Mobile phones are a double-edged sword. As the COVID-pandemic began, many individuals turned to their phones and social media to stay connected with their loved ones; however, this increased screen time and exposure to the false reality of social media and influencers. Even now, with the pandemic moderately controlled, individuals still have an unhealthy reliance on their mobile phones. A practical solution to help those who struggle with mental health is to reduce mobile phone use. As of last year, I have been conducting a research project, Tick-Tock: No Time for TikTok: An Examination of Procrastination and Mental Health. I have analyzed 250 qualitative surveys on phone use and how screen time can affect procrastinatory behaviors. The data suggested a negative correlation between GPA and academic procrastination with screen time, supporting the current literature. Moreover, limiting mobile phone use restricts access to social media. Social media has had and will continue to have a detrimental effect on developing adolescents' minds. Young adults are overwhelmed with posts about expensive vacations, luxurious items, and modeling agencies. However, there is no representation of the cut-throat industry, where influencers are trying to make a living off these posts and are willing to do anything to earn a living. Speaking from personal experience, I have been on and off social media since my sophomore year of high school. I have developed meaningful in-person connections that have resulted in no desire to view the false reality posts on social media. Most importantly, I have gained controlled of my anxiety and depression over the years. Limiting mobile phone use not only promotes more available time for hobbies, academic work, or building new relationships but also self-development, as one is away from the dichotomy imposed by social media.
