I pick up my phone 111 times a day – it doesn’t matter how much time we spend on it | Blake Montgomery

The measure of whether you are living a good life is up to you - and not determined by your daily screen time total, writes Guardian US's tech editor

Here's how much I use my phone by the numbers: my screen time last week averaged six hours and 45 minutes a day. This week, it went down: five hours and nine minutes a day.

I picked up my phone 111 times a day on average, usually to open the Messages app - I love texting. I received on average 297 notifications a day.
