriously for 30 Days
We all know that moment. It’s Sunday. Your phone buzzes. And suddenly you’re staring down your weekly screen time report wondering… how did THAT happen?
For me, those little reports started to feel like a mirror I didn’t really want to look into. The number on the screen didn’t line up with the life I said I wanted to be living—more present, less irritable, doing deeper work, and actually enjoying my days instead of scrolling through them.
So I decided to stop ignoring it and actually take my screen time seriously. In this episode, I’m sharing what happened when I did just that—for 30 days.
This isn’t about deleting every app or pretending your phone isn’t a major part of your business (because let’s be real… it is). It’s about creating a healthier relationship with your phone so it can be a tool instead of an appendage—and building a business that doesn’t require you to be glued to it 24/7.
If you want to be more present in your life and more profitable in your business, this episode is for you.
In this episode, you’ll hear…
- Why your screen time report can reveal way more about your life than you think
- How I reduced my screen time without shame, guilt, or extreme rules
- The difference between “productive” screen time and the kind that quietly drains you
- The app that consistently sends me into a doom-scrolling spiral (and what I do about it)
- How to find your personal tipping point with screen time—without comparing yourself to anyone else
