Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 23 year old girl who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave). I live in the Netherlands and go to university, but make booktube videos in my spare time :)

The thing about my screen time is that I'm unable to do anything without background noises. So my YT time is insane, but a lot of it is when i'm doing chores, driving, taking a shower, etc. So I don't really know how much of my screen time is me sitting around and wasting time. If anyone is in a similar situation, what I decided to do this week as a challenge is: instead of watching YT videos while doing chores I'll listen to music, podcasts or audiobooks. So I'll have a more accurate screen time. I could also adress why i'm unable to spend 5 minutes washing the dishes in silence, but let's ignore that, lol p.s. here's the tradicional "english is not my first language, sorry for any mistakes"

[@TheBookLeo]

"I could also adress why i'm unable to spend 5 minutes washing the dishes in silence" i have the same issue tbh oops

[@bethmartin7583]

i’m the exact same way. i try to read in silence but my mind wanders so much, so i always have to listen to music or at the very least white noise. & i’ll sit in silence searching for a video/show to listen to while i do something, but i can’t do the task itself in silence😅

I’m exactly the same! I normally clean a lot on a Saturday and I put my wireless headphones on and clean while ‘watching’ but mainly listening to KZbin. I think most videos I watch are about the verbal communication rather than the visual aspects so it’s not too bad. I put every single video I want to watch on my ‘watch later’ playlist and then don’t even have to stop between videos because I know the next one will be good.

My main trick to using my phone less is trying to use it purposefully: I read articles, talk to my friends, or answer texts from my students, and only check Twitter on my laptop (I also went off a bunch of social media, but that's another topic). It kinda sucks because you have to find tasks to do when you'd usually use your phone and sometimes it's just staring at the ceiling bored out of your mind. However, some other times you get to hang out or chat with your friends or chill with your pets. It's a lot of back & forth, and I've certainly "relapsed" into like 5 hours of screen time a day more than once (and twice, and thrice...), but every time I cut my screen time I feel much less "no thoughts head empty" and more "brain unclouded, feeling inspired", so it pays off. Anyways, I hope this journey pays off for you & that you find some tricks that work for you :D

[@idontknowwhattoputhere361]

What you observed regarding just taking more time to complete tasks when you weren’t using your laptop probably can be related to Parkinson‘s law. He basically says that you will complete a task in a time frame you set for it, so if you usually think about watching KZbin after washing the dishes you automatically allotted less time to that task, thereby finishing it quicker than when you know you won‘t be going on your laptop/phone today anyway through which you appoint a longer timeframe to that task subconsciously and thereby the task stretches out to take up that longer timeframe :D

Before having a smartphone I used to concentrate a lot more and read way more. Now I've kind of lost that ability...

Lots of your comments resonate with me. Like, I totally get that reading is not as leisurely as you'd like it to be! I find it really hard to read in the late evening or before bed like many articles suggest because my brain is just too tired at that point. I had the same dilemma like you mentioned- I refused to spend my before-bed time on my phone, but then I didn't want to read either, so I ended up doing.. nothing. I actually began knitting earlier this year for this exact reason. I needed a hobby that I could turn to when I was too tired to enjoy my other hobby (=reading). And I'm not sure if you've finished How To Do Nothing by Jenny Odell by this point, but I really recommend reading it rather than listening. Unlike the deceptively laid-back title and chill cover, that book is filled with so much information! It's just the kind of book that one is supposed to really take time, sit and read. I was always furiously highlighting sentences and paragraphs when I was reading it. Oh and yeah, deleting Twitter app on the phone and then using Twitter with mobile web browser is also an on-and-off thing that I do. But deleting the app does help me cut the mindless timeline scrolling and instead go onto Twitter only when I have this really strong desire to rant, so I still think it's worth it :D

[@marshmallowpie42]

I love this experiment and it's definitely something I'd consider doing as I know my own screen time has been a bit high lately. Though I find it fascinating that you had a hard time following the audiobook vs. tiktok or KZbin while getting ready for bed - I'm the complete opposite, I can be absorbed in the audiobook because I don't need my eyes, whereas with TikTok or KZbin I feel I will stop getting ready to watch the video because my eyes naturally draw to the screen. It's so interesting how everyone's experiences are a little different!

[@mariaj7322]

I do like 10h average on my phone, 3h are KZbin (I usually don't do it on my laptop), 3h are WhatsApp because I'm on finals and my class group is on fire and I also I talk to my friends about finals and everything. But also I use my phone to calm anxiety about finals and to procrastinate, so when I'm not stressed out I can lower it down to 5/6h. I have discovered that less than 3h is nearly impossible to me, but I'm fine with 3h. I usually had the same idea than you and come to the same conclusion, is not about limit phone, is about making the choice to read instead of Twitter in your free time. But to me the only moment I'm on my phone guilt free because I'm not procrastinating is at bedtime (you could say I'm procrastinating sleep, which is true but is another whole story), when I'm exhausted to read and end going the easy way with my phone. When I'm not under extreme stress, I read more and spend less on my phone. On finals is the other way around...

I appreciated this video and exercise so much. I have done this more informally myself and find the same. Reading is not exactly leisure.
