Quit facebook almost 2 years ago, no instagram, no anything :) life surely became much better and if I go back to facebook for a short time (like, an hour), I feel a huge amount of anxiety and pure evil.
Speak truth sis!! Hahaha I have stopped using social media in the past 2 months and it has helped me appreciate life so much more. Instead of going on my phone to kill time, I have been forming human connections more. It's definitely a challenge but I have found a new freedom.
I unfriended my friends who gives no sense and always blames others. Now I had a good time looking at my timeline, I only see positive contents and self improvement. That's why choose your friends wisely and share the things that will help others to excel on what they do.
Thoroughly and well said Kraig. I grew up in Alaska and only recently purchased a smart phone...your voice has been a great benefit staying true to my values and strength living in the moment, being present and not becoming sucked into the void of wasted scrolling. 🥳👊🏼
I've read the book and it was absolutely fantastic. Makes you self-aware of how much I am on my phone and it makes you stop and think if what I am actually doing is benefiting me. I use Digital Well-being on my S10 to set daily timers for Reddit (15 minutes) and I've completely removed Facebook from my phone. I still have the account and I checked it for the first time this month and believe me when I say this, I didn't miss out on anything. So now I've taken the time that I would have used for Social Media and put it towards reading books I have always wanted to read. It's a very small step and there is always room for improvement but the results have been nothing but good. Excellent video!
This book is next on my reading list. My wife and I actually watched a TED talk by Cal Newport that initially sparked our interest in ditching social media. I was really happy to see he wrote this book to expand on the ideas he touches on in the talk and am really looking forward to reading it. I've been reading a lot about minimalism lately (both digital and analog(???)) and I have to say that it has really changed my life for the better. Keep up the videos about new books and your minimalist lifestyle because it's very helpful for those of us who are pursuing similar goals! I've found that my screen time in general has plummetted since I ditched social media, and I find myself leaving my phone unattended for hours at a time, if not entire days with no negative consequences. If anything, my phone-less days are highly productive and leave me feeling so refreshed and clear-headed. If it's not on your list yet, Fumio Sasaki has a book about minimalism that I found to be a good read (listen, in my case). Most of the concepts within were already familiar to me, but I think his perspective on minimalism is slightly different from the "Western" minimalist movement, since his writing was largely in the context of Japanese culture and social norms. Anyway, thanks for the upload, Kraig. I've been following you since the early Wedding Film School days and think that your content has gotten a lot more honest and forward lately. I enjoy it as a breath of fresh air amongst my sub box. Keep up the good work. Don't like this comment.
BEST 21 minutes I've spent in a while. Thanks Kraig for your insight. Made me think about my own consumption. Never really thought about digital minimalism as a way of life but it is something I am keen to explore. Cheers.
Wow! Subscribed you since couple months ago, and found this video after all this time, really shocked me. Been living this digital minimalism way since february last year already, and its amazing, helps me living the life that i've been missing all this years. Thanks man! we really allign the way of life in so many aspects, your alone videos, your clair de lune background, man I love it all !! keep making videos and sharing inspirations man!
You rlly are smth man. Thanks for this very beautiful film. Spoke to my mind and soul like no other UA-camd video now could. I would luv just to sit around a fire like that and just think of life for a moment. Planning to live a digital minimalism rn like you.
Thanks Kraig- just what I needed. Been feeling like I don't trust my own decision/choices anymore...hoping greater intention and identifying what I want and like can help that.
thanks for sharing Kraig. interesting to see how you’re changing from wedding filmmaker to crazy content creator and now “philosopher”. I like today’s you much more!
I accidentally came upon this bc of autoplay and i don’t regret watching. Rn i think i probably need to forget about news, other posts, and putting myself down because i see other people are doing better. Cool vid 👌🏼👌🏼
I'm definitely vibing on the concept of digital minaimlism, and this new book review series. I've already begun the process of unfollowing and removing the excess in my social media accounts. Thanks for the solid information. Cheers!
Great video Kraig! Love your outlook on things. I’ve definitely noticed the increase in how dummied down and disconnected we are getting. We are way too tolerant of rudeness and selfishness is at an all time high! Hope you’re doing well Kraig. 🍻👍🏻
What a cool video Kraig with so many good thoughts! Feels like you sat down and analyzed everything and now shared the summary of it all as a guide. Thanks!
I got a timelock on Reddit and UA-cam for 15 minutes/hr and 1 hour a day... I reach the limit every day, but I'm happy that I have it. After 2 months of using it i'm already reading more, and slouching on the couch less. I still watch UA-cam on my computer, but the mindless reading of Reddit before and after bed has been reduced to just 10 minutes, I'm happy with that. Also, I'll always love your content, keep it up Kraig!
