#13 Scrolling is destroying your personality (the death of hobbies)

Because I often scroll and I'll save a lot of sounds and I'll save a lot of content because that's kind of how I do my job as a content creator.

I'll get inspired by certain things.

And that's good in a way, but you don't really need to do that for more than 30 minutes a day.

And when I look at my screen time, for me, it's just absurd.

I'm like, five hours a day, 10 hours total screen time, five hours a day on Instagram.

I'm like, holy fuck.

That was like a heavy portion of my life.

So then I researched a little bit more and I was like, I wonder what the average is for people nowadays for how long they spend just scrolling bullshit on their phone every day.

And the average is two hours, 21 minutes to two hours, 40 minutes a day of scrolling.

That's, in my opinion, a low average.

I think a lot of people have a hell of a lot higher than that.

Not as many people watch TV anymore.

Not as many people watch movies.

Their relaxation in bed is literally just scrolling bullshit over and over again.

And I'm like, this is terrible for us.

There's got to be a better way, or at least a way for me to bring some knowledge to this and find a different thing to put in that time.

Because two hours 40 a day is not a small amount of time.

that's 17 hours a week.

That's a part-time job's worth of time.
