The Quantitative Self: Screentime Analysis
Length of the collection process: 13 weeks from Jan 15th to Apr 15th
Data that were collected: Screentime on my 3 personal device
1. iPhone – my emotional support device
2. iPad – Mostly used for my journals, digital design classes and streaming apps like Netflix, HBO when I am too lazy to turn on the TV
3. Macbook – Mainly used for school related work, researches and gaming.
Data source: “Screen Time” in iOS Settings
This only records “On screen” time, the time when apps are running in the background (music, podcast apps) are not included. ”
I only included apps/records which have a screen time larger than 10 minutes. Any daily screentime shorter than 10 minutes are ignored.
Data Columns: Screentime (Minutes), Screentime(Hours), App, Category, Device, Date, WeekDay, WeekEndingDate
Project purpose: I want to see which category of apps I stayed on screen the longest. Look for any patterns in the data. See the on screentime trends and daily/weekly average time spent.
Five Questions:
1. What is the daily average screen time across all 3 devices? Is there an downward trend after I start recording the screentime?
2. which day of the week has the longest screen time on average?
3. Which category has the longest screen time?
4. Screen time App distribution. Do i spend too much time on Tiktok?
5. Which day has the longest screen time? And which day has the shortest?
