5-month progress: Cutting down my Screen time was one of the best decisions of my life (Thanks to my girlfriend and discipulus)
A few months ago, I shared how I cut my screen time from 8h 55m to just 1h 25m. It’s been 5 months, so I figured it’s time for an update!
But first, here’s the link to my original post for those who missed it: I finally cut my screen time from 8 hours and 55 minutes to 1 hour and 28 minutes (Proof at the end)
Now, let me spill the tea on how cutting my screen time has seriously changed my life:
- More Time for the Good Stuff: Less time scrolling = more time doing things I actually love, like swimming, reading, studying, or just hanging out with my favorite people. Oh, and the focus? Unreal. I can now get through tasks without a million distractions pulling me away.
- Bye-Bye, FOMO: Turning off constant notifications and ditching the mindless scrolling felt SO freeing. I’m no longer glued to what everyone else is doing, and honestly? I’m way happier just living in the moment and doing my own thing.
- Sleep = Leveled Up: Cutting out

I'm not the creator of the Humane Productivity Framework. I wanted to clarify this because it made me feel that I stole credit and admiration from someone else for their hard work and creativity. I'm not a creative person. GTD might be adaptable to everyone's needs, but I'm a very stupid person, and it is hard for me to make things adapt to my needs. That's why I prefer ready-to-use solutions. After trying tons of systems, I'm confident enough to say Humane is what I always needed. Currently I don't have plans to switch to any other system, but let's see what the future holds. Also, thank you very much for sharing your adopted version of GTD and how you are making it work for you.
It is very rare to see that fans have dubbed something, so knowing that fans have dubbed it “The Sanderlanche” is giving it a feeling that this author and his books must be too good and worth checking it out. Anyway, thank you very much for a detailed answer.
You've made me excited about this. I'll definitely read it. Thank you very much for sharing it.
I'll check the link that you shared. Thank you very much.
That's one of my favorite movies. I'll get its eBook version right now.
I'll check them. Thank you very much.
Have any of it's predictions come true?
What do you love most about The Stormlight Archive books?
I'll get these books because lots of people upvoted your comment, which makes me assume that they're worth reading. Is there any specific order that I need to follow books of this specific author?
I was thinking about using ChatGPT for productivity purposes, but you've saved me. Thank you very much.
You gave me a different perspective to see this. I'll be honest with you. I'll stick to the Humane Productivity Framework, but I'm interested to know more about your approach with GTD because it seems different. Can you elaborate and share your way of using GTD?
WOW! How have you discovered these hacks?
You're welcome. I'm very confident this productivity system will help you have a productive life while preventing problems like stress, overwhelm, depression, burnout, etc. Share your experience with me once you try it.
What is the best and worst productivity method, hack, or system that you have ever tried?
Share your best and worst productivity methods along with your personal experiences. Maybe it will help others in this community choose the right method for themselves based on our collective experiences.
I'll start by sharing the best and worst productivity methods I've tried, along with my personal thoughts:
Worst — Getting Things Done (GTD)
There's no doubt that GTD is one of the most popular productivity methods out there. Many of you might even consider it the best. However, my experience with it was far from positive. In my case, I found that this method pushed me to work non-stop, completely ignoring the importance of health and well-being. Personally, I believe it fuels a toxic productivity mindset that emphasizes doing more, without considering the quality of life. It pains me to remember how, in the past, GTD led me to experience severe mental health issues, including burnout, stress, and constant overwhelm. On top of that, I often felt like a failure whenever I couldn’t
What are the best fictional books you’ve ever read?
I started reading last year, mostly productivity stuff, but now I’m really looking to jump into fiction to unwind after a long week of uni, studying, and work. I need something to help me relax during the weekends without feeling like I’m working.
I’d love some recommendations for books that are short enough to finish in a day but still hit hard and are totally worth it. No specific genre preferences right now. I'm open to whatever. Looking forward to seeing what you guys suggest. Thank you very much in advance.
We're from Singapore and are going to Japan.
We both are perfectionists, but after reading the advice from everyone here, we are trying to be more flexible. Your advice is concise, but very helpful. Thank you very much.
First overseas trip with my girlfriend – Any tips to make It our best trip?
I'm going on my first overseas trip with my girlfriend since we started dating. I worked hard all last year to earn and save money for this trip. It will be our first international trip ever, and I want to make it perfect, memorable, and the best trip of our lives.
I've read countless articles online to ensure everything is perfect. It felt overwhelming to the point that my head started to hurt. Fortunately, I found an article that provided a detailed guideline, and it seemed like the perfect guide. My girlfriend and I have been following it, and it has been very helpful so far.
However, I decided to come to this community to seek additional guidance, advice, and tips from you all, just in case the article missed something important. My girlfriend and I would greatly appreciate any travel tips, advice, and guidance you have, as this is our first trip abroad together.

I finally cut my screen time from 8 hours and 55 minutes to 1 hour and 28 minutes (Proof at the end)
TL;DR: In four weeks, I’ve cut my average screen time from 8 hours and 55 minutes to 1 hour and 28 minutes on average.
I know no one cares about this, but I still wanted to share it here just in case someone is facing the same problem and looking for motivation.
I recently finished my semester and got a summer break. My girlfriend and I planned our first big trip abroad, something we’d been looking forward to for more than a year. But after getting free from studies and exams, I got addicted to my phone, spending hours scrolling social media. My addiction started to ruin our plans and our excitement for the trip.
More than a month ago, my girlfriend spent a weekend finding resources to help me. She found an article with practical methods for different levels of phone addiction. Inspired by her effort, I decided to give it a shot.
Week 1 saw my screen time drop to 7 hours and 35 minutes on average, which made me very happy because I never thought anything would help me with my phon
