    It's nice that when you do your daily check-ins, you realize later on that it actually becomes a good habit as you do the actions everyday and creates a big impact to our lives and the community.

    What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time inside and on screens?

    In my personal experience when I feel that I have spent too much screen time already, I strain my eyes and just felt so tired afterwards. With this I realize that when you spend too much time on screens you don't get to do physical wellness activities or just simply move around. It's really helpful when you really stay away from screen, from your phone, from your laptop. Sometimes it would affect your health and your relationship with others as you become unsociable.  I think discipline and having your own limitations will help.
