Bengaluru Man's Creative Screen-Time Challenge For Family Goes Viral

A Bengaluru man has caught the internet's attention after coming up with a creative way to reduce his family's screen-time. Instead of scolding or setting strict rules, he turned the habit into a friendly game.

A man named Pankaj shared on social media that he turned his family's screen time into a fun challenge. In his post, he explained that he created a dashboard that records everyone's screen time and creates a leaderboard based on it.

He said that he currently tops the list with an average screen time of 3.1 hours daily. He also wrote that the person with the least screen time will decide the dinner menu for the entire week.
