We all find ourselves in front of the fruit and vegetable department at the grocery store, at one time or another, and we want to gather our edible produce with as few blemishes as possible… as well as seeking the best flavor, smell, color and value. No one likes to get home and find a damaged apple in the bag, or maybe a damaged cantaloupe.

My point is, we take time to pick and sort until we find what we want to spend our hard earned money purchasing.

I guess I try to do this with my screen time. It is not as easy as said though, because sometimes it takes a good bit before I realize that what I am watching is wasting my time.

For those who are here reading, as well as myself, we all write blogs and spend a great deal of time in front of our screens, so our time is precious to us.

In all honesty, the biggest change I made was removing comercials from what I watch. When I want to watch a movie, I want my movie to play for an hour and a half, not 50 minutes of my show mixed with 40 minutes of suggested online shopping, therapy, or a new pill on the market… I am so glad my writing doesn’t come with some of the side effects of things like Potato Chips that may or may not make you leak!

I guess what I am saying is that I do my best to use my screen time for my benefit, get what I need done, and stay current on things without loosing hours watching things that waste my precious time …

Over the last year of my journey to healing, I discovered a very strong correlation between what I was spending my time watching, and my anxiety and/or panic attacks… strange, I know.

So I stopped watching most regular television, and chose to seriously police my time on most media platforms, aside from here at WordPress.

The only thing we have available for watching is Roku and YouTube, so for the most part I watch DIY things, and old ridiculously silly black and white movies. In honesty, I read more than watch things anymore these days… which is saying something since one eye barely works right at the moment.

Anyways, this was way more information than you really wanted to know about how this girl Screens…

Here, have some Monday Morning Munchies…
