Step Aside, Phone!
I read this post on Manu's blog and it immediately resonated. I've been spending more time than I'd like to admit staring at my phone recently, and most of that consists of a stupid game, or YouTube shorts.

If you also want to cut down on some of your phone usage, feel free to join in; I’ll be happy to include links to your posts.
As a benchmark, my screen time this week averaged around 2.5 hours per day on my phone and 1.5 hours per day on my tablet. That's bloody embarrassing - 28 hours in one week sat staring at (mostly) pointless shite on a fucking screen.
I think my phone usage is more harmful as it's stupid stuff, whereas my tablet is more reading posts in my RSS reader, and "proper" YouTube (whatever that is). I think reducing both and picking up my Kindle more - or just being bored - will be far more healthy though.
So count me in, Manu.
