I had no idea what to expect when mapping my use of technology because I never gave it any thought. I wasn’t surprised when I discovered that I use very little technology in my personal and professional experiences. However, this research gave me a positive approach to gaining insights into my digital habits and behaviours.

This map provided me valuable insights into how I spend my time online. It allowed me to become more aware of my habits, including which apps and websites I frequent the most and how much time I spend on them. I obtained my weekly screen time through the settings on my phone, and I was surprised at the stats. This research helped me identify that I need to change how much time I spend on Amazon. I discovered that I spend significant time on Amazon during work hours, which leads to distractions and decreased output. I am more self-aware that I must implement strategies to limit distractions and improve my focus.

In addition, I discovered that I could use my weekly stats to help me align my online habits with my personal and professional goals. I want to use the data to identify opportunities to reallocate my time towards activities. By setting specific goals and tracking my progress, I can make effective choices about using technology to support my overall objectives.

My take away from this activity is that mapping my use of technology can be a valuable tool for self-reflection, and productivity improvement, to maintain a balance between online and offline life.
