The phenomenon where children are more accepting of new screen time limits imposed by parents during significant periods such as New Year, birthdays, the start of the school year, or Ramadan, compared to normal days like a busy Wednesday.
It's like the screen time resolution effect kicks in every January; the kids are totally on board with the new limits, but try it during a hectic Wednesday, and it’s a whole different story!

Derived from the portmanteau of "screen time" and "self-worth", this slang term refers to the phenomenon where you outsource your self-worth to the maximum amount of screen time that you can get from your parents. For example, when you're participating in the competition of getting as much screen time as possible from your parents, while your opponents are 270 millions of Indonesian residents with the average screen time of 6.05 hours per day — the highest in the world.
After arguing with my parents for an extra hour of screen time, I realized my screenworth was way too high—it's like I measured my value based on how much time I could binge-watch YouTube on my smartphone compared to my friends!

It's because the country with world's highest screen time (Indonesia, 6.05 hours per day) is also the 4th most populous country in the world, housing 270 millions of inhabitants.
Every time I check my screen time stats, I feel the pressure of the screen time rivalry, especially knowing Indonesia has the highest average at over 6 hours a day!

This phenomenon typically happens when the amount of screen time you "deserve" increases, even though the behaviour requirement to get each hour of extra screen time from your parents akcually remains the same.
Ever since my parents started tracking my screen time, I've been feeling the effects of "screenflation"—I'm doing the same chores but now it feels like I have to jump through hoops just to earn that extra hour of YouTube time!

This is because screen time has made you lose the interest on the hobbies you once enjoyed, hence you now prone to missing important things in life.
Ever since I got a new iPhone, I experience the phenomenon of screen time as the sole hobby; I spend hours doomscrolling and completely ignore my old passions like painting and hiking. It’s like I’m missing out on life while stuck in a digital bubble.
