From Screens To Screening

Waking “DOWN”

Snoozing the alarm clock for 5 minutes is a daily ritual, and by pressing that snooze button, you take your first step towards “medical screening.” Doesn’t this custom show the weakness of your commitments? Every night we promise ourselves to wake up at 6 AM, but after a long unproductive activity that lasts till 2 PM, we push our commitment by 3 hours. I did this almost every day in 2020. How does this connect to our health?

This behavior of not remaining committed to ourselves reflects in many other chores of our daily life. As you decided last night to arise up at 6 AM and it ultimately shifted to 9, you might have also decided to some physical exercise after waking up early. You might already guess that the time for this “exercise” never arises. So, the essence here is the “REMAIN COMMITED TO YOURSELF !” and see how your life changes 😃. Start waking “UP”!

Screening Effect

What’s the first thing you do after snoozing your alarm multiple times and really waking up in the morning? Catching up with the news, a quick scroll through your Instagram feed, or triggering a new smoking topic on Twitter might be your answers. So here comes the scary “Screening Effect,” chemistry geeks might be familiar with this term. For people like us 😜 , the following definition may clear out things :

Screening effect occurs when the nucleus (you) reduces its force of attraction on the valence electrons (things you’ ll be doing later) due to the presence of electrons in the inner-shell (things you do in the morning) .

In short, if you first look at your phone screen after waking up in the morning, the “screening effect” occurs for all the other important things you’ll be doing in the day. Your “force of attraction” or efficiency reduces drastically, I know this because I have experienced it. The morning haziness also remains for a longer time if you don’t clear it quickly after a few minutes of waking up.

So, the whole point here is STOP LOOKING AT YOUR SCREENS AS SOON AS YOU OPEN YOUR EYES TO CIRCUMVENT SCREENING EFFECT. Start exercising or just a few minutes’ walks first thing in the morning will do the trick ✌ and help you avoid getting “medically or mentally screened.”

Create Time

Do you know you can create time? Some scientists might have proven that time cannot be created, but they are all wrong. Just bring all of those scientists in today’s world, create their Snapchat and Instagram profiles. Let them became an addict like we are, and then take away their phones from them. They’ll grasp the complete recipe to create time ⌛ , and so can you.

I was obsessed with social media in 2019 and used to complain regarding the deficiency of time. One day my charging port was not working properly, for a few days, I managed with it, but ultimately I had to give it to the service center. It took 3 days for it to be completely rebuilt, and in those 3 days, I realized we have a hell lot of time! When I was done with my daily chores, still thousands of seconds were left for me. I suddenly realized the amount of time I wasted on screens.

Just keep your phone inside a box and lock it up! Start doing your daily stuff and see how much time you are still left with. Even after doing stuff you earlier avoided due to the “scarcity” of time, you’ll have plenty of time left. After doing this for just one day, you’ll realize the amount of time you waste on screens. You can look after your health, explore new hobbies, and do your daily chores in those 24 hours ONLY ! which earlier felt scarce. Just try it out! If it worked out for me, it could work for you too. GO CREATE TIME !!
