vicky_archondi — 2021-11-23 09:57:02 UTC

I tend to check my messages and mails the very moment I open my eyes. I don't think I am a mobile addict.I just believe I am a FOMO person (Fear of missing Out) and that has to change.....

Gabriela, Romania

Visnja, Croatia

visnjavezmarovic — 2021-11-23 16:59:45 UTC

Every evening I check numerous pages on the net- news, showbiz, social media, travel... It started as a 15 minute and now it is more than an hour. I need to cut this, althought some things I read there are very interesting.

Jorge Conde, Portugal

weareallmadeofstarsetwinning — 2021-11-23 21:19:36 UTC

I am very self-aware that I should not post my photos online. That makes me feel safe. 😎

I rarely post comments on news or any other issue. I know that can lead to arguments on social media and it will cause me stress. I try to ignore the comments and feel glad that I have my own opinion and share it with my friends. 😌

I spent too much time on the computer. We have become addicted to getting everything quicker, sooner, faster. But life gets by that way as well. 😟

Nicoleta, Romania

nic_velescu — 2021-11-24 20:24:52 UTC

I have recently taught my students the word "nomophobia" in a lesson about fears and was rather ashamed to admit that I kind of suffer from it as well. I have no time to scroll on social media like Facebook or Instagram, but the email, tens of WhatsApp groups and the different sites I use to get my lessons ready for the next day are rather time consuming.

My wellbeing plan
- do yoga every morning (proud to say I have already started)
- sleep for at least 6 hours a night
- balance my meals
- spend quality family time
- free my weekend
- STRESS LESS (still working on it)

doganbuket968 — 2021-11-24 20:30:21 UTC

I check the agenda on twitter.👀I check my e-mail, messages, instagram, I check my 👩‍🏫 parent message group.🧙‍♀️ I discover and listen to new music on digital music platforms.🧘

Arsaluis Luiza Ripeanu, Romania

arsaluisr1 — 2021-11-25 04:40:24 UTC

I check my whatsup groups first thing in the morning, as I have many with my students and school staff, and groups of my projects. Too many messages in my opinion since morning. 🤪
Then, I check my facebook account 🙂
Moreover, my email f or new info regarding projects and courses opportunities 😉
While drinking coffee I read courses material and look for new info or read articles in newspapers on the net 🧐
I leave school where I use sometimes the computer for lessons 😍
After taking my daughter from school and helping her with her homework, I prepare my lessons (on pc) 🥰 or attend seminars on different platforms 😊
in the evening we have little time left for my family (no internet).

Ivana M., Croatia

2021-11-25 16:33:05 UTC

I check news online repeatedly multiple times a day 🤨 I often find myself scrolling down the page seeing noting new or interesting 😕 This is definitely something I could change. Checking the news in the morning and ine the late afternoon or evening is more than enough if I am not expecting an important update. 😉 I will surely see I have more free time and my eyes won't hurt in the evening. 🧐

pacoarroyo84 — 2021-11-25 16:34:54 UTC

I do not try to use my phone every single hour. It makes me feel stressed, obviously on week days, it is necessary, but after 17:00, sorry, I´´m off. On holidays I do not check messages, wasap,or other things, if I want to talk I call that person. Technology, makes me anxious, sorry, that´s why I can´t follow courses most of the time

Alina, Romania

alicrismuresan — 2021-11-25 20:03:49 UTC

Every morning I check my e-mail and messages 😉
I spend too much time working on laptop 😭
That's why I try to take a nap in the afternoon, relax and use laptop only when it is necessary.

Edita, Croatia

EditaRizvan — 2021-11-25 21:47:16 UTC

I think I spend too much time on the computer. I check my mail several times during the day. I read numerous posts on social networks and various groups.
I think you should spend more time in nature, on walks, spend more time with friends, sleep more and avoid stress.

Lejla Hujdur, Bosnia and Herzegovina

lejlahujdur76 — 2021-11-26 06:32:28 UTC

Social networks are time consuming:I go to chek on fb posts for a minute and I loose an hour or more! 😳
My plan is to uninstall fb on my mobile phone by the end of this week! 🤩
EDIT: I did it!

Daniela, România

croitorudaniela — 2021-11-26 16:17:14 UTC

I spend too much time in front of the computer. Sometimes I work (I create worksheets, digital educational resources, I look for information for my lessons), other times I read the press, I communicate with students on Facebook

Paula Piscarreta, Portugal

2021-11-27 11:49:45 UTC

My habits:
- Check my institutional and personal email everyday 😐
- Check my institutional email many times a day 😕
- Check my institutional email at home. 😕
- Use email as a rapid means to respond or to get information 🙂
- Give immediate feedback to institutional emails 😶
- Never use Facebook or other social networks 🙂
- Do online courses. 🙂
- Attend webinars 🙂
- Search, select and use free online resources in classes 🙂
- No internet connection on my mobile phone 🙂
- Mobile phone only for telephone calls or messages 🙂
- Be connected 24 hours a day 😶

A habit that I’d like to change:
- Check my institutional email at home. 😕
This school year I almost never check my instititutional email at school (no time to do it). So, I do it when I get home. ☹
How to change this habit? (1) Stay more time at school and do it before coming home? If I stay longer at school, I’ll get home later (1-hour drive/96 km). (2) There are people who rarely check their email. If I did it, I would feel irresponsible. I suppose my choices (this year) are unfortunately little.

