Adults Claim They Are Too Busy to Train as National Average for Screen Time Surges

I get texts from adults telling me they can’t train for 120 minutes per week from a cell phone we now spend on average four hours and five minutes on per day. While the national average for screentime has officially surpassed four hours daily, the cognitive dissonance around what that is doing to us isn’t improving.

I’m not even advocating for less screentime, but instead an awareness that as long as the human experience happens inside a body the concept of a movement practice will always be important. One thing is profoundly different now, however.

No one today feels lazy because we’re all “busy.”

I generally believe and acknowledge that no adult person today feels like that have free time. Time is a vacuum and it’s been filled with something (most specifically screentime) such that even our most unproductive days feel completely full. And, we aren’t wrong.

What we fill our days with, however, is due for an audit.
