Thoughts on our own screen time

Thoughts on our own screen time

Over the past few weeks, the Best of Both Worlds podcast has been exploring various aspects of modern digital life. First, we talked about kids and screen time. Then I interviewed Devorah Heitner about “growing up in public.” In?this week’s episode, Sarah and I talk about our own personal interactions with the digital universe.

We differ here. Sarah has decided to cut social media completely out of her life because she found it challenging to limit the time devoted to it — and in her busy life, there were things she’d much rather spend those minutes on (like reading 50 books a year and running 50 miles a week!). I tend to use social media more recreationally and go in and out of using different apps. There’s no right or wrong way — it’s about how it fits in with the rest of your life.

In the Q&A we discuss something related — how to find more time to read (this is often inversely correlated with recreational screen time…).

Please give the episode a listen, and as always we welcome ratings and reviews!
