I’m still in disbelief with this statistic Dr. Adam Alter told me on The Mel Robbins Podcast…🤯 This episode opened my eyes to just how much time I spend mindlessly scrolling on my phone. I hope it makes you reflect too. Listen to the full episode, 🎧”6 Simple Science-Backed Hacks That Will Make Your Life Better”

20 years. Wait, what? Yeah. 20 years of your life is spent just scrolling on your phone. Why do we doom scroll? You say to yourself, I'm going to go to bed early tonight or I'm going to work on that project and next thing you know, two hours have gone by and you've just wasted your evening doom scrolling. Why do we do that? At the end of a hard day, you're exhausted and it brings this sense of comfort and reliability and nothing is being asked of me. I don't have to do anything. I just move my phone, move my finger and that's all I have to do. How do you stop? You just have to find something that's not making you feel hollow and unhappy. That's the only thing to ask yourself. Do I feel better, happier, like my life is more meaningful after this? Or do I feel worse off, like I'm empty? And that's what people say when they spend huge amounts of time scrolling. They feel kind of empty. It's true. I do feel empty. Yeah. And it then makes you feel stupid for wasting that much time. And if you add it up cumulatively over the years, it's a large part of your life. 20 years. Wait, what? Yeah. 20 years of your life is spent just scrolling on your phone. Looking at your phone. It'll be about, for most of us, 20 years on average. Something like that. 15 to 20 years. We'll be doing this. Just looking at 20 second videos. Yeah.