Ana Ladeira, Portugal

2021-11-27 13:56:00 UTC

Social networks are really time consuming.
I've learnt that when I first started using facebook a few years ago.
I hated the way it made me feel - I coudn't let go of it.☹️
But I was able to change. 🙂 Now I only do it a couple of times a month and I don't have access to social media from my mobile.
I only check my email and messages once a day.
A habit I would like to change - Using email to answer parents at home.
How to change this habit - Do it at school

Simona, Italy

2021-11-27 14:45:25 UTC

My biggest digital habits are:
- check school e-mails, often overloaded with things to do or meetings to attend 😖,
- control of the class group. Often many useless messages arrive that "plug" my ears with sounds that I now consider irritating and such that when messages from loved ones arrive I do not check them 😤,
- I hardly use social media 😇,
- unfortunately my curiosity leads me to visit a lot of material on the net, and in the end my eyes are affected. I have set myself an hourly package as my goal, which I regularly don't respect! I'm going to go out for a walk, but then I think it's cold ... 😌
- My passion for digital leads me to work too often to produce digital lessons, digital educational resources, I look for information for my lessons, ... 🤓

Athina, Greece

eleftheriazrk — 2021-11-27 15:28:57 UTC

I check my email some times of the day.
I check the viber, what's up also many times during the day.
I open my social media since I open my eyes and spend some time on it during the day.
I spend time searching and reading on net, too.
I feel that I'm spending more time online and not outside, exercise.
My wellbeing plan:
Spending time in the nature, walking more.
Regulating my sleep habits, going for sleep early.
Reading books more and less time on the social media.

Rocío, Spain

rguezrociororg — 2021-11-27 15:44:11 UTC

I am nearly 24/7 connected, apart from teaching at a charter school several hours, I own an academy, I know that I have to be available, but some people are used to having me available 24/7, which is partly my fault... I am trying tnot to answer phone calls or whatsapps after 9pm and at weekends... some digital detox is needed, especially during exams time, my son needs his mother too, and although we spent time outdoors walking the dog and hiking I take my phone with me... which I am trying to change, I take the phone, but I am trying not to answer it until the next working day.

Christothea, Greece

c_papadaki287 — 2021-11-27 19:34:12 UTC

I keep my phone on my night table (alarm clock) but I can't resist checking before falling asleep. That affects my sleep.
I tend to check my school email account, my personal account many times during the day.
I check viber all the time.
I visit several websites and get informed on issues of interest.
My plan (for improving my sleep quality and quantity):
1. Stop using the mobile phone or p/c for about 1 hour before sleep.
2. Listen to soft music.
3. Read a book.
4. Have a yoga for sleep session.
5. Have a warm shower and massage.
6. Empty my mind.

I check my mails accounts, viber and whatsapp several times during the day. 👩‍💻 I use timetracker

⏲️ to make my work diary and calendar, search for ideas and digital tools. Then I participate on digital courses and webinars or educate other collegues. Create materials for teaching. 👩🏼‍🏫

I also spend too much time on scrolling and reading numerous posts on social networks. 💅

I should spend more time in nature, with my friends and sleep more. 🏞

Branka, Croatia

brankalovric5 — 2021-11-28 16:55:39 UTC

I feel like I constantly check my phone. I check all my apps to make sure I'm up to date with everything or make class materials. I usually check the news while eating breakfast or drink coffee and I hate this habit. I always try to consciously have time away from all these influences and spend time with my family or I take a walk around my neighbourhood.

Mariana, Romania

marianamunteanu139 — 2021-11-28 19:30:34 UTC

I think I spend too much time on phone and computer. I read numerous posts on social networks and a lot of groups. I play games, everyday. I think I should spend more time making sport outside.

Alina Braban, Romania

2021-11-28 21:56:02 UTC

- I check the notifications on my phone often (maybe every hour) then I read and answer the messages which I consider important. I am a member of a lot of groups (teachers, staff, students, friends, family, etc.) on Messenger and Whatsapp 😇
- I check the students' assignments on Google classroom every day🧐
- I check forecast and worldometer (Covid 19 cases) everyday 😢
- I learn English on OLS platform and from other digital resources, every day 😍
- I check my email every day 😣
- I often attend online courses for personal and professional development😍
- I prepare my lessons using open resources from the Internet 😅
- I use the smartboard and the Internet during my lessons almost at every classes ☺️
- Sometimes I disseminate my school activities posting articles and photos or just spend time on Facebook 😂

I would like to spend less and less time learning English, that meaning to become good in English and I don't need anymore.

