How Balanced is Your Screen Time?
Be honest: how often do you unlock your phone without knowing why?
This quick quiz looks at your everyday screen habits and helps you see where you’re balanced — and where you might be scrolling a little more than you think.
How often do you check your phone during the day?
What usually pulls you onto a screen?
How do you feel after a long screen session?
Do you take breaks from screens during the day?
How screen-free are your meals and downtime?
How easy is it for you to unplug?
🔴 Screen Time Overload 🚨
Right now, screens may be running the show. You might feel tired, distracted, or stuck in habits that don’t feel great — like constant checking, late-night scrolling, or struggling to unplug. This isn’t a failure. It’s a signal. And it’s more common than you think.
Where to start: You don’t need a full reset. Even small steps — like noticing when you reach for your phone or adding one intentional break — can help you regain control over time.
Good next focus areas:
Identifying your biggest screen-time triggers
Building awareness without guilt
Starting with small, realistic changes
🟡 Somewhat Balanced, Occasionally Screen-Heavy 🙂
You have a solid foundation, but screens sometimes take up more space than you’d like. You may start the day with good intentions — then find yourself scrolling longer or reaching for your phone out of habit.
The good news? You’re already partway there. With a few small adjustments, your screen time can feel more intentional and less draining.
How to improve your balance: Simple habits — like clearer break points, screen-free moments, or awareness of “default scrolling” — can make a noticeable difference without requiring major changes.
Good next focus areas:
Reducing mindless scrolling
Creating clearer boundaries around downtime
Making screen use feel more intentional
🟢 Well-Balanced Screen Habits 🌿
You’ve built a healthy relationship with screens. You use them with intention, take breaks when you need to, and know how to unplug without stress. Screens support your work, learning, and downtime — without taking over.
That doesn’t mean you never over-scroll (no one does it perfectly). But overall, your habits are balanced, flexible, and realistic.
How to build on this: Staying balanced is about consistency, not perfection. Small check-ins — like noticing when your screen use starts to creep up — can help you maintain what’s already working.
Good next focus areas:
Protecting screen-free time during busy periods
Keeping healthy habits when routines change
Using screens intentionally, not automatically
