Techtimeout Tuesday is an annual digital wellbeing awareness day launched in 2020. On December 3, people across the UK will pledge some time off tech to build healthier habits around screen time.
The study found that Brits spend 4 hours 41 minutes daily on their phones, which doesn’t include time spent on laptops and computers. The UK is one of Europe's worst screen time offenders - 14 minutes more than Germany and 35 minutes more than Switzerland per day. Liverpool and Leicester have the most screen time usage out of all UK cities.
Steph Henson runs two tech firms but stresses that Techtimeout is not anti-tech, it is about being more responsible with tech use and recognising the dangers. “Think about the hours you spend every day staring at screens at work, being interrupted by notifications on your phone, and doomscrolling on social media. We urge you to consider the impact on your mental and physical health.
People can sign up individually or as part of a business. So far businesses representing over 2.2 million people have signed up to take a Techtimeout on December 3. This year's sign-ups include employees at Cadbury, Mental Health First Aid England, the MOD, DWP, Environment Agency, HM Land Registry, Royal Air Force, PwC, The Economist, Parcelforce Worldwide, Eurostar, and several universities, councils and charities.
