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. 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.
It depends on your general outcome of your habits. Again, these habits are linked with the stuff that you do (e.g. spending time on your computer/phone playing games, etc.). There is nothing wrong with spending or using your computer/phone if it allows you to learn from the stuff that you do. Since you mentioned that this allows you to learn more about the forum, then you do not have to worry about developing this habit too much.
What makes it negative is when you channel this kind of habit into several stuff that does not equate to any productivity. For example, there are people who spend countless hours using the computer, just casually browsing through social medias, etc.
