How many hours have you spent in front of a screen today?

[Sarah Oberoi]

At work, I spend 6 out of 8 hours in front of my laptop screen. Then, I spend 2 hours more in front of the laptop screen for my side hustle.

I have almost no reason to activate my computer since this mobile device could already deliver a similar experience and using a PC is much time-consuming, while for mobile devices you just need several-clicks.

Your reasoning is all very well for you, but there are a multitude of things your iPod will not do that most on here will need a PC to do. I can't see myself ever writing a blog post on an iPod, or editing a video, or designing a new website.

Thank you to everyone that has added their data so far. Please keep it coming as this is an ongoing collection on many platforms and to get an accurate oversight it will take some time and need many inputs.

I would say at least 10 hours today. I try to make sure that I get up and walk around every hour or two, but sometimes I just get so tuned in with what I'm doing that I lose track of time. >>need more exercise<<

I'm spending very little time on macs these days. 1-2 hours max. Trying to do as much as possible on mobile, including making these posts! The other day I wrote a blog post entirely on mobile!

I couldn't do that personally as I like a full size qwerty keyboard too much! I know how much screens affect the eyes too, and I worry enough about looking at a laptop screen too often let alone a mobile.

Well, I'd prefer a bigger screen too, but I didn't always have a laptop around, especially at the start of my career when they gave me a desktop to work with. So rather than waiting to get my hands on a keyboard, I got into the habit of doing as much work done as possible on mobile during commutes etc - starting with reading and replying to emails and eventually even composing memos and docs on it! I've even made PPTs entirely on mobile! The only thing I haven't gotten used to is making/editing spreadsheets on mobile.

About 5 hours a day for work.

[jyoti.vats]

I spend 10 hours daily, Same I did today.

[desertflower]

8 hours....that's probably why my eyesight is so bad.

[johnkcopy]

In front of a computer screen + TV?

7 hours at work...then add in about 2-3 hours after. So around 10 hours a day I'm looking at a screen. That's not great.

I spent around 5 hours today to play online game and to chat with my college friends on Facebook.

I will be interested to note how much this varies from country to country and from day to day.

Please post only once per day obviously, I don't want "i just spent 3hrs working", followed later in the day by, "I just watched a film that was 2hrs".

Thanks.

Approximately everyday Im spending 15hours daily in front of my laptop..

[vaguar]

Down to less than a hour now. Getting by on mobile most of the time.
