Looking to understand people's phone usage struggles – paid research conversations
Like many people in this sub, I've been dealing with phone overuse and I want to better understand the challenges that we face. I'm looking to have some casual conversations with people about their phone usage patterns and experiences.
I'm looking for people who would be open to a 20-40 minutes conversation about
- what your phone use looks like
- what you've tried to change it
- how it affects your daily life.
To compensate for your time, I am offering $25 (Amazon gift card or Venmo) for people that participate in 20-40 minute conversation. To be fully transparent, I am doing research because I am interested in potentially making a product that helps people cut back on their screen time but I am not going to pitch or sell anything, just genuinely interested in what other people are going through.
If you are interested, please fill out this quick 7 question screening survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdtKj9RDHAo0w6gx0y2enbJMo09cfNBW5B9giU7jQRQaGwgsA/viewform?usp=header
I'll share anonymized insights from the survey back with the community, I think it might have interesting insights into people's phone use.
