The best way to reduce screen time is to track your daily screen time with Screen Time Club site, and compare your daily screen time, how much it increased and how much it decreased. Then you can take a proper decision whether you need to reduce your screen time or not.

Reducing screen time is actually easier with small changes. I have more and more reducing formulas but this is the highest ranking and expert level thinking secrets. You know experts recommend replacing scrolling with a quick offline activity like reading or walking.

"These hacks work because they reduce impulse checking and create friction, helping you regain control without uninstalling important apps."

Both Apple and Samsung provide focus modes that automatically limit distractions. You can't believe that in recent days, I have reduced my screen time from 9 hour doom scrolling to 6 hour powerful productivity. Now I am using social media tools for my business purpose only, not for time pass.

That changed my life of thinking, working, my daily life productivity, creative thinking and on my working life. Still I am using this helpful tool to track and compare my screen time. This tool gives the accurate "me vs me" data, not others. Experts who have already succeeded in life use this formula: the yesterday me vs today me.

The "Me vs Me" Philosophy

There is no single site tool for this comparison, which is why I made this tool to boost productivity. It is literally insane—it is totally yesterday me vs today me. Use this tool for your daily life to compare with yourself and improve yourself in the real world, not the virtual world.

The Essential Checklist

High Screen Time Effects :

When the topic is about screen time, consuming the smartphone, laptop, computer lightning screens then it’s always not just a little but high right?

What do you think about that! You can’t refuse your screen time also a little bit or high, even you know i can’t. My screen time is about 6 hours daily on the study, work productivity and some time-passing content just to entertain me. I can’t refuse that, but even i have the study time, work productivity time.

Then if we switch to you, your screen time is totally fill with the unused or just time consuming useless content just to entertain you not to learn something new, not to increase your intellectual level, just to entertain you. If you are addicted to the useless content then your screen time must be higher than me, don’t let me wrong right!

What Exactly High Screen Time Effects to you?

High amount of screen time is totally not good for the human eyes that is totally not made, just to consume the screen light or even high screen time light. Every single app creator or website creator want’s to make your screen time more higher but do you know which kind of problems you may going to face. Here are some problems:

  • • Color blindness
  • • whenever you watch outside the screen you will face the blur type vision, your visual power will get weaker and weaker by leaps and bounds before the age.
  • • Your long distance vision will get much weaker than the short distance vision.
  • • Tears coming out whenever you see outside or want to focus on specific thing then tears are coming out rapidly. And more and more problems and some diseases too.

Recognizing the Signs of Digital Eye Strain :

Dry or Itchy Eyes: When we stare at screens, our blink rate drops by about 66% to 80%. Blinking is vital for spreading a fresh layer of tears over the ocular surface.

Headaches: Often felt behind the eyes or in the temples after a long work session.

Blurred Vision: A temporary inability to focus on distant objects after looking at a screen.

Neck and Shoulder Pain: Often caused by "turtling" or leaning closer to the screen as your eyes tire.
