Wellness is often linked to nutrition, physical activity, and stress management but did you know that another vital part of your wellness, as a college student, is digital well-being. Many college students struggle to find a balance between screen time and in-person non-digital activities. According to the World Happiness Report, too much digital media consumption can contribute to lower levels of happiness and life satisfaction. To help increase your digital well-being try reducing your screen time by following these three steps:
- Go to the settings section on your phone and notice how much time you are spending on your phone and various apps.
- Set a goal and be specific about how much time you plan to spend on your screens each day.
- Schedule alerts to pop up after you have exceeded your allotted screen time.