Thank you for sharing this wisdom! I deleted my Facebook about a year ago but still struggle with Instagram. As a photographer it's my main outlet to sharing my content but I still find myself using it for pointless scrolling far too frequently. I often delete the app with the goal of downloading it again only when time to share a new photo, but then I cave. It's hard, but I'm trying and this video really re-enforces the benefit of these more healthy habits. Again, thank you!
I’m using social media less than I did three years ago, but still on there too much. I do spend an inordinate amount of time watching hikers, like Kraig, on YT. I don’t feel it’s a waste of time, because it helps me de stress and teaches me something here and there about hiking.
omg! Pal, i am so liking all your high quality leisure activities as I too practiced it, but somehow my circle of friends think i am nuts. so happy to share similar sentiments. i'll rewatch this very good video here to learn and believe in what we do ;) cheers!
This video came at the right moment for me. Today I met up with my cousins and some friends to watch a football match. I was already feeling a little down cause it's too hot outside where I live to do any outdoor activities. I was expecting a night of talking and laughing and watching the game. Instead everyone was on their phones for the whole time. They didn't even watch the game, so after the first half I just left. I looked at them and inside it made me sad because these are my real friends and family and I couldn't connect with them at all. I feel incredibly lucky that the woman I got engaged to is not like that. Great video buddy.
Excellent video Kraig. It’s amazing to think of how much you could grow if you took all negative habits like social media usage and used that time on more productive and healthy activities. Would be cool if you could do these monthly and mention the next book you would cover so we could read along. Keep up the great work!
Really enjoyed this one. I recently listened to a podcast with Cal talking about his new book and I'm anxious to read/listen to it. I enjoyed your perspective and takeaways, and they mirror many things he talked about. Also, thanks for the other reading list ideas. Cheers Kraig.
Love this video, Kraig. Feels like you're talking to me face to face, like a friend! Lol. I'm also into Digital Minimalism now and it feels great to be in the real world rather in the digital cloud. ❤️
Oh my, this was excelent! Have to say, I actually like using the like button - it makes me feel like I really show my appreciation for someone's work I genuinly like and admire - like here and on your whole channel which I love! So if I can, I will click that damn like button ha! Cheers
Such an important message. We live in a world of abundance, where our problems come from having too much. Haven't read this book before but I have read Cal Newport before, great author and he has an insane work ethic. Absolutely amazing guy. I also made a video on this, where I talk about how most of out problems are solved by removing some of that abundance ->Switching to minimalism "Extracting eye balls and attention is now more lucrative than oil" -Did you come up with that? That's one banger of a quote
Great videos, a great guy. I think social media is a place where the company gains more from the user than the user does for themselves. I have 5 thousand friends on FB, but I only see a small percentage. But if I paid I’d reach all of my friends ‘digital friends’. I use technology on iPad and phone to constantly draw cartoons for t-shirts. Can be frustrating, back and forth. So what you say makes total sense. I’ve been told stoicism is a great read to better understand the world and people. The Little Witch and the lost boy is the last audiobook I listened to with my girls.
I absolutely love this video. I deleted Facebook from my phone about a year ago and never looked back. I almost pity those who scroll mindlessly through Facebook on their free time. It bothers me seeing people eating dinner and staring at their phones. Isn’t the person in front of you more important than what’s on your phone?
I read a few pages of the book on a bookstore yesterday and hesitated to buy. But I’m gonna grab one for sure after seeing your video. Great stuff btw!
I hope to watch more of your content. We are all connected through this digital platform that in a way help people find their own values by sharing. Good job.
really liking the laid-back format and content included in this new style of video. will definitely be looking into a few of these books. keep em coming!
I love this, I just love it SO much! It seems like I'm listening to a similar version of myself while I listen to you, and that makes me feel so connected to you. Thank you for that, Kraig. Thanks for the inspiration you brought into my life, and I wish to meet you one day and share even just a hug. Endless gratitude and love for you!
Thank you for this. I have recently developed extremely bad habits after relapsing into video games again, but not only that I also spent hours on UA-cam and social networking platforms like Discord, too. I would sacrifice my sleep to play with online friends due to FOMO. I continued to do this for over 6 months which has caused my life to almost entirely collapse; my grades were barely good enough for my standard, my health wasn't well taken care of and I completely cut off any relationships IRL. Now I'm slowly starting to take my life back. I've cut down the time I spend playing video games, I still have a craving at times but I rarely have the tendecy to want to play. I deleted discord, I change my email address to a random one and deleted my account before I could change my mind. I've been off discord for almost two weeks and I went an entire day without playing games. I did play earlier but I had free time, I didn't sacrifice anything. As for UA-cam, I've unsubscribed to any gaming-related channels and am still trying to cut down on my time in UA-cam but I'm getting there. I've been avoiding negative content such as drama, etc. I couldn't sleep because there were so many things on my mind but after watching this, somehow, my mind is now at ease :) I'm going to subscribe! Hehe!~
