Njengabantu abaningi abanama-akhawunti wezokuxhumana, ngizovuma ukuthi ngichitha isikhathi esiningi ngibuka isikrini esincane esikhanyayo esandleni sami. Kuyo yonke le minyaka, ukusetshenziswa kwami ​​kwemidiya yezenhlalo kuye kwenyuka, futhi kwafinyelela ezingeni lapho ukusetshenziswa kwebhethri lami le-iPhone kulinganiselwa ukuthi ngichithe amahora ayisikhombisa kuya kwayisishiyagalombili efonini yami njengesilinganiso sansuku zonke. Yikes. Ngenzenjani ngaso sonke leso sikhathi esengeziwe enganginaso?!

Njengoba kusobala ukuthi i-Instagram ne-Twitter (isikhathi sami esiyinhloko siyangidla) azihambi-noma zincipha umlutha-noma nini maduze, nginqume ukuthi kwase kuyisikhathi sokumelana nezinhlelo zokusebenza.

Ubuchwepheshe obusha besikhathi sesikrini obunempilo

Kwavela ukuthi, abantu bakwa-Apple ne-Google babenesitimela sokucabanga esifanayo. Ngasekuqaleni konyaka, lezi zinhlaka ezimbili zobuchwepheshe zimemezele amathuluzi amasha okusiza ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwe-smartphone. Ku-iOS 12, i-Apple ikhishwe i-Screen Time, elandelela ukuthi uchitha isikhathi esingakanani usebenzisa ifoni yakho, kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza, nasezigabeni ezifana nokuxhumana nabantu, ukuzijabulisa nokukhiqiza. Ungasetha imikhawulo yesikhathi ezigabeni zohlelo lwakho lokusebenza, njengehora elilodwa ekuxhumaneni nomphakathi. Kodwa-ke, le mikhawulo ezizibekele yona kulula kakhulu ukuyikhipha - mane uthephe okuthi "Ngikhumbuze ngemizuzu engu-15," futhi okuphakelayo kwakho kwe-Instagram kuzobuya kuyo yonke inkazimulo yayo emibalabala.

I-Google ibonakala ithatha ukuma okuqinile. Njengesikhathi Sesikrini, Ukusebenza Kwedijithali ye-Google kubonisa isikhathi esichithwe kudivayisi nakwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza, kodwa uma weqa Umkhawulo wakho Wesikhathi onqunyiwe, isithonjana salolo hlelo lokusebenza siba mpunga usuku lonke. Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokuthola kabusha ukufinyelela iwukuba ungene kudeshibhodi Yokusebenza bese ususa mathupha umkhawulo.

Njengomsebenzisi we-iPhone, ngangijabule ukuba nesithombe esicacile sokuthi ngangichitha isikhathi esingakanani (er, nokumosha) ezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Kepha okokuqala, ngazibuza: Singakanani isikhathi "ebesiningi kakhulu" ongasichitha ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, impela? Ukufunda kabanzi, ngiye kochwepheshe-ngafunda ukuthi bekungekho mpendulo esayizi-eyodwa-yonke.

"Enye yezinto ezibalulekile ekutholeni ukuthi ngabe uchitha isikhathi esiningi kakhulu kwi-inthanethi kubheka ukubona ukuthi ukuziphatha kwakho kuyaphazamisa yini ezinye izici zempilo yakho," kusho uJeff Nalin, Psy.D., Ph.D., isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo, ukuluthwa onguchwepheshe, nomsunguli weParadigm Treatment Centres.

Ngamanye amagama, uma imikhuba yakho yezokuxhumana ithinta isikhathi nomndeni noma nabangane, noma uma ukhetha ifoni yakho kunezinye izinto zokuzijabulisa, isikhathi sakho sesikrini sesibe yinkinga. (Ukuchitha isikhathi esiningi emithonjeni yezokuxhumana kungathinta nomzimba wakho.)

Angicabangi ukuthi ngiyoze ngize ngithi “nginesiphithiphithi” uma kuziwa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, kodwa ngiyavuma: Ngizithole sengifinyelela ucingo lwami lapho kufanele ngigxile emsebenzini. . Ngibizwe abangani nomndeni ukuthi ngiyeke ukubuka i-Instagram ngesikhathi sesidlo sakusihlwa, futhi ngiyakuzonda ukuba khona ukuthi umuntu.

