Many people assume controlling screen time is hard, but it’s simpler than it seems

Many people turn to digital puzzles like crosswords, sudoku, or jigsaw games to relax, sharpen their minds, or pass the time

But staring at a screen for too long can lead to eye strain, reduced physical activity, and disrupted sleep

You can still love digital puzzles while keeping them in their proper place

Start by setting clear limits

Set a personal cap based on your schedule and other screen obligations

Adjust your limit based on whether you already spend hours on work or social media screens

Use a timer or an app reminder to help you stick to your limit

Stop immediately when your time is up

Stand up, stretch, walk around, or look out a window for a few minutes

This helps reset your eyes and gives your body a chance to move

Blend screen-based challenges with hands-on alternatives

Have non-digital brain teasers within arm’s reach

Switching between digital and non-digital options reduces your overall screen exposure while still giving your brain the challenge it craves

The physical sensation of solving a puzzle blog by hand can be deeply satisfying

Anchor your puzzling to consistent, low-screen moments

Use quiet transitions like tea breaks or post-lunch lulls as your puzzle windows

You’ll reduce cumulative screen exposure by timing puzzles wisely

Replace screen-based waiting with mindfulness, people-watching, or audio entertainment

Minimize disruptive light before bedtime

Swap your tablet for a printed crossword or a wooden brain teaser

Paper puzzles create a slower, more soothing pre-sleep ritual

Finally, reflect on why you enjoy digital puzzles

Are you using them to escape stress, stay mentally active, or socialize with friends?

If your goal is mental engagement, you might find that other activities like reading a book, gardening, or playing a musical instrument offer similar benefits with less screen exposure

Self-awareness turns passive scrolling into purposeful engagement

Enjoying digital brainteasers is fine—just do it mindfully

Smart scheduling and intentional use make the difference

With small adjustments, you can keep your mind sharp, stay relaxed, and still protect your health and well-being
