I’m around 5-6 hours
I've got 4.5hr / day this week but usually I'm at 5-6h daily on average.
I use my phone for work. A lot! I’m also fairly mobile moving to different locations. Even when I’m working in the office or at home I’m walking around so a lot of my comms and research are done on my phone rather than my computer. I even find myself responding to emails on my phone while I’m sitting at my desk with my laptop and email open! Muscle memory. I’m typing this on my phone for example.
The Apple categories and methodology are also interesting. The Social category includes LinkedIn and texting which are definitely productivity tools for me. Texting is one of the primary comms tools I use with clients and teams for example. Chrome is under Utilities in the Apple categories and is my primary research tool, so again is Productivity for me. Podcasts and Spotify are under Entertainment which makes sense about half the time for me (the other half is news and research) but they count as screen time even though I’m listening to them with the screen off in the shower, riding my bike, driving etc.
Net net, I use my phone too much, but it is largely driven by work and is because I’m moving around rather than stationary. Screen time on your computer is a better indicator of immobility.
