Indulge me in a little exercise: Estimate how long you spend each week scrolling Instagram, reading news, streaming video, trawling Amazon and the like. Next, look at your phone’s weekly screen-time report to see how much time you actually spend doing those things.
I bet your initial estimate was lower than your actual number, perhaps by a long shot. You’re not a bad guesser, nor are you trying to seem more virtuous than you are. Time just passes differently when we’re online.
