Are you too dependent on gadgets?

[freelancermaria]

To be honest, I find myself becoming overly dependent on gadgets at times since I work online, which is my main source of income. I also use these for different tasks, such as entertainment and staying connected with family and friends. It is essential that we don’t allow our gadgets to control us. To maintain a healthy balance, it's indispensable to set a daily usage limit, especially when there are no deadlines to meet.

Gadgets have become a part of our lives, especially when we work online. They make everything easier, from work to entertainment and communicating with family. But they can also make us slaves to technology without us even realizing it.

It's so easy to waste time without realizing it, especially on days when there are no deadlines. That's why setting limits on usage is important. Setting a limit on the amount of time you spend on your phone or laptop each day helps your mind relax and create a good balance between work and personal life.

I can totally relate to this. Working online makes it really easy to rely too much on gadgets — they’re basically our tools for everything: work, communication, and entertainment. But that constant connection can slowly take over our personal time without us even realizing it. I’ve found that setting boundaries, like screen-free hours or tech-free zones, helps a lot in keeping balance. It’s not just about productivity, but also mental health. Too much screen time can drain focus and even affect sleep. So, I agree that creating daily usage limits, especially on off-days or weekends, is essential. It’s about regaining control instead of letting technology dictate our routines. In the end, gadgets should enhance our lives, not consume them.

I do depend on gadgets to make life easy for me but I am not for upgrades for the sake of upgrades. For example what use is a mobile that has a 4 camera feature

I only use gadgets because I was an early investor in domain names, have to pay the domain renewal fees annually, and because the government filings are done electronically.

If you work online then dependency on mobile phone is justified. As I have a regular offline job so I don't depend on phone at least
