Weekend Realization: I Had Enough Screen Time

I took some time to reflect on the events of the last few weeks. I'm glad I created an account on Hive, I get to have and know more virtual friends on Discord. It was fun! But the downside is, I wasn't efficient with my time recently.

My friends on the outside world is waving.

I wasn't able to post here daily like I used to in the previous weeks.

Likewise on noisecash.

Additionally, I was unable to go out regularly as I always did.

My world without WiFi is already calling me.

I should spend more time with my friends, partner, and family, especially with myself. I always take it into account to have my alone time.

That's why I took a step back today. I scheduled every single activity I'm going to do using my laptop or phone, including writing an article here, or on hive, on noise, and even interacting with my virtual friends too.

Everything I've mentioned matters to me that's why I want to use my time wisely as I do those things. My plate was full and I wasn't able to focus on some things because I had devoted my time to a single task only.

Now, I have to set a timer every time I write an article. Before writing, I should have a specific topic in mind to talk about or else, I won't be using my laptop. I usually listen to music as I brainstorm writing topics, but most of the time I end up watching a film or television show instead of really writing. If we don't have a specific schedule or time to follow, we're bound to use our time to anything that will catch our attention instantly.

I also limit my screen time on my phone. If I already maximized the time allotted in a day, my screen will automatically set into its grayscale mode.

Another habit that I need to instill is saying NO. Recently, I've been saying YES to everything, which has filled my schedule. It's okay to take a break from time to time and spend time offline, especially now that I'm managing more blogs, I really need to set time in making an article and living my life outside those blogs too.

Now that I'm actually restricting myself, it's pretty challenging, but I have faith that I'll soon get the hang of it.

Occasionally, give yourself some time. Set some boundaries. Don't wait for your body or your loved ones to tell you that you need to take a break.

How are you managing your life; online and offline?

Hello peeps! How are you? I hope you're managing your time well, spending it on things that matter 💖

I'm still managing my funds here so for those I sponsor but expired already, don't worry, I'll renew them. That's my way of supporting this platform and you, as writers as well, in my own little way. You just need to wait a little though 😊 Thanks for your patience.
