Mikah SargentHOST
yep uh they don't have to you don't have to be pulled into every notification and i think that's uh that's part of the point that we're trying to make here how to how to manage this um there are some other things that you can do with focus of course you can set this up on your mac um and Screen time is a great tool for managing your eyes across devices as well.
Mikah SargentHOST
Kind of tying those two together, right? You have focus that helps you to limit notifications and then you have screen time which helps to show you how much you're using the different devices and how much of your time is taken up by different apps or categories.
Mikah SargentHOST
That can be very handy.
Mikah SargentHOST
Having more data to just be aware of how you use your device can often result in you changing habits or improving habits or making adjustments to your focuses as well.
Mikah SargentHOST
That is one of the ways that I was able to see that I didn't really need a bunch of extra focus options was by using the built in screen time and seeing what ended up grabbing my attention and when, and what apps were kind of vying for my attention the most.

In cybersecurity, the U.S. Multistate Information Sharing and Analysis Center says 800 K-12 school organizations got word last school year that their staff accounts or credentials were circulating on underground and dark web marketplaces.
Dallas KachanHOST
Technology leaders should treat a phishing email from a familiar-looking colleague's address even at another district with the same suspicion as one from a stranger, since credential theft at one school system is now a launchpad for attacks on others.
Dallas KachanHOST
On E-Rate, new reporting today shows some of the largest U.S. school districts pushing back on where the Federal Communications Commission's review of the program is headed.
Dallas KachanHOST
Their message? The E-Rate program should not become a vehicle for regulating classroom screen time.
Dallas KachanHOST
Also today, a coalition of 105 bipartisan state legislators sent the FCC a letter warning that the scope of the commission's proposal exceeds its authority, historically focused on connectivity.
Will O'CallaghanHOST
Apple have got something similar as well.
Will O'CallaghanHOST
I know they've got the screen time, which again, parents can set up parental locks on it too.
Andy O'DonoghueGUEST
They can and family sharing.
Andy O'DonoghueGUEST
So and much as with Google, this is already on the iPhone.
Andy O'DonoghueGUEST
Exactly.
Andy O'DonoghueGUEST
And so that works really well.
Andy O'DonoghueGUEST
And you can set a separate screen time passcode.
Andy O'DonoghueGUEST
So that's really clever.
Rosemary OrchardHOST

Neil SelwynHOST
Why the term holds such resonance, how the hype around screen time is sustained and what alternatives we should be pushing for.
Neil SelwynHOST
So in particular, we focus on what screen time is doing outside of schools.
Neil SelwynHOST
And Kate's new book, Screen Time and the Impossibility of Modern Parenting, is a great dissection of how parents grapple with the pressures thrown up by screen time and how the concepts become a key part of modern pressures for intensive parenting, good parenting and the like.
Neil SelwynHOST
So with governments around the world introducing tech bans and digital detoxes for children on the basis of reducing screen time, we need to take this seriously, even if we do think it is a crude simplification of what is a very complex issue.
Neil SelwynHOST
So enjoy the discussion.
Neil SelwynHOST
And the quantity of time is something that's very easy to explain.
Neil SelwynHOST
So I guess you can kind of see why the idea of screen time, although academics have got all those problems with it, you can kind of see why it's still kind of hit a nerve and people still talk about it.
Neil SelwynHOST
And in the book, you refer to the fact that we really do need to see screen time as a cultural phenomenon that's kind of wrapped up in all the other discourses around screen how we should be parenting in the 2020s.
Rosemary OrchardHOST
And sometimes they don't need to do that.

Catherine PriceGUEST
You know, people spending nine hours a day on social media.
Catherine PriceGUEST
I mean, if you just look at screen time, I'm not saying I'm perfect with screen time.
Catherine PriceGUEST
I spend an awful lot of time on my laptop that I wish I could take back.
Catherine PriceGUEST
Like email is my problem if we want to get into Katherine's issues.
5 MINS LATER
Catherine PriceGUEST
Opal's a great one.
Catherine PriceGUEST
The app blockers actually allow you to fully block the apps.
Catherine PriceGUEST
I mean, as you know, but I'm saying for anyone listening, as opposed to like that stupid screen time limit on iPhones, for example, that just shows you an hourglass and then says, essentially, do you want to feel bad about yourself and override the intention you set for yourself like yesterday? And you're like, yes, I do.
Catherine PriceGUEST
And then it's like 15 minutes more.
