The phenomenon where children are more accepting of new screen time limits imposed by parents during significant periods such as New Year, birthdays, the start of the school year, or Ramadan, compared to normal days like a busy Wednesday.
It's like the screen time resolution effect kicks in every January; the kids are totally on board with the new limits, but try it during a hectic Wednesday, and it’s a whole different story!

It's because the country with world's highest screen time (Indonesia, 6.05 hours per day) is also the 4th most populous country in the world, housing 270 millions of inhabitants.

This is because screen time has made you lose the interest on the hobbies you once enjoyed, hence you now prone to missing important things in life.
Ever since I got a new iPhone, I experience the phenomenon of screen time as the sole hobby; I spend hours doomscrolling and completely ignore my old passions like painting and hiking. It’s like I’m missing out on life while stuck in a digital bubble.
