Protect Your Mental Health By Setting App Timers
Spending too much time in front of a screen has been proven to hurt some users’ mental health, but there are tools built-in into Android phones that can help cut down screen time. Smartphones have a Digital Wellbeing section where users can see how much time they’re spending on their phones and what apps they’re using the most. There are a few things users can do here. They can set up screen time goals to reduce the time spent on their phones, start a focus mode to not see notifications, and only be able to use specific apps. In addition, users can set up a bedtime mode to restrict phone access before going to sleep and set up a driving monitor to only use certain apps while driving. Users can also set up app timers for any app they want to reduce their time using.
Smartphones are valuable tools for staying up-to-date with news and friends. They’re more like a mini-computer these days. Users can check and send emails, read and create social media posts, play games, do work and more. Users can even use mental health apps for mediation and online therapy. Although not all use of phones is bad, excessive screen time can be harmful. It can lead to low self-esteem, whether related to body image or thinking everyone lives a better life than them. Too much screen time can also make users miss things in their lives when they are too busy scrolling on their phones. In addition, spending too much time looking at a screen can give users headaches. Luckily, with Digital Wellbeing tools, users can easily avoid the negative impacts of too much screen time.
