It’s how we spend our time here and now, that really matters. If you are fed up with the way you have come to interact with time, change it. — Marcia Wieder

Track Your Screen Time —
With much of our work and personal hours taking place on computers, smartphones, and tablets, it can be easy to lose track of how much of the day actually unfolds in front of a screen. Today, keep a record of how much time you spend on digital devices. Time each session you find yourself in front of a screen, and track it on a spreadsheet, document, or slip of paper. Dig even deeper, by taking a minute every hour to categorize your plugged-in activities for that period: work, study, personal, and random. At the end of the day, add up your screen time. Do your results surprise or meet your expectations? Brainstorm three ways you can adjust your use of screen time to align with your values, health, and preferences. To step things up, make tracking your screen time a family endeavor, and post a log sheet (like this) in an easy-to-view place at home.