Hi Kraig, I'm sitting alone in my flat, and watching this video made me feel less alone. Thought you should know! Nice music choice, by the way. I might go build myself a campfire now.
Brilliant video! Love the format of the video - it's nice seeing someone have a chat with the camera in such a beautiful setting. You've clearly put a lot of thought into this subject and it shows. :)
Been going through some tough times and this video really lifted me up. Thanks Kraig, this video is perfect and you will always be my biggest inspiration. 🙃
You should make more videos like this... you know about important topics like minimalism, happiness, avoiding distractions etc... I really enjoyed your video and your book recommendations and would be glad, if there would be more of such content by you. Have a nice day ❤
I’m 20 now, and quit social media when I was 15 (also the height of my anxiety). I don’t watch TV either (personal preference). None of this felt particularly ‘rewarding’ at first, I just went cold turkey and felt just fine without it. But over the years, I noticed I’d started to develop relationships with people differently, at my own pace, getting to know them upon first meeting instead of through their Facebook/instagram profiles. I’d also become way more content with myself, knowing I can enjoy my day how I want to. If I didn’t do much, that settled just fine with me; doing “nothing” for a day felt more like doing something, instead of scrolling for hours. There won’t be a trophy waiting for you when you quit or limit your time on social media, but in incremental ways it does help, such as enjoying other things more, getting closer to those around you, finding things out about yourself you didn’t know existed!
Meditations is the single best source of information I have ever consumed in my life. Better than any other book, movie, lecture, conversation, concert etc. Please read it.
Absolutely amazing video. Its both value providing and relaxing at the same time. I felt like I was in the woods around that campfire just like you. Subscribed!
This was a good watch episode kraig. I love it. I always feel down when no one sees my content in IG. Ill try and do the best i can to minimalize my usage and focus on what us important. Ill post videos to ig then will not mind on what people think. And try to avoid comparing myself to others content. Thank you kraig
I really like the book review series idea. Definitely have to listen to it. I always listen to books while running. Have you listened to "The Essentialist"? Going into the same direction, focusing on what's essential. Or "disconnected". That one is also great, can highly recommend it. It's about how depression builds and that the core is lonelyness and fear, which is also conntected to social media making you lonely in real world. Thx for your videos, really enjoy each of them.
I deleted instagram from my phone at the beginning of this month. I feel like I don't have enough offline hobbies or things to do, that's why I'm trying to find more of now, do offline things... Great video.
I accidentally locked myself out of fb and have not missed it in 2 months. Will spend the extra time reading the book you recommend by Timothy Ferris. Keep up the fantastic videos.
I went off from fb and insta...and its now a week,hopefully..I'll be able to overcome it and live a year of no social media. *except from youtube*,I want to go back in time where people eat and talk in dinner without phone. Just living the life.
This was excellent.
Nathaniel Drew Hi Nathaniel, I am looking forward for the next episode of your Digital minimalism series as well. :)
Quit facebook almost 2 years ago, no instagram, no anything :) life surely became much better and if I go back to facebook for a short time (like, an hour), I feel a huge amount of anxiety and pure evil.
Grow some balls!
It's crazy. I just redownloaded Snapchat after a 3-month break and I got that same feeling of anxiety I wanted to leave behind.
Sheesh and good job!
Yet, UA-cam still there :D haha! Proud of you about the rest
I quit social media one year ago and I will continue not using them.
Kraig, this might be one of youre best videos yet. Fantastic, everything I needed to hear at the perfect time! Thank you for sharing with us!
I'm confused. Kraig said that we should stop clicking that like button, but this vid do deserve that like, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Task failed successfully
this is honestly one of the best channels on UA-cam! thank you for what you do. I am addicted to this channel
Speak truth sis!! Hahaha I have stopped using social media in the past 2 months and it has helped me appreciate life so much more. Instead of going on my phone to kill time, I have been forming human connections more. It's definitely a challenge but I have found a new freedom.
Anyone here in 2020 ? I tend to come back and watch this video twice a year just to keep my life on track.
For anyone who is wondering: the background music is Clair de Lune by Debussy :)
forgot how similar it sounded to nocturne op 9 no. 2
@@mohdadam9561 yes Debussy and Chopin often sound similar
@@robert58 is that so? well that's something new to know about thank you robert!
U just answered my unspoken question hehehe thanks, pal!

