    Ironic how helpful this video is because me constantly checking my phone had me actually see it. Keep up the good work, these videos are absolutely amazing.

    Our world needs this. It’s sad to think how much we dismiss our phones as a presence (like always having them even in our solitude time), yet they are our greatest distraction.

    Love this vid :) I’ve been doing something a little similar for about 3 months now. I started to turn my tech off COMPLETELY about an hour or so before bed and put them away in a drawer away from my bed where they couldn’t be easily accessible. Then slowly but surely, I replaced the things I’d do on my phone with other things, like reading, listening to music on vinyls, craft work, anything like that.
    Huge thing that I learned: I cannot recommend enough replacing/substituting things that your phone/tech can do with analogue items; a physical alarm clock instead of your phone alarm, a small bedside fm/am radio for music/news (and speaking directly to my generation as someone who is gen z, radios are pretty cool :) especially if you find a station whose music you enjoy, it’s often a lot of company or something to just have on in the background!) sticky notes or a small notebook for reminders, things like that make a huge difference. Ofc not everyone has the money to buy replacements for what your existing phone can already do, but I find by having atleast a few analogue things on hand can alter your level of dependence on your phone. As a side note; it is SO refreshing to have a thing that just switches on and does whatever the hell it’s supposed to do without screaming at you to update it, buy a monthly subscription for it, or charge it, HUGE game changer.

      👍🏽Same way i thought about it before.
      Iam thinking of doing something like you but by having another phone! The nokia old type u know for main phone calls! And putting this exaggerated tech on my desk top as a fancy device! And not entering my bedroom with it!
      The problem is the sim card 🤦 how can get an internet with the sim card installed in an old Nokia? e-sim 🤔

      Right. I COMPLETELY agree with your suggestions about getting an actual alarm clock to replace your dependence on the alarm clock on your phone. I've suggested this to a few people but they just laugh at me. I just have a small flip phone that does nothing fancy but let me make calls and allow me to receive calls. I LOVE it.

Solo queria decir gracias por tus videos me has ayudado a ser una persona mas organizada no solo en mi ambiente laboral pero tambien en mi forma de pensar y como organizar mis ideas. De la manera mas sincera posible Gracias!

    Austin every time I watch one of your videos, I’m blown away your subscriber count isn’t 10 to 100x what it is.
    Your content is really good, and I can’t wait to see it inevitably grow!

    Sadly I can't detox my phone from my environment, I'm underage and my phone is a must for my parents to know, where am, if something happens, etc...
    I will put the other two on practice though. Thank you for the amazing content once again. 🙋

    I really appreciate the way you are changing your life. Grabbing and overusing a cellphone are sort of tempting actions for anyone in the world, but we need to take control of it. It's neither a bad nor a good habit. I don't rarely concentrate on everyday household tasks because of such dependence on my phone 😂. And to be honest, sometimes I burn myself out when getting bored and scrolling down on my phone without looking at interesting things to be engaged in. It usually happens to me and many people anywhere in the world, but I try to find enjoyable things to do outside of my device which becomes second nature. A powerful mind and self-control are in your hands.

    really enjoyed this man. I've been leaving my house without my phone every once in a while and noticed some of these same things myself. really cool to see you break down the why of it all. And can't wait to try and implement everything else you've talked about. Keep inspiring!

    I didn't know apart about Pavlov and unassociating. There is another one you might not have heard of... If you reward an animal only part of the time, it actually strengthens the behavior. I don't remember where I heard it. Maybe BF Skinner

    Does exercise #3 work with depression? 😣Its hard to believe those strong emotions have such a short "lifespan"...

    • @AustinSchrock
      @AustinSchrock  9 місяців тому

      Yes it does. In fact consistently distracting from or avoiding what is unpleasant and uncomfortable is, unfortunately, often the start of a slow trek to increased anxiety, bodily pain, vulnerability and disempowerment. Depression is the result of being disconnect from yourself, which ties directly into what you allow yourself to feel

    Thanks for your video I ordered Atomic Habits I read some pages in phone but I just keptnon forgetting to read so it's better when I see it and remember to myself to read. Actually my phone broke and I'm borrowing father's phone there's too much distraction of apps so much color but I have to borrow it for messaging in shool stuff 🙃 And yeah now I'm in UA-cam I didn't even know why

  • @brendalg4
    @brendalg4 8 місяців тому +1

    In my case, I'm not using my phone to avoid an emotion. When I first wake up, I am in too much pain to do anything. I start doing stuff on my phone. But then I might not notice when I start to feel better and use my phone for too long.

    • @AustinSchrock
