How do you waste the most time every day?
Even with set limit on my phone, probably the biggest waste of time every day for me is on Instagram scrolling through Reels.
Because I know I tend to spend time on the app, I put a 2 hour max limit on my phone that reminds me, hey you have a few minutes left today and then it’ll finally say hey, you’ve reached your limit for the day. What happens once I reach my limit? Well I can either exit, click remind me in 15 minutes or ignore limit for the day. It’s a toss up which one I choose.
Honestly, because I tend to get on in short bursts, I don’t reach that point too often, but occasionally I do and I’m like geez… why am I the way that I am? 🤦🏻♀️
A lot of time I could have been reading.
Not Your Season: Summer's Blog 
I understand. It’s like a black hole that sucks us in. I actually deleted all my social media apps. So if I want to get on them, I have to go through safari. It’s not as mesmerizing, so it helps to get off quicker.

Instagram is the only addicting app for me. The limits function usually helps keep me more aware! And the weekly reports on screen time. Life is better when I’m not glued to it. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!! I’m sure everyone struggles with it in some way.

It’s actually just in my settings. I have an iPhone – I don’t know what you have!
But for anyone with an iPhone…
Go to Settings and then scroll down to Screen Time, it’s near the top under notifications and Focus. From there you can see a breakdown of how many times you pick up your phone, count of notifications, time spent on all apps, etc. You can also set your limits there by app. 🙂
