    Hey! Just wanted to mention that I still watch UA-cam videos, check instagram, and respond to emails. I now just have more dedicated time blocks in my calendar to do so _on my computer._ That way I'm not constantly checking my phone for updates throughout the day.
    I hope I expressed it well enough - but I have nothing against smartphones. For me its just a matter of being more intentional with my time and with what I consume.
    Anywho, I hope you have a great day :)

    Steps for anyone wanting to try but has a terrible memory like me:
    Week 1:
    - invite a friend
    - get an alarm clock
    - create a speed bump
    - calculate existing screentime
    - set goal
    Week 2:
    - delete apps
    - remove phone from bedroom
    - turn off notifications
    Week 3:
    - meditate daily
    - spend 24hrs straight without phone

    Last year my partner and I replaced our phone alarm with a clock radio, instead of an alarm shouting at us at 7am, now it comes onto a radio station at 6:40 and we listen to it as we wake up. It’s so much nicer than a phone alarm and means the first thing you do isn’t look at social media.

    i love this. I was severely addicted to my phone and social media. It messed with my ability to focus, my mental health and study more than i knew. I knew i had a problem when I started to get irritated whenever my phone was not in reach and it reminded me of my nicotine addiction. I‘ve weened myself off my phone how i did when I stopped smoking, it was shockingly similar. Lots of steps how it described here in this video. I try to keep my phone away from my desk and bedroom, when i study, i keep it in the bathroom for toilet breaks only and i deleted instagram (never had anything else) more than 6 months ago at this point. I am so glad i did. I feel a calmness again and realise that sometimes i will just be „bored“ on the train or in a super market queue, with my mind wandering in thoughts. I have not been lost in thoughts in years and i was delighted to realise that daydreams came back. I will try now the 24 h without phone, i didn’t even think of that. This was a lovely video ❤

    Hey, i almost never leave a comment on any video. But i just wanted to say you did a great job filming & editing this video. It’s so positive, i was surprised to find out you didn’t have millions of subscribers already. Keep going 👏👏👏

    I love your videos so far - entertaining, a bit self-ironic, very nice edited and always with something to take away. Thank you & keep up the good work! Also, your dad joining was a huge win for this one, not only is he really likeable, but it was interesting as well to see two different screentime-types doing the experiment.

    I love everything about this video. The concept, the implementation, the editing, the dad, but most importantly - I love how positive I feel after watching it. Positive encouragement really does make me feel inspired, while usually that types of video (even though they're supposed to help you) kind of feel judgmentally. Thank you for this!

  • @MeghFitzpatrick
    @MeghFitzpatrick 7 місяців тому +3

    Love this! I love that each and every one of your videos are so intentional and that you really take time to spend time (with your dad!) and examine what it is that really matters. Phones are a great tool, and can be a lifeline, especially when travelling, but we spend some much time using this great tool for less productive things and its great to take a look inwards and really think about what we can live without. I really like the fact that you're carrying a notebook and jotting things down as opposed to immediately pulling out your phone to look things up. That is definitely something I want to add to my daily practice. There is so much to be said for less instant gratification. Also, I'm hoping it means I will spend less time being brainwashed into shopping online, so win-win in my opinion. Great work, as always. I'm looking forward to the next!