Ngakho-ke, nginqume ukubeka lawa mathuluzi amasha esivivinyweni futhi ngabeka umkhawulo wehora elilodwa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ku-iPhone yami ukuze ngiqhube ukuhlolwa komuntu siqu kwenyanga eyodwa. Nakhu ukuthi kuhambe kanjani.

Ukushaqeka kokuqala

Ngokushesha, injabulo yami mayelana nalolu cwaningo yaphenduka ukwesaba. Ngifunde ukuthi ihora elilodwa bekuyisikhathi esifushane ngokumangazayo engizosisebenzisa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Ngosuku lokuqala, ngashaqeka lapho ngifika kumkhawulo wehora lami ngesikhathi engangidla ngaso ibhulakufesi, ngenxa yezikhathi zami zokusa ekuseni ngisembhedeni.

Lokho kwasebenza njengocingo lokuvusa. Ngabe bekusiza ngempela noma kukhiqiza ukuchitha isikhathi ngibuka izindaba ze-Instagram zabantu ongabazi ngaphambi kokuthi ngivuke embhedeni? Lutho neze. Eqinisweni, kungenzeka ukuthi yayenza umonakalo omkhulu kakhulu empilweni yami yengqondo-nasekusebenzeni kwami-kunalokho engangikubona.

Lapho ngicela izeluleko kochwepheshe ukuthi nginqamula kanjani, kwakungekho mpendulo ecacile. UNalin watusa ukuhlela izikhathi eziyimizuzu engu-15 kuya kwengu-20 ngezikhathi ezithile phakathi nosuku njengesinyathelo somntwana.

Ngokufanayo, ungavimba izikhathi ezithile zosuku ukuthi zibe "ezokuxhumana-ezinobungane," kuphakamisa uJessica Abo, intatheli nombhali we Okungahlungiwe: Ungajabula Kanjani Njengoba Ubheka Ezingosini Zokuxhumana. Mhlawumbe ufuna ukunikela ngemizuzu engama-30 oyichitha ebhasini uya emsebenzini, imizuzu eyi-10 uyazi ukuthi uzoyisebenzisa emgqeni ulinde ikhofi lakho, noma imizuzu emihlanu ngesikhathi sekhefu lakho lokuhlola izinhlelo zakho zokusebenza, usho kanjalo.

Isixwayiso esisodwa: "Yenza okuzwakala kukukhululekile ekuqaleni, ngoba uma ubeka imithetho eminingi ngokushesha okukhulu, ungahle ungakhuthazeki ukunamathela enhlosweni yakho." Cishe bekufanele ngabe ngiqale ngomkhawulo wesikhathi eside ekuqaleni, kepha ngicabanga ngobuqotho ukuthi ihora elilodwa lizokwenzeka. Kuyethusa impela uma uqala ukubona ukuthi ingakanani-ukuncela ifoni yakho isikhathi esingakanani.

Ukwenza Intuthuko

Njengoba ngibambile isikhathi engisichithe ocingweni lwami ekuseni, ngakuthola kulula kakhulu ukuhlala ngaphakathi komkhawulo wehora. Ngaqala ukufinyelela umkhawulo wehora eduze kuka-4 noma u-5 p.m., nakuba ngokuqinisekile zazikhona izinsuku ezithile lapho ngifika khona emini. (Lokho kwakumangalisa kakhulu-ikakhulukazi ezinsukwini lapho ngivuka ngo-8 ekuseni. Lokho kwakusho ukuthi sengivele ngichithe okungenani ingxenye eyodwa kwezine yosuku lwami ngigqolozele leso sikrini esincane.)

Ukukhuluma iqiniso, omunye umsebenzi wami ugxile ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, ngakho-ke bekungekhona konke ukuskrola okungenangqondo. Ngisebenzisa i-akhawunti eprofeshinali lapho ngihlanganyela khona izeluleko zami zokubhala nezempilo, futhi ngisebenzisa ibhulogi ne-akhawunti yezokuxhumana yeklayenti. Uma ngibheka emuva, bekufanele ngabe ngafaka mhlawumbe imizuzu eyengeziwe engama-30 ukuvumela isikhathi esichithwe "ukusebenza" ezinkundleni zokuxhumana.

