Scroll, Repeat: One week without scrolling and what really happened

About this episode

The episode explores the challenges of reducing screen time and features a personal account of a week without excessive phone use.

I checked my screen time last week. Twelve hours a week on social media. If I keep going like this, that's more than four years of my life gone. So I started asking: why is it so hard to stop, even when we know we should? In this episode, my friend Tjorven shares what happened when she actually tried to use her phone less for a week. Our friend Svantje explains what the science says about why quitting feels almost impossible.
