What are your thoughts on wasting time on our mobiles?

What are your thoughts on wasting precious time on our mobiles instead of investing time in something creative that could help us in the future? I have experienced wasting my time on my mobile, but now I realise that it is important to spend time with my family and enjoy creative things as it helps improve my thinking skills, and if you write, say poetry, it helps in improving writing skills. I would like your advice on this.