Noma kunjalo, ngisho nangezimpelasonto (lapho mhlawumbe bengingawenzi umsebenzi wangempela), angibanga nankinga yokushaya umkhawulo wehora ngo-5 ntambama. Futhi ngizokhuluma iqiniso: Njalo ngosuku olulodwa lwalolu cwaningo lwenyanga yonke, ngichofoze okuthi "Ngikhumbuze emaminithini angu-15"...um, izikhathi eziningi. Cishe ingeze cishe ihora elengeziwe elichithwa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ngosuku, uma kungengaphezulu.

Ngabuza ongoti ukuthi yini engingayenza ukuze ngilwe nalokhu kuthambekela okungenampilo ukuya phambili. (Okuhlobene: Ngichithe Inyanga Ngenkani Ngingalandeli Abantu Ezinkundleni zokuxhumana)

“Yima uzibuze ngokuzwakalayo, ‘Kungani ngidinga isikhathi esengeziwe lapha?’” kusho u-Abo. "Ungase uthole ukuthi uzama ukwelapha isithukuthezi sakho, futhi empeleni awudingi ukuchitha isikhathi esiningi efonini yakho. Uma ukwazi, zama ukuzinikeza isandiso esisodwa kuphela phakathi nosuku, ukuze uhlale ubheka kangcono. uvama kangaki ukusiziba leso sexwayiso. "

Ngizamile lokho, futhi kuyasiza impela. Ngizibambe ngithi ngokuzwakalayo, "Ngenzani lapha?" bese ngiphonsa ifoni yami ngaphesheya kwetafula (ngobumnene!). Hheyi, noma yini iyasebenza, akunjalo ?!

UNalin uthi ukuziphazamisa kungasiza futhi. Thatha uhambo lokuhamba (ngaphandle kocingo!), Zijwayeze ukuzindla kwengqondo ngemizuzu emihlanu, shayela umngani, noma uchithe imizuzu embalwa ngesilwane, uphakamisa. "Lezi zinhlobo zokuthikamezeka zizosiza ekusiqedeni ekuvumeleni isilingo."

Izwi Lokugcina

Ngemuva kwalokhu kuhlolwa, sengiyazi ngokwengeziwe imikhuba yami yezokuxhumana nabantu-nokuthi bangakanani isikhathi abasithatha emsebenzini okhiqizayo, kanye nesikhathi sekhwalithi nomndeni nabangane. Nakuba ngingacabangi ukuthi "nginenkinga," ngi ngabe ngithanda ukunciphisa ukuthambekela kwami ​​okuzenzakalelayo kokubheka ezinkundleni zokuxhumana.

Manje yisiphi isinqumo kula mathuluzi we-smartphone? UNalin uzwakalisa ukuqaphela. “Mancane amathuba okuthi isicelo esilula sizogqugquzela abasebenzisi bezingcingo abasindayo noma abayimilutha yezinkundla zokuxhumana ukuthi banciphise ukusetshenziswa kwabo,” usho kanje.

Noma kunjalo, la mathuluzi angakusiza ukuthi ube ngaphezulu uyazi ukusetshenziswa kwakho, futhi okungenani kukukhuthaza ukuthi uqale ukushintsha imikhuba yakho ngendlela ehlala njalo. "Njengesinqumo sikaNcibijane, ekuqaleni ungakhuthazeka ukusebenzisa leli thuluzi njengendlela yokuguqula umkhuba oluthayo. Kodwa amanye amasu asebenza kangcono angenziwa ukukusiza ukuphatha kangcono isikhathi sakho sezokuxhumana," kusho uNalin. "Uhlelo lokusebenza olukhawulela isikhathi lungakusiza ukuthi ubeke imingcele ethile, kepha akufanele ulindele ukwelashwa ngomlingo." (Mhlawumbe zama lezi zeluleko zokwenza i-detox yedijithali ngaphandle kwe-FOMO.)
