- I use my phone incessantly. - My phone is basically my boredom box.
So anytime I get really bored that's the first thing I go to.
- I'm so attached to my phone it's almost embarrassing.
- It's like I never put it down, ever. - Oh.
- God. - If I had to guess I would say
maybe around 45 minutes a day. - Humidive-ly, if you condense it all together,
an hour-and-a-half? - I think I'm on my phone like
an hour. - Maybe like 13 hours, like a day.
- I feel like I don't check my phone that much. I've always kind of tried to pride myself
on being one of those people. So I would guess I check my phone 30 times a day.
- There's a, like big period of time where I don't look at it.
I just ... What, why?
- I have a feeling I might not like what I find out, but I know I probably am not gonna change.
- I am so scared that I am the problem. I am the person that I hate.
- You know what's weird? My phone is such a big part of my life
and I have no idea how much I use it. - So now I'm home and this is definitely
when I check my phone a lot more. - It's actually kind of embarrassing
how much I've been using my phone. - Okay, so confession time.
I'm at a dinner with friends and the first thing I did was go on my phone
and check my email. - So I'm home from work now
and I'm gonna guess my phone usage is gonna double or triple.
- So I'm checking my Instagram in the shower. - I'm trying to get off my phone
so I can go to bed. - I feel like I check it more compulsively
than I imagine, but maybe for not quite as long. I don't know.
We'll see what happens tomorrow. - I'm really nervous to find out
how much I actually use my phone. - Like I didn't realize how many things
I use my phone for that I didn't really put in my estimate. - I'm terrified of what this will say about me.
- All right, here we go. Ah.
- Oh my God. That's like longer than most movies I watch.
Oh, no. - Whoa, 151 times.
Holy shit. Well, I got business to attend to.
I gotta reply to everybody. - Whoa.
That is not any where near as bad as I thought it would be.
Three hours I'm like totally fine with. - Yeah, this seems right.
This seems right. This isn't mind blowing knowing myself.
- Oh my God, no. No.
Oh, I was completely wrong on like all counts. Oh my God.
- Woo. Okay, 138 pickups to me
that's a lot of checking my phone. That's a lot of just constantly going, huh?
Huh? Huh?
- I was very wrong. I'm really disgusted with myself.
This is horrible. - Is this gonna change your phone habits?
- I don't think so. I don't think so.
- I think it's gonna change what apps I spend time with on my phone.
- I make fun of my friends so much for being on their phone while I'm talking to them.
Now I know clearly I am also one of those people. - For all of my friends who make fun of me
for being on my phone all the time I'm actually fairly average.
- So my phone's gonna be a big part of my life still, but I'm gonna try and use it in a more healthy way.
- It makes me think that maybe I spend way too much time stuck down like this
and it wouldn't kill me to keep my head here more often during the day in my life.
