In terms of my health, I think my media consumption is balanced. I make time for all these activities without letting them overwhelm my schedule. However, I do need to ensure that I don’t spend too much time in front of a screen, so I can maintain my physical and mental well-being. Especially Tiktok, as it can reduce my concentration levels. To improve, I plan to focus on limiting my screen time for gaming and TV shows and prioritize outdoor activities (like football and the gym), or reading my favorite books to avoid getting too caught up in digital media.
