Phones has become Man's number one companion, it's so essential that we can't do without it for a minute.

The amount of time I spend each day on my phone is not so defined it is based on how my daily activities are. As a teacher, I don't always have time for my phone doing work hours except in my free time.

So during working hours on weekdays, I usually spend limited time on my phone. Some days, work gets so intense to the extent that the only thing I would do with my phone will just to call out or pick call. I will be so occupied that I wouldn't visit any social media platform till later in the evening when I returns back home.

But during weekends and holidays, I do have more time to spend on my phone although with little regulation. I'm a person that doesn't like to be held down in a place for too long and moreso, I don't want to be addicted to my devices so to avoid that I usually regulate myself.

I don't want to be like some people that are so addicted to their devices that to eat or take their bath will be a problem. I don't want to get to that kind of extreme level, so regulating screen time is necessary because I understand what too much of everything is bad. That's why I do my things with moderation and at the right time.

In Conclusion
As we all live daily, we must understand that all things have their time. So handle all things carefully, make sure that your screen time doesn't get into the time you use for other things.

Thanks for visiting, happy weekend and Easter celebration!
