As a kid, I spent hours on forgotten sports games. Was that healthy activity or just screen time?

Count it as another screen addiction.

But what if the timer itself isn't the point? For me, it was more about what I did right after I put the phone down. I had to have a real, physical thing ready to do, like a book or a sketchpad, or I'd just pick it back up. The timer felt like a punishment until I gave myself something better to switch to.

Setting clear time limits can really help with screen use. From my time dealing with this, using a timer or app to track usage makes you more aware. It's not about cutting out screens for good, just finding a good balance.
