How screen time is used may matter at least as much as raw total hours - this calculator reflects on the intentionality of your screen use rather than just its quantity.
Intentionality% = (Intentional Screen Time / Total Screen Time) x 100
Example
6 hours total daily screen time, 3 hours of which feel intentional/purposeful:
Intentionality = (3/6) x 100 = 50% (moderate intentionality)
Quality of Use, Not Just Quantity
Emerging wellbeing research suggests that intentional use - video calling distant family, focused reading, purposeful research - appears to have a different relationship with wellbeing than passive, reactive scrolling driven by notifications or boredom, even when total screen time hours are identical.
A Reflection Tool, Not a Verdict
Two people with identical total screen time can have very different experiences and outcomes depending on how intentionally that time is spent - this calculator encourages noticing that distinction in your own habits, rather than treating all screen time as equally beneficial or equally harmful.
