How do you manage screen time for yourself?

Managing my screen time isn’t too difficult for me mostly because I have a full-time and full-on job. My issue, if any would be a lack of screen time. My job consists of 12-hour shifts that leave little time to give the web or phone too much attention. I’m not a modern day scroller because A. I simply don’t have the time and B. I have too many other things I have to do.

Pros and cons

I love my job and I love writing. Work gives me a sense of purpose regardless of how physically and mentally tiring it can be whereas writing acts as my escape. When I do need screen time I set aside a few hours on a day off to catch up with what I can.

Balance

It’s important to switch off for a while from the digital world. It’s a valid tool I think we can all agree but it is not your master.