I unfriended my friends who gives no sense and always blames others. Now I had a good time looking at my timeline, I only see positive contents and self improvement. That's why choose your friends wisely and share the things that will help others to excel on what they do.
Everytime im struggling in life, i come back to this video. Not only cuz of the topic but the whole vibe is amazing.
Real

This one truly felt like a conversation with every topic. I really pulled it inward and focused on myself. Well done!
Thanks Kraig- just what I needed. Been feeling like I don't trust my own decision/choices anymore...hoping greater intention and identifying what I want and like can help that.
This might be the start of exposing my true self, thank you for the beautiful video. Love it!
万万没想到还有这个，这种环境下分享书籍和知识竟然让人如此舒服~

i'm almost a social worker and my thesis is about the effects of social media on teenagers and this video helped my alot. Thanks man!

Hi, Kraig. Your channel has changed my life. In a good way, of cource. I like the way you think. Keep it up, please. It's really inspiring.
Probably, one of the most useful videos I have seen recently. Thanks!
omg! Pal, i am so liking all your high quality leisure activities as I too practiced it, but somehow my circle of friends think i am nuts. so happy to share similar sentiments. i'll rewatch this very good video here to learn and believe in what we do ;) cheers!
Filling up the gaps with high quality leisures
This video came at the right moment for me. Today I met up with my cousins and some friends to watch a football match. I was already feeling a little down cause it's too hot outside where I live to do any outdoor activities. I was expecting a night of talking and laughing and watching the game. Instead everyone was on their phones for the whole time. They didn't even watch the game, so after the first half I just left.

