Time is money. Use it wisely.
I have been playing around with iOS 12 Public Beta and realized I have become a lot more mindful of how much time I spend on Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. Time spent on social networks are good in small doses but toxic otherwise — just a massive time hog. Over the past few years, WhatsApp has caught on like wild wild fire in Mumbai/India and the chats are just non-stop all day. I sometimes wonder how people actually get any work done here!
I love how iOS 12’s Screen Time feature lets you set a time limit on a group of apps (or even individual apps) and then dims them out when you hit that limit. My current limit for “Social Networking” is 30 minutes in a day.
Building this feature is one thing but what you’ll also need is personal discipline and will power from hitting the “Ignore Limit” link.
