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 :)
This video is such a gem. You are my favorite youtuber!
Was just about to ask! I like this… I’m going to try it
How did you take out Spotify camera and maps when calculating screen time?
I would actually love if you do the same kind of video for the computer. I spend so much time on it (UA-cam is my worst enemy) but I don't see a lot of solutions compared to the phone...
@@yourtravelfriendanna I think she just subtracted their sum from the original screen time (cause I believe your not able to ‘hide’ some apps from the calculation)
Deleting Instagram then googling Instagram is so relatable 😅
story of my life 😅
Literally going through the same rn 😭
thats so me
Im literally writing this in the YT tab I had to google bc I don't have YT installed

"This is my friend. My dad." Is a lovely sentence and sentiment I will think about for a long time. Love your videos!
🥹
This made me want to spend more time with my dad.. and less time with my phone..
Perfect!!
Perfect ❤
this made me want to spend more time with her dad. Not that mine isn't nice, but her dad just seems like such a cool dad!
@@jim4 www.youtube.com/@LiveLaughLarrypod 🤭
I wish I could spend more time with my dad. Cherish the time you have. 😢
I really appreciated the addition of your Dad in this video. Not only because he's entertaining but also because we often view phone addiction as the younger generations' problem. This video was a nice reminder these technologies impact everyone.
So true, my mom didn't understand till she got her smartphone and tiktok :D
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
Hey thanks Tammy this is great!! 🙌

I'm so happy that Larry is a main character on this channel because he's such a wonderful dad!
Yay I'm glad to know people are enjoying his cameos! I want to do a lot more Makari / Larry adventures 😄❤
Thanks Kelsey! :)
U r really lucky to have that kinda relationship with your dad. Cherish it! Love from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
Awwe… shucks, Kelsey ☺️
I came for inspiration on being more screenfree. I stayed for an INCREDIBLY cute and wholesome father-daughter dynamic. I had an abusive father whom I never see, but this gives me hope for the kind of dad my children can one day have 🥺 okay, going offline nowwwww!
Thanks for leaving this really thoughtful comment Daisy. I really appreciate it ❤
my father is emotionally abusive to my mother and is manipulative so im in a similar boat. but he's nice to his kids. although he still leaves us every day.
263 apps.... maybe I need this video more than I thought lol
😆 You got this.
Go team!
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite UA-camrs!
Thanks Nancy 🥹
same here!! Makari Thank you !
Same!!!
Well jeez. Thanks everyone
Me too! :D
your dad having 8 hours in the beginning is really relatable, also y'all are so cute
TEAM!
Alright you convinced me! I'm going for a run now, instead of watching UA-cam. Thanks
Have fuuuunnnnn 😆
@@makariespe It was fun😊
Your relationship with your dad is so friggin' cute!
😆 ya I think I'll keem him
Usually what helps me when I have an urge to use my phone is taking out a book instead. It's nice to take a break from technology for once.
Awesome vid!!
Agreed!!
Your relationships with dad are sooo precious❤
This video made me cry. I hope my husband and I have relationships like this with our kids one day.
Hey Christine - thanks for sharing. I really appreciate it
i LOOVE how your dad does this kind of stuff with you and is all for it, not many dads would do that! What an amazing video!! Favourite one yet!
Same 😆
And thanks Amanda! I'm glad you liked it :) :)
I can already tell that buying an alarm clock and removing my phone from my bedroom will be super beneficial
I never comment on videos but this was so wholesome, i love your dad and the relationship you have. He seems so excited for being included and you guys did great:) you earned a follower!
oh and the video was so well cut and aesthetically pleasing:)!!
Hey thanks Paulina!! I really appreciate the kind words :) Never thought my content could be aesthetically pleasing so I'm feelin pretty fancy now that you said that 😏 💁🏼♀️😆
You and your dad are so cute! Really enjoyed this video :)
Thanks Em! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! :)
this is the best youtube video I've seen in a long time. May just have to try this out!
Hey thanks Jakob I really appreciate it! :)
This is the purest and most wholesome challenge I’ve ever witnessed
The fact you did this with your dad is so wholesome 😊
your dad is awsome
Haaaa ya I agree
Your dad is so unbearably lovely! Love your videos Makari, you’re such a great source of inspiration and joy!
Awe thanks Ellen!! He's really going to appreciate this comment 😆❤
Shucks, Ellen! ☺️. I’m not sure that I’ve ever been called “unbearably lovely” before! (“Unbearable” maybe?!)
This kid of mine talks me into some fun things.
I’ve been trying to reduce screen time… My phone just consumes me and my peace! This video motivated me to take proper action.. love your content ❤
I love to hear it!! Good luck 😍
This is the first video i watch on your Chanel and I love it. A love your vibe!!
