You’ve heard it all before. Everyone talks about how they spend so much time on their phone and being Gen Z ourselves we can totally relate.

What compels us to pick up our phones? Is it procrastination, boredom, social awkwardness, or habit? What kind of manipulation tactics are social media companies using to keep us engaged and glued to our devices? How is it that social media is free?

Of course it would be useless to speak about reducing screen time if we didn’t provide practical strategies, so we hope to provide some insight on shifting habits, including from well-known author James Clear of Atomic Habits, that can help us gain control over our social media usage.

Join us today as we investigate the impulses that drive us to stay on our phones and uncover solid strategies that can be used to help us reduce the dreaded screen time.
