The Digital Wellness Assessment
Part 1: Screen Time Audit
Step 1: Get your actual numbers. Check your phone's built-in screen time tracking:
iPhone: Settings > Screen Time
Android: Settings > Digital Wellbeing
Record your actual daily averages:

Part 2: Social Media Impact Assessment
Rate each statement 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree):
Statement
Score (1-5)
I compare myself unfavorably to people I see on social media
I feel worse about my life after scrolling social media
I have missed real-life experiences because I was on my phone
I check social media out of habit, not intention
I feel anxious when I cannot access social media
Social media arguments or negativity affect my mood
I curate my online presence to appear different from how I feel
I have stayed up late because of social media scrolling
I feel pressure to keep up with posts, stories, and comments
I scroll social media when I feel bored, lonely, or anxious (as a coping mechanism)
Scoring:
10-20: Healthy relationship with social media
21-35: Moderate concern - some patterns worth addressing
36-50: High concern - social media is likely negatively impacting your wellbeing
Part 3: Notification Overload Assessment
How many notifications do you receive daily? Check your device settings for notification history.

Estimated Daily Count
How Many Are Truly Important?
Email
Messaging (texts, WhatsApp, etc.)
Social media
News alerts

TOTAL
The notification truth: Most people receive 60-80 notifications per day. Each one interrupts attention and takes an average of 23 minutes to fully recover from. If only 10% of your notifications are truly important, 90% are attention theft.
Part 4: Digital Boundary Assessment
Rate your current boundaries (1 = no boundary, 5 = strong boundary):
Boundary
Score (1-5)
I have screen-free times during my day
I have screen-free zones in my home (bedroom, dining table)
I do not check work communications outside work hours
I can go 30+ minutes without checking my phone
I do not sleep with my phone within arm's reach
I have intentional unplugged activities weekly
I do not use screens during meals with others
I can leave my phone behind without anxiety
Scoring:
32-40: Strong digital boundaries
20-31: Moderate boundaries - room for improvement
8-19: Weak boundaries - technology is likely running your schedule
Part 5: Sleep and Technology
Question
Answer
Do you use your phone in bed before sleep?
Yes / No
Do you check your phone if you wake during the night?
Yes / No
Is your phone your alarm clock?
Yes / No
Do you watch TV or streams as you fall asleep?
Yes / No
Have screens replaced a bedtime reading or relaxation routine?
Yes / No
Every "Yes" is a sleep quality risk. Blue light suppresses melatonin, and stimulating content keeps the brain in alert mode.

Intervention Strategies
Quick Wins (Implement Today)
Notification purge:
Go through every app in your notification settings
Turn OFF notifications for everything except: phone calls, direct messages from real people, calendar, and truly urgent work apps
This single action will reduce interruptions by 60-80%
Phone positioning:
Move your phone charger out of the bedroom (buy a $5 alarm clock)
During meals, phone goes face-down or in another room
During conversations, phone is not visible
The lock screen test:
Set your lock screen to ask: "What am I picking this up for?"
If you do not have a specific answer, put it back down
Behavioral Changes (This Week)
Morning routine reclamation: Your first 30 minutes shape your day. Currently:
Most people check their phone within 1 minute of waking
This immediately puts you in reactive mode (responding to others' agendas)
New protocol:
Wake up with a non-phone alarm
Do your first 30 minutes phone-free (bathroom, breakfast, movement)
Check phone only after you have grounded yourself in YOUR priorities
Evening wind-down:
Screens off 30-60 minutes before bed (non-negotiable for sleep quality)
Replace with: reading a physical book, stretching, conversation, journaling
Enable Night Shift/blue light filter if you must use screens
Intentional social media use:
Set a daily time limit (most phones have this built in)
Unfollow/mute accounts that consistently make you feel worse
Follow accounts that genuinely inspire, educate, or bring joy
Use social media at specific times rather than as a boredom filler
Structural Changes (This Month)
Phone declutter:
Move social media apps off your home screen (friction reduces use)
Delete apps you open out of habit, not intention (you can access them via browser if truly needed)
Turn your phone to grayscale mode (Settings > Accessibility > Color Filters)
Organize remaining apps by function, not frequency
Digital sabbath: Choose one day per week (or half-day) for minimal technology use:
No social media
Phone in another room (available for calls/texts only)
No work email
Fill the time with analog activities: cooking, walking, reading, creating, socializing in person
App replacements:

For Parents
If you are assessing digital wellness for your family:
Negotiate limits; focus on balance and content quality
The most important factor: Your own screen behavior. Children learn digital habits by watching their parents. Model the relationship with technology you want them to have.
A Final Note
The goal of a digital wellness audit is not to eliminate technology. It is to be intentional about it. Technology should serve your life, not consume it. The person who checks their phone 50 times a day and the person who checks it 10 times might both be using it well - if each check is intentional rather than compulsive.
The question is not "how much screen time?" but "is my technology use aligned with how I want to live?"