Hey thanks Anne! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
how can a video be soooo wholesome. u have an awesome dad and your energy is contagious.
I forgot my phone at home once and went to work, the most freeing day of them all! I feel so light that day ❤
I bet!! So good 😍
what a video ! wow !
I am glad this video popped on my youtube feed... subscribed :)
Hey thank you! I appreciate it! :)
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 ❤
Thanks for taking the time to write this thoughtful comment!! What a journey!
@@makariespethank you for the inspiration 😊
I wasn't expecting a video that fun! I love itttt
I'm glad! :)
Love this and love that you did it with your dad!! I'd be so interested in an update after a while to see if you kept the screen time down, and if so, how you managed it!
So far so good!! :)
Your dad is skyrocketing up the charts of my favorite people, lol.
dude same

this is one of the best videos i've ever seen
Jeez thanks Maria! I appreciate it :)
The effort you put into these videos is so amazing! So inspiring and fun to watch Makari (: The layout and editing on point too! Keep up the good work (;
This was so cute, I love your relationship with your dad
Hi Makari, I love that you clearly enjoyed making this. This was the push my wife and I needed to start healthier habits. Thank you for bringing some healing to the world!
These last few weeks I’ve been trying to find ways to limit screen time and failed so this video is perfect timing! 🙌
Amazing! I love to hear it 😍 Honestly the newsletter is really great!
Thank you for that! I've been wanting to actually get rid of my phone addiction and I'll follow the advices. Also, you have such a cool vibe that I just subscribed instantly!
Your relationship with your dad is one of the most wholesome things I’ve seen and I love how you integrate your relationship into your content!
Your dad being your friend is so relatable
Woah, this is definitely the most inspiring video for cutting back on your phone that I ever watched. Thank you for your honesty and positivity. Definitely gonna try it out!
The best part was definitely the 0.5 seconds of epic escalator footage at Best Buy + anticlimactic conclusion 👌🏼
😏
You and your father are so cute!! love it!
The relationship you have with your dad is heartwarming!
This is peak UA-cam. Congrats on your relationship with your dad, wishing you peace and love!
Too kind!!
The fact that you did this with your dad is so wholesome 🥺
incredible video. came for some tips about phone addiction and got a powerful reminder to spend time with my parents and loved ones.
Oooo I like!
Hey Makari! I edited Reclaim Your Brain and this video has made my day/week/year. So glad it worked for you and thank you so much for sharing your journey
Hey Max! My dad called me first thing this morning to tell me about this comment - we're both pretty excited by it. Thank you so much :)
I wonder how many people watched the video on their phones haha!
I just love your channel so much.
Thanks Sarah 🥹
This was the most wholesome and helpful vid I’ve seen in a while. I genuinely feel better after watching this. And inspired!!!!
Thanks DJ - I really appreciate it!! :)
I need to get an alarm clock, I'm losing so much time everytime I wake up. Thanks for the inspiring video!
Love your energy :) Watching you and your dad is pleasure! Wish you all the best :)
Thank you! I appreciate it :)
The underlayer of this video -your relationship with your dad- is sooooo beautiful. Keep growing this UA-cam channel while having fun. You're a breath of fresh air, thank you for sharing your creativity with us!
Thank you for watching!! :)
Hi Makari, thanks for this absolutely wonderful wholesome video. I have been struggling recently with my phone use, and this is another inspiration.
I really enjoyed the simpleness of it and the editing that kept it very "pure". You and your dad seem like lovely people and good job on making this journey!
Im happy to subscribe! ❤
Would love to see more videos in this category, I would kinda struggle with apps like the News or Airbnb, that I could still doomscroll when i delete my socials.
And here you are making me addicted to your video's 😂
Oops! 😆
hi! just wanted to say that this video brought me so much joy. and not just becuase i am in my "tired of phone" phase but because of your interactions with dad and all this lightness and warmth between you! thats so so cool! wish i can do smth like this but it feels strange as we all adult and tend to be serious and independent today idk but this video feels like a safe space. thank u and have a nice day!
Hey thanks for leaving this really thoughtful comment! I really appreciate it :') And I'm with you - adulting is kinda overrated...
i love your videos
Thanks for posting
Thank you for watching, Rochelle! :) I really appreciate it 🙌
This is one of my new favorite videos on UA-cam, so sweet and well structured!!!
yay! I'm glad :)
i dont know how you do it but your positivity is so nice and inspiring. Please stay always like that forever. Greetings from germany. :)
Thanks Michael! I appreciate it 😄 Hi from Canada! I love Germany 🙌
STOP IT 😭😭😭😭😭 please you are making me bawl my eyeballs out thinking about my dad!!!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I love this comment 😆 Sorry for the tears!!
