    All day long I'm surrounded by screens. My work computer, my cell phone, my tv, my tablet - it's really hard to escape them. I'm more aware of it, now, thanks to this challenge. I'm a big reader, but screen time has really gotten in the way of that so it's been nice to put down my phone or turn off the tv and pick up a book or spend quality time with my family instead.
