Everyone should be responsible for he's/herself,as you should also look deep into yourself for guidance, you should know what's best for you and what's bad, knowing when to start and when to stop if you have been too engrossed here/online. You need to set a balance!!
Although habits embedded in once self can be learnt and also changed you just have to discipline yourself to that extent.
Also, Do well to eat green foods, increase your water in take, sleep for eight hours + as and exercise when necessary.
The world is going digitalized doesn't mean you can grow in other aspects of the world, you just have to make sure you're doing the right thing.
You don't really need to be 24hours present, asides btt and Crypto,there should be other financial books you can also read to expand your financial horizons.

I have noticed an increased time spent on both my phone and computer... is this a good habit that I'm about to begin? Or should I continue to regulate the time I spend with my phone and computer.
You should not spend most of your time online. It is not good for your physical health as well as mental health.

Let's plan your time to hang out with friends, family; or do physical activities which are good for both of your physical and mental health. When your brain is fresh as effects from physical activities, you can learn and work better, more effectively and productively.

Total time you spent for a work does not decide a quality of what you finish with it.

Bitcointalk is place to rub mind with others to learn the doings of Bitcoin, hence been online to read, scan, skim is a normal thing but if you are the type that is not used to be cling phone and PC, you may at point begin to question yourself why have you changed after joining the forum but you know the good thing is that, you will always find this forum amusing after learning some things. In fact, there isn't a days that goes in this forum that you wouldn't come across new interesting thing to digest, you will continue to learn as long as you are active and communicate with others but all these cannot be possible unless Bitcointalk is one of your Hobbies.

You're having the excitement and that's why those activities are starting to show up and it's changing your routine. Everything that's too much is bad.
If lurking using your phone and PC is becoming more than what it should be and it's no longer normal. Think of it and try to moderate it so that it won't affect other things that you do in life. But as I've said, you're having the excitement to learn more so it's really going to take a lot of time. Just make sure that you won't compromise your health.

Prior to learning about crypto and joining this forum, I never was the type to be inclined to digital devices like my phone and personal computer, recently after finding out that a big determinant to one's financial success will soon depend on the amount of information one possesses.

It is time consuming to take care about your money.
A long my financial journey I spend countless hours reading about investment strategies,  about assets, how to build a portfolio , etc

Bitcoin is particularly different due to its unique asset type, so I needed to read a lot about it to understand it. It's high volatility is also complicated to understand and get used it. I also have somehow a passion about it.

At least for me it is totally worth it. I made more money with bitcoin and other investment types  by investing than I would evert made working.

is this a good habit that I'm about to begin? Or should I continue to regulate the time I spend with my phone and computer.

There's a saying and i quote "what worth doing worth doing well" as long as you see bitcointalk and any other platform or crypto activities you engage doing really deserve taking your time them you can go ahead, but be reminded as well that any thing you're doing for long and you have no results to show for it is as waste of timez energy and resources, i will also advise you to have a future plan on a long run because later in future or at old age you might not be able to be as versatile as this, nature can't be cheated, also learn to prioritize things, have schedules for all activities, getting busy with your phone or laptop doesn't mean you should dissociate yourself from enjoying every good things in life including human relationship.

**In BTC since 2013**
I find bitcointalk very informative, and since my time here, I have noticed an increased time spent on both my phone and computer... is this a good habit that I'm about to begin? Or should I continue to regulate the time I spend with my phone and computer.

This question is a little dubious.

It's one thing to read content about cryptocurrencies here on the forum or elsewhere is good, because it will help you understand how everything works and make the best choices for you.

Whether spending too much time in front of the screen is good or bad is another matter. I think there has to be common sense and balance. We should always take time to be with friends and family, away from screens and preferably outdoors. Therefore, as far as possible, the time spent in front of the slaves should be moderate, regardless of the content viewed.

Goodnight, o_e_l_e_o 🌹
Speaking from my personal experience:
Before I know about crypto or btt, I am already addicted to my devices (laptop and mobile phones). These two gadgets are major parts of my life. I don't do without them. So, knowing crypto has no effects on me.

Speaking from general experience

There is need for moderation in whatever you do.
Over exposure to screen lights will affect the eyes. If you buy devices, go for quality ones that has advanced and reliable eyes care services.
Then if online is not your thing, don't over push yourself.

This habit has no side effects or whatsoever, why are you worried? I am a PC gamer and I spent hours in front of my 4K TV every day playing games and I sent some hours watching YouTube videos and as well as the BTT forum too, you have nothing to worry about.

There is a saying in my language that could be translated "Old days will ask you what you did in your young days". What I want to say is that the consequences of the way of life you live today are not immediately visible, but one day you will feel them for sure. Too much time sitting in front of a tv computer has health consequences.

Obesity. Too much time engaging in a sedentary activity, such as playing video games or watching TV, can be a risk factor for obesity. Heart health is also impacted and can lead to a higher risk of diabetes, increased blood pressure or cholesterol.

Sleep problems. The light emitted from electronic devices interferes with the brain’s sleep cycle and can prevent getting a good night’s sleep. To sleep more soundly, keep screens out of the bedroom and avoid them for at least an hour before you climb into bed.

Chronic neck and back pain. Too much screen time can lead to poor posture, causing chronic neck, shoulder and back pain. Instead, take breaks from sitting to walk around, stand or stretch. Make sure your chair provides ample back support and try to keep the device at eye level.

Depression and anxiety. All the time spent in front of screens can negatively affect your mental and emotional wellbeing. Experts suggest that higher screen time and depression could be connected along with an increase in suicidal behaviors and lower one’s ability to read emotions in general.

Of course, not all people react the same and not everyone will have problems like this, but you need to keep in mind that what most people do today is not something people did 20 years ago - and we can say that in a way it's about behavior which has very negative consequences for human health.

I'd consider limiting how long you spend trying to absorb information (especially from places like forums, news sites and niche websites where the critique and moderation might not be up to a good standard - for example removing any obscurity or ambiguity from text).

You'll have to find a balance of how much time you spend doing things and this should just be included in that - if you're finding your interest has piqued from not having much to do before crypto related things then find more projects you can take on (they can still be online just don't become too dependent on one thing) - no one can spend more than a few hours learning about something per day without beginning to trade off efficiency either.

Once a man, twice a child!
But of course, if spending more time online is not detrimental to your health or takes you completely away from family I don't see why it should be a bother to you. People get addicted to different stuff. If the one you're about getting addicted to sets you up for more information that aligns you with current trend that can advance you, it's good. Being here is one of the good things the internet has offered me. As a crypto noob in 2017, I can convincingly say I've come a long way because of this forum. I'm convinced too that you will enjoy being here if you hang on longer.

The world is going digital and many jobs require one to use a mobile device or PC; You will find a desk top computer on almost every table in a company as it is a major requirement, so you would have to accept this as a part of the new normal, especially when working remotely.

I have noticed an increased time spent on both my phone and computer... is this a good habit that I'm about to begin? Or should I continue to regulate the time I spend with my phone and computer.
Moderation needs to be applied to any activity, this includes screen time.
There are unhealthy side effects of increased use of mobile devices, there is also the risk of posture defects if you sit to long at your work table.
• It would help if you build healthy habits to counter these effects, use eye care mode on your screen to reduce effect of the screen light,
• Avoid working late hours, closer to your bed time,
• If you work at a table, get a chair of appropriate height and practise good sitting posture,
• By all means regulate the time you spend on your computer to only when necessary.