This is the first video of yours that showed up on my recommended list, and I thoroughly enjoyed what you had to say and how you said it! I think I have a problem with too much screen time so I may just give some of these things a try. Great job!
At first I watched your videos right when you posted them and always felt amazing afterwards.
Now, I wait a while to watch them when I really need the motivational boost that comes with every. single. video. you post. Thanks for that! ❤
I'm gonna go for a run now 😄
Awe amazing! This makes me so happy!!:)
Wow, I'm glad you are such good friends with your dad. This was a good video thanks so much!
Thanks for watching!! :)
That's a wonderful friendship you have with your dad. This is another fun and inspiring video. Thanks for doing all those activities and sharing the adventure.
Thanks for watching!!
This video is so cute! I love the father-daughter dynamic you both have. It has definitely motivated me to start this “challenge” by myself
I just found you on my recommend and I'm stoked to have found you! New subscriber here and thanks for being great and sharing this small journey with your dad as well!
Hey thanks! :)
The algorithm brought this channel to my page and I'm enjoying the videos. Great job, you deserve more and more subs!
This was such a fun video to watch! Love your sense of humour.
Thanks Wanda! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
This is such a good idea! I struggle with apps like YT which I use for yoga classes as well as wasting time watching shorts. I wish there was a way around that sort of thing.
I absolutely adore the relationship you have with your dad. I had a very poor relationship with a dad with a lot of issues that caused a lot of trauma growing up, and it’s heartwarming and cathartic for me to witness the loving relationship you both have together.♥️
I was feeling the same thing. ❤
your relationship with your dad is so sweet- so nice he did this with you.
❤❤
This made me miss my dad 😭 Such a sweet video. I apprecaite you sharing with us!!
❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate you for watching!!
That relationship with your father is just…. so beautiful.
I just found your Chanel and I really love it & I love your videos!!! Please don’t stop making content. You’re hilarious🙌🏼
She is so talented with what she is doing. Amazing 🤩
this is a brillant idea and good to implement, I will definitely be trying this out!
I love to hear it! :)
I loved this video so much. Your relationship with your dad is amazing and it was so wholesome to watch the two of you together ❤ in order to speak with my dad I need my phone but for the rest I'm so interested to try this out! Thanks for the amazing content! ❤
Thanks you for watching and for taking the time to write this thoughtful comment Nina! I appreciate it ❤
this is such a wholesome video. it's nice seeing people conquer goals and now i want to do this myself!
i just look forward for every new video and you and your dad are a GREAT TEAM!
I love to hear it!! :)
17 seconds and I’m quickly subscribe. The vibe, the editing, the topic!
Thank you! :)
From Sitting in my room thinking how I can focus more on my work to crying because you have such an adorable Dad. Great Video, Keep it up!
This is my first video that I’ve ever watched from you but I’m so glad you came on my feed; this video is so entertaining, valuable, high quality, etc!! You have a bright future in UA-cam! Keep it up!!!
Hey thanks Angelika!! I really appreciate it! :)
Your dad is so cute, I love him! 😭😍
😂❤
For that reason I acquired an Apple Watch : keeping essential stuffs like music, podcasts, GPS and an alarm clock out of the phone.
Unexpected behaviour : the Apple Watch encouraged me to move more. And it is a fantastic accessory to manage timers for any purpose (productivity, tea, cooking, etc).
Great content, by the way. And the way you arrange the video clips is very professional.
I don't know why youtube started recommending me your videos, but I've watched all of them and they're all great!
Also, I think I need to buy an alarm clock now.
Perfect!! :)
I love to hear it!! :)
I threw an affiliate link for my alarm clock in the description if you want the same model :)
This was the sweetest video I’ve seen in a long time, your relationship with your dad is so sweet and makes me want to spend more time with my dad
I swear I love this lady. She is funny, cheerful and pretty too. Need more people like her in the world. Thanks for your content. You inspire me to run, stretch and who knows what comes next?
I know hey! So good! So good for the soul!
I think I'm in love 😳You are cool as heck. Your personality, sense of humor, looks. You got it all. Got daaammmnnn
Amazing!! I hope it works for you! :)
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!
This is awesome and such needed content!!
Thank you!!
I usually don’t comment, but this was beyond informing and entertaining! Hope u guys stay healthy and happy!! Keep it up
Hey thanks! I appreciate it:)
Great videos. Was not expecting to buy an alarm clock today but here we are! So nice to see random spots around town in your videos and a good kick in the butt on some lazy habits creeping in these days.
Hey thank you!
Makari, your videos are simultaneously comforting and inspiring! Thanks for making truthful, uplifting content
Awe thank you! And thank you for watching!! :)
This is so motivating and also the sweetest thing ever!!!
Hey thanks Karina!! :)
