@soulsings
I believe it would be around 20/25 hours per week but I do eye exercises and step back from the computer screen very regularly, even if it is only to get a glass of water and do a brief physical exercises (just 2 minutes help already to keep the blood flow going)
@amiablePeace77 good ideas to rest the eyes!
@soulsings
My work involves a computer, so I'm at a screen probably... A LOT. If you were to add up computer, TV and phone screens in a week....95 hours....
Eeek....
When I'm working, I tend to get up regularly, move around, do something else for a bit, and then come back to my desk. It's just something that you almost have to set reminders for because I'll get busy on a task and then a few hours goes by where I'm still sitting here.
Okay - time to get up and get a stretch. :)
@soulsings
- If you had to estimate on average how many hours in the day are you sitting watching a screen? almost 24/7 as from 7:10 am til midnight or later depending on mood and sleepeyness
- How often do you give your eyes and mind a break and disconnect from your phone, TV, and or computer to just be with yourself or some other activity? probly 1hr totle a day
@soulsings around 3 hours a day. I try not to use my tablet computer thingy in the mornings, when my pain levels are low, but as the day goes on then I come on 7 cups as a distraction for the pain. So it can vary but about 3 hours a day ❤
Hugs soul ❤ how are you today?
@Tinywhisper11 that sounds like a balanced approach. Glad you find a way to cope with the pain.
@soulsings I've been trying to only use my phone to listen to music from when I wake up till around 5pm..so I will sit outside or take my dog out in his stroller. I fi don't force myself to give myself a break from youtube especially it can be all day lol
@amusingWest5360 I try to do things with awareness. Okay 15 minutes of news. One youtube video. No binge watching.
@soulsings
At least 12 hours, since we always work on computer screens, watch TV during leisure time, and stare at phones constantly lol. But I try to give my eyes and body a break by standing up and looking at trees outside of the window every one or two hours unless I'm too focused.
@miraculousTouch2949 glad you take breaks - I read about the 20-20-20 guideline
20 minutes of screentime
then 20 seconds away from ht computer looking at something
20 feet or more.
I am working on that.
@soulsings I installed a couple of apps to look after my screen time