It is natural to be online these days. We now have half of our world on the phone: e-mails, calendars, meetings, shopping lists. Running away from the amenities of the world is ridiculous. On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to use common sense. A dream would be a perfectly technologically balanced world.

u_alina81 — 2021-11-30 11:41:01 UTC

As soon as I wake up in the morning I go on social networks. I spend an average of two hours a day. I check my email several times a day. I spend a lot of time online during this period because many of the projects in which I am involved in the school are carried out in this way. I look for various information on the internet every day.
I think it would be good to rationalize my time spent online and give more time to outdoor activities and friends.

Oana, Romania

u_alina81 — 2021-11-30 15:06:47 UTC

Fortunately, I realized that the internet takes up a lot of my time and I reorganized my working time and the time spent on the internet, online, in social networks. I spent a lot of time on the internet before, a few hours a day I was on social networks, at work also on the internet, my computer takes up too much of my time.

Voicu Corina Valentina-Romania-I'm in the habit of spending too much time at the computer to the detriment of my family. In the future I will try not to get involved in so many projects, so that I have time for mine too! Family comes first!

madalinasimpf — 2021-11-30 17:02:14 UTC

Unfortunately, I do start my morning by checking my phone and I spend too much time on it, even though it is hard to recognize. My goal is to do anything else but stay on my phone.

I'm online a lot. I have the app time installed and I spend 3-4 hours a day online. I check my apps or scroll down on social media. I would like to change that and change the feeling of missing out things.

kristina_locniskar — 2021-11-30 19:45:48 UTC

Kristina, Slovenija
My digital habits: 💻
1. check news - too many times 😵
2. check my e-mails - too many times 🥴
3. social media groups - Viber - check new posts 🤣
4. learning - online courses - once a month 🧠
5. search for new information 🦉

I read the news too many times a day, I only need them once a day. This is a time theft for me.
I will listen to the news only on the radio once a day at 3 p.m.
Otherwise, I am too occupied by it and my mind gets too much irrelevant information for my life.
If I will do it more than once a day I will do an extra physical exercise in the afternoon.

Marta, Poland

2021-11-30 22:04:45 UTC

In total definitely too much screen time on many levels - checking news first thing in the morning, then checking social media, then looking at emails. Some of those are because of my work - I am responsible for our school website ans social media so I have to upload lots of things and information.
From last year on I introduced ban on using internet during holidays or family events. I have managed to limit it quite sharply. So now it's a time to make some changes with work - lately I have seen somewhere that I think in Portugal employers cannot contact employees outside of working hours so no extra tasks or assignments - not bad at all ;-)

Clara, Italy

clarag — 2021-12-01 17:42:20 UTC

Because of my job, I
- spend a lot of time on Whatsapp 😵
- check e-mails till the evening 😑
- stay on social networks, read news.
I'll check new messages only on working hours. I'm already trying to do that.

My Digital Habits

2021-12-02 01:54:15 UTC

Before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic:

🙂 Checking smartphone for SMS messages, e-mail messages, and social media updates every morning and evening.
😐 Checking up on classes for assignments and grades via Blackboard Learn.

During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic:

😐 Checking smartphone for SMS messages, e-mail messages, and social media updates every morning and evening.
😕 Checking up on classes for assignments and grades via Blackboard Learn, along with doing all classwork online during emergency remote learning.
😁 Managing and leading a student club/organization for university students with disabilities.

Once either the pandemic settles down as an endemic or I attend graduate school at a university other than where I currently attend, I would love to regain my study/work-life balance after dealing with double the amount of classwork and the added complexity that came along it during emergency remote learning. Due to how the amount of classwork and the complexity of it increased dramatically when schools closed down for preventative reasons, there was barely any time to properly recover and maintain a manageable study schedule.

I don't think we know nowadays whether these digital habits are positive or negative. We are asked more and more situations that we have to put on our computer or phone to send in a timely manner. In addition, I think we have become dependent on social networks.

Ana Conceição, Portugal

2021-12-02 10:16:01 UTC

I'm not online a lot. I don't have social media.
My digital habits:
1. check my institutional and personal email several times a day
2. answer to institutional emails (even at home)
3. learning (online courses)

A habit I would like to change:
When at home stop checking my institutional email and spend more quality time with my family.

2021-12-05 20:07:05 UTC

I think I'm addited to find and share information on facebook. To be, fb is like a big biblio, where I can find a lot of important information. But I recognize that I spend to much time doing this!

Cristiano, Spain