That's the second video from your channel that I watch, n I have to say u doing a beautiful job.
Such an important message. We live in a world of abundance, where our problems come from having too much. Haven't read this book before but I have read Cal Newport before, great author and he has an insane work ethic. Absolutely amazing guy. I also made a video on this, where I talk about how most of out problems are solved by removing some of that abundance ->Switching to minimalism
"Extracting eye balls and attention is now more lucrative than oil" -Did you come up with that? That's one banger of a quote
Cant believe that every minute of this video is so inspiring with one man sitting there :)
Great videos, a great guy. I think social media is a place where the company gains more from the user than the user does for themselves. I have 5 thousand friends on FB, but I only see a small percentage. But if I paid I’d reach all of my friends ‘digital friends’. I use technology on iPad and phone to constantly draw cartoons for t-shirts. Can be frustrating, back and forth. So what you say makes total sense.
I’ve been told stoicism is a great read to better understand the world and people. The Little Witch and the lost boy is the last audiobook I listened to with my girls.
Really enjoyed this one Kraig. It’s given me a lot to think about and some interesting books to read. Thankyou!

That background with the fire is pure perfection.

I'm going to subscribe! Hehe!~
Hi Kraig, I'm sitting alone in my flat, and watching this video made me feel less alone.
Thought you should know!
Nice music choice, by the way. I might go build myself a campfire now.
Kraig, you are on fire! Literally, your back and also this video. Taught me a lot already. Thank you.
I would love to see more videos like this Kraig. Also, please make more podcasts when you have time!
I love this, this video came at the right moment for me as I find myself getting back in that endless scrolling loop. Thank you Kraig

This video was recommended as I finish the book with the same name, oh the universe. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Kraig, this is great knowledge to spread everywhere. I think this format works really well! Much love!
Meditations is the single best source of information I have ever consumed in my life. Better than any other book, movie, lecture, conversation, concert etc. Please read it.
Good choice of Chopin at the beginning Kraig, got me hooked right in!
Got a real Wes Anderson vibe from some of those title cards. Incredibly well-timed insight, and glad to see that you're doing well!
Thank you Kraig for uploading this video.
Absolutely amazing video. Its both value providing and relaxing at the same time. I felt like I was in the woods around that campfire just like you. Subscribed!
Love your videos and podcasts Kraig!! Your content is worth my social media time
Thank you for inviting me to your book club. I enjoyed this Ted talk
This was a good watch episode kraig. I love it. I always feel down when no one sees my content in IG. Ill try and do the best i can to minimalize my usage and focus on what us important. Ill post videos to ig then will not mind on what people think. And try to avoid comparing myself to others content. Thank you kraig
I got rid of social media. I live my life thinking that present, family and real friends is what matters.
Thank u brother...Love Your Content
I've watched through this 3 times, so many great thoughts! Great video Kraig
Such a great video Kraig! I highly enjoyed it and can't wait to see more of these!
I really like the book review series idea. Definitely have to listen to it. I always listen to books while running. Have you listened to "The Essentialist"? Going into the same direction, focusing on what's essential. Or "disconnected". That one is also great, can highly recommend it. It's about how depression builds and that the core is lonelyness and fear, which is also conntected to social media making you lonely in real world. Thx for your videos, really enjoy each of them.
I deleted instagram from my phone at the beginning of this month. I feel like I don't have enough offline hobbies or things to do, that's why I'm trying to find more of now, do offline things... Great video.
Thank Kraig! Very very inspiring
I accidentally locked myself out of fb and have not missed it in 2 months. Will spend the extra time reading the book you recommend by Timothy Ferris. Keep up the fantastic videos.
This is the first video I've seen of yours and I must say that I'm very impressed with how deep and well-spoken you are ^^
This was valuable. Thank you for this. I am going to come back and watch this again.

This video can save many lives of people who are stuck to their mobile phones!! Scrolling is the biggest trap..
Delete your social media accounts, and you'll honestly reclaim your life.
Mike Stevenson I totally agree, I am off Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I just use UA-cam and reddit and my life is more peaceful
@@samanyusethi not a Reddit fan. Only UA-cam now
I went off from fb and insta...and its now a week,hopefully..I'll be able to overcome it and live a year of no social media. *except from youtube*,I want to go back in time where people eat and talk in dinner without phone. Just living the life.
