Who Do I Spend the Most Time With?

If I had to answer that question honestly, it’s not a friend or a family member.

It’s my screens—my mobile phone, laptop, tablet, and sometimes the TV.

On average, I spend about 5–6 hours a day on my phone alone.

That includes time spent on Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, YouTube Music, WhatsApp, and similar apps.

This number comes from the ‘Digital Wellbeing’ section on my phone—but I’m sure there are days it goes beyond that.

Then comes my laptop.

So, right now, I’m focused on building my personal brand on LinkedIn.

So I spend a lot of time posting content, commenting on others’ posts, sending connection requests, and replying to potential leads.

To be honest, I haven’t seen any leads convert yet—but I’m still showing up.

I use the laptop for all of this because the screen is larger, and typing is easier than on the phone.

Most of my posts are written on the laptop—using ChatGPT and a bit of Google research.

I was posting every day for a while.

But recently, I’ve become irregular with it.

Besides posting, I’m also learning copywriting through a YouTube channel.

All those lessons, along with random tech and funny videos, are watched on my laptop.

So it’s fair to say that my laptop is my main work screen.

My tablet is used a lot less in comparison.

I initially bought it to do video editing and create YouTube videos.

But now, I mostly use it to watch Netflix and scroll through Instagram.

And honestly, scrolling on a big tablet screen is way more fun than on a phone.

Try it—you’ll know what I mean.

There was a phase when I was making videos consistently.

That involved using all three devices—phone, laptop, and tablet—for shooting, editing, and uploading.

But these days, I’m not creating as much content.

Right now, I don’t have a full-time job.

I’m trying to build something of my own.

So I end up spending around 8–10 hours a day in front of screens.

Writing this made me realize—it’s too much.

I think I need to cut down.

If I had to choose, I’d start by reducing my mobile usage.

Working on a laptop still feels more productive.

But the phone?

That’s where most of the time gets lost.
