Getting to 1.5-hr of phone usage per day
Period: 1 April to 31 May
Hypothesis
By using my phone a more moderate amount per day will:
Increase my connectedness with myself & those around me
Increase my attention span & focus
Improve my short term memory
Reduce stress & dependence on digital content
Foreseeable Challenges:
By using my phone less I may use my laptop more - this is ok and expected
I may use it more than 12 hour, then I need to rather limit the social usage. Should ‘Productivity’ usage be allowed
It’s difficult to measure many before/after elements since they can be subjective and I don’t have historical happiness data.
Approach
Start 1 April 2024, End 31 May 2024
Record my current usage over the past 2 months
Place rules one start/end time at least
Remove notifications
Measure my happiness/stress on excel or other
Record weekly the results and my positioning and performance
