6th - 12th January 2025
Here is an overview of my phone screen time and pick ups between 6th - 12th January 2025.
This has been the most significant decrease in genuine screen time since I’ve started tracking it! Even better, the travel part was when I was using ‘Maps’ in my car. I have been reading Cal Newport’s Deep Work, so this may have had a slight influence on my activity.
If there was any ‘meaningful’ combination of apps used, this would be it, especially the top 3:
Productivity and Finance
Information and Reading
Travel
I have managed to squeeze another average 2 pick ups per day out of my daily habit, which even so, with Safari being the top app used after pick up, this would be for some kind of information, which I can write down and explore in 1 pick up.
I did go through my settings and try to arrange my SMS so I will be more efficient to either response (which will require me to unlock my phone i.e. a pick up,) or read and ignore.
A challenge this week will be I am going back to work in the city 2 days, therefore I will need to queue my podcasts in Spotify to ensure I am not opening my phone every 30 minutes to pick and start the next podcast.
