I use my phone incessantly.

My phone is basically my boredom box. So anytime I get really bored that's the first thing I go to.

I'm so attached to my phone. It's almost embarrassing.

Like I never put it down, ever.

We ask people to guess how often they use their phone in a typical day.

Oh.

God.

If I had to guess, I would say maybe around 45 minutes a day.

Cumulatively, like if you condense it all together, oh yeah, an hour and a half?

I think I'm on my phone like, an hour.

Maybe like 13 hours, like a day.

I feel like I don't check my phone that much.

I've always kind of tried to pride myself of being one of those people.

So I would guess I check my phone 30 times a day.

There's a, like, big period of time where I don't look at it, I just… What? Why?

We then installed the Moment app, which tracks daily usage, on their phones.

I have a feeling I might not like what I find out. But I know I probably am not gonna change.

I'm so scared that I am the problem. I am the person that I hate.

You know what's weird? My phone is such a big part of my life and I have no idea how much I use it.

They then went about their regular lives.

So now I'm home and this is definitely when I check my phone a lot more.

It's actually kind of embarrassing how much I've been using my phone.

Okay, so confession time. I'm at a dinner with friends and the first thing I did was go on my phone and check my email.

So I'm home from work now and I'm gonna guess my phone usage is gonna double or triple.

So I'm checking my Instagram in the shower.

I'm trying to get off my phone so I can go to bed.

I feel like I check it more compulsively than I imagine, but maybe for not quite as long? I don't know, we'll see what happens tomorrow.

The next day we showed them the results.

I'm really nervous to find out how much I actually use my phone.

Like I didn't realize how many things I use my phone for that. I didn't really put into my estimate.

I'm terrified of what this will say about me.

All right, All right, here we go. Ah~~

Oh my god. That's longer than most movies I watch. Oh, no.

Wow! 151 times. Holy... I got business to attend to. I gotta reply to everybody.

Wow! That is not anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. 3 hours, I'm like totally fine with.

Yeah. This seems right. This seems right. This isn't mind blowing knowing myself.

Oh my god, no, no. Oh I was completely wrong on like all counts. Oh my god.

Woo. Okay. 138 pickups to me that's a lot of checking my phone. That's a lot of just constantly going, huh? Huh? Huh?

I was very wrong. I'm really disgusted with myself. This is horrible.

[Interviewer] Is this going to change your phone habits?

Um... I don't think so. I don't think so.

I think it's gonna change what apps I spend time with on my phone.

I make fun of my friends so much for being on their phone while I'm talking to them.

Now I know, clearly, I am also one of those people.

For all of my friends who make fun of me for being on my phone all the time, I'm actually fairly average.

So my phone's gonna be a big part of my life still, but I'm gonna try to use it in a more healthy way.

It makes me think that maybe I spend way too much time stuck down like this.

And it wouldn't kill me to keep my head here, more often during the day, and my life.

[How often do you use your phone?]

Users of the Moment app currently average 43 pickups per day.

According to analytics firm Flurry, Americans now spend nearly 3 hours per day on mobile devices.
