Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I find my pickup count?
iOS: Settings → Screen Time → tap your name → "Pickups" (last 7 days average). Android: Digital Wellbeing → Dashboard → Daily activity. Average smartphone user: 100-150 pickups/day. Heavy users: 200+. The number shocks most people.
Average time per pickup?
iOS Screen Time shows daily total — divide by pickup count. Average: 90-180 sec per pickup. Heavy doom-scrollers spike to 5+ min per pickup. The TIME isn't the only cost — every pickup breaks attention (recovery time after = ~23 min per Mark 2008).
Why does this matter beyond just time?
Pickups fragment attention. Mark et al. (2008) at UC Irvine: avg 23 min recovery time after interruption to return to focused work. 100 pickups/day = potentially never-fully-focused. The "stolen focus" cost compounds: less deep work, lower satisfaction, lower output. Time-cost is just the visible part.
