What app eats my time and do I feel bad?

What app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it?

The app that gets me most when I do venture on is Tik Tok. I have found so many talented artists on there. I also get hooked on all the tarot card readers. All the gypsies and crystal ball readers. I love seeing the way people dress to character too.

Do I feel bad about it? No and yes. I love scrolling with my coffee in the morning watching all the pet reels and and craft videos for new ideas to keep me busy! However, I do find if I spend too much time on my app it can affect my mood. I feel sluggish and not energized. It leaves me in an unmotivated grumpy mood.

I have to set a time limit on my screen time now. No longer than an hour. Time flies when you mindlessly scrolling  through reels. Just a flip on the screen and your mind goes to another place. Doing that for a long period of time can really make your brain go haywire, to much to process second after second.  Which in return shapes your mindset for the day.

After all, too much of anything, is never good.

A book, a movie or TV show I wish I could experience again for the first time?

What’s a book, movie, or TV show that you wish you could experience again for the first time?

Sitcoms back in the 80s and 90s. It was all about TV. The great series of shows or sitcoms. The Young and The Restless. Family Ties, Knotts Landing, Dallas….

I loved coming home at lunch and watching the Flintstones or Leave it To Beaver. I sometimes wish to go back there. It was simple and it meant watching TV or movies with your family. That’s what I miss. Not so much the shows but the time together. Today we are distracted by our phones or just not settling enough or too busy to make the time. There are so many distractions compared to back then.

To me, remembering tv, and or movies is not so much about the shows, it was about who I watched the shows or movies with.

Keep those memories and cherish them because one day you may think about those times and it really may have nothing to do with the TV or movie, just the bonding itself was what it was about.
