How it works
Hours/year = hours per day × 365; value = hours/year × your hourly rate
Small daily habits compound. Multiplying your daily screen time by 365 shows the yearly total, and pricing it at what an hour of your time is worth makes the trade-off concrete.
Worked example
3.5 h/day is 1,278 hours a year — about 53 full days.
Frequently asked questions
Is all screen time wasted?
No — plenty is work or genuine leisure. The point is to see the total and decide what is worth it.
How do I cut it down?
App timers, grayscale mode and keeping the phone out of reach at night are the most effective levers.
