New Jersey’s growing problem with phone addiction and screen timeI’ve said this on The Judi & EJ Show before: I probably reach for my iPhone as many times — if not more — than my dad reached for his Salem cigarettes back in the day. Yet when I look at my own screen reporting from Apple, I cringe: an average daily phone use of more than 14 hours. Especially when the national average for daily phone use (not total screens) often lands closer to about 5–6 hours. Social media overload, Sunday screen reports and modern guiltI limit my social media to Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, out of sheer practicality. Social sabbaticals:Take intentional breaks from social media — even a week or two of logging off can reduce anxiety and help you reconnect with real life.
