      I'm 20. I went trough depression since COVID and couldn't spent the last year in high school (Just when high school was getting better). I made the calculations. I went out of high school at 17 and from that things went downhill, and I used to spend a lot of time on the phone or just killing time in the most meaningless way, it took 1 whole year from me of only doing that. 1 year of things that I won't ever remember. But I think despite how much I regret it, I think I'm thankful for that, because it showed me how valuable is time and how much you can do with it.
      I'm not telling you this because I wanna vent it on you, I tell you because if I could, I would save myself those 3 years, and use them for something more meaningful. I hope you can do that. Make the most of your time

    Yo, I've been watching you for awhile now and honestly, you've helped me a ton with basically just assisting and encouraging me to stop doing some things. Recently I've gotten very busy with having 2 part time jobs at once which I would say has definitely brought my screen time average down a little. However, I believe you've also helped me to bring it down all the way to 2 hours and 24 minutes this past week!!! Which honestly is really impressive for myself. So thanks, keep changing lives man.

    thanks for this video . People need to stop and think about how these really sneaky apps try to keep pulling us back into them.
    Example : why does somone's story have a 24 hours expiry time ?
    the people who built this apps can definitely make it stay longer than 24 hours, But it was a deliberate effort for them to design this feature to keep you hooked, so that you keep coming back for more and more updates and trigger the fear of missing out.

    My screen time average is about 3 hours now; which still feels like too much even though it used to be 7 or 8. I’ve got socials deleted and really only use UA-cam; and it’s still overwhelming as hell. I get bored and use it, and despite the good content like this I know after I click off I’m going to watch some more videos that aren’t as impactful just to distract myself. At this point, I don’t have full control and am not living the life I want to at the moment. But… I know I’m on the right path, and I WILL get to where I want to be. I was told today at work to say I WILL rather than I WISH for things. and that really inspired me. But anyways, Jak, great video!!! Really makes a difference and hopefully you see this comment and it lights something up for you. Keep up the good work🫶🏻
