We all have complained at some point of not having the time to do this or that and we'll end up finding excuses to fit that narrative instead of actually looking at what we're spending our time on.

Over the past couple of months I've had to take several steps back and take a good hard look at where my time goes.

It all started with one alarming statistic: the average time spent on social media apps since 2012 has ballooned from 1.5 hours a day to 2.25 hours - that's about 16 hours a week ... damn.

My original pursuit was to see why we as a society can't simply put our phones down - it sounds easy and straight forward but once I started scratching the surface I realized it was anything but - part 1 lays the framework for this issue

Part 2 builds on the uncomfortable truth of Part 1 while trying to put some onus on us in trying to understand how we're having our time stolen from underneath us without being conscious of it happening

Both articles are about 5 - 10 minutes so grab a coffee or tea!

I don't claim to be a professional on this topic but I truly believe my message can help someone looking for an outside perspective - I've done my due diligence to research these topics with studies and journals to deliver a necessary message that needs to be heard.

My blog was a conscious decision for Me to Be Better after certain events unfolded in my life - I do not profit from any of these posts or make any revenues. I do it simply because I believe that I have a valuable message that is worth sharing.

As always - I encourage open discussion and feedback, your words are appreciated and help me to become a better writer.

Thank you for your time and have a great day!
