Same here: I do watch some in bed or while waiting for a plane or train. But at least 80% I just listen while driving. UA-cam can be good company on long drives.
Probably my favorite digital minimalism video. It ended up being really helpful that you only focused on one topic rather than a lot of tips. And elaborating helped it stick all the more. I’m going to really cling to creating over scrolling! Thank you!
Thanks for the encouragement. I DO know more about 1 thing than 90% of people. I was in the frame of mind that if there is one other person who knows more than me, it’s not worth it. I like your attitude better. So I’ll try to start creating more.
Been creating for the last 9 days because you gave me the encouragement to start now!!! I appreciate you so much. I'm at 30 subscribers 😊😂😂❤❤❤ super excited!!! Thank you again for being one of the best parts of my day.
I've just had a couple of weeks of social media detox time. Phone always far away, allowed myself to use it only for what it was originally intended for: communication. Now, one big rule is no social media one hour before I go to sleep, and especially once I'm in bed, no phone whatsoever (it's in another room), but either read a book or do some sketching (I draw and paint watercolour). Same thing after waking up: no phone for quite a while. It makes such a difference! Too much phone makes me feel restless
Thank you for this. This helps a lot because I was struggling with limiting my screen time. Some of your videos I watch more than once because I wanted to use that information in my life and wanted to make sure I understood what you were saying. Now instead of figuring out how to listen to everything, I will just listen to what I need. Thank you again.
Just took crack book off my phone and tablet this morning. Fortuitously came across your video. My big “why” is learning how to share my passion for native plant / habitat gardening in urban yards. I’m not interested in being a talking face on video. I’d rather blog or do voice overs of short video clips of living things in my gardens.
This video was a level up! Great editing on all videos, but something about this one was great. Keep it up! This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it!
Thanks, Gabe. It is a huge issue and I’m also trying to improve here. Sometimes I lock my phone in the cellar or the mailbox over night. It is hard but effective.
My why is doing my UA-cam Channel. I just started and the joy of filming and editing keeps me off my phone quite well. Because it is a time consuming hobby and working full-time is I have to stay on top during the free time that I have left. 🙂
I do this thing called "tethering" where I tell myself that my phone must remain plugged in (tethered). So if I want to use it I have to use it in that physical location...which is usually somewhere not super comfortable. I am working on using my non-doomscrolling time to create mentorship opportunities in my profession.
Great info thanks. Your videos are always worth watching all the way through and I don’t feel I have wasted time. But so right about death scrolling…..escape for me.
Good message. One thing I need to be aware of is thinking I need to keep up with Facebook. I don’t. And most of it is useless ads or stories about the Chicago Bears for same reason. I’m a Packers fan.
I set time limits on apps on my phone and often think "can I change the playback time to make the video/audio shorter?" I listen to your and some other videos at 1.25 often and the audiobook I'm listening to currently I'm listening to at 1.5. It doesn't have to do with scrolling, but the amount of time I'm spending.
I bought a timed lock box from Amazon specifically for the purpose of not doom scrolling- pathetic, I know, but I am addicted to UA-cam Shorts (and I don’t even like most of them).
I am a graphic designer that works from home four days a week and I am on my computer for work literally all day. I use things like Instagram and Facebook as a break from my “work” and then it just continues throughout the day and into the evening once my job is over. It just seems natural to always be online and I can multitask very well, so how do you stop doing something that feels like an important part of your life?
PLEASE do a video on different buisinesses, i never understand how everyone is just “i started a new buisiness! just start a buisiness!” like.. wtf do they even mean? dropshipping? POD? shark tank? like ,??????
I keep a timer in front of my Monitor for when I feel im falling into a rabbit hole I set it for X amount of time.. when it goes Off - I close all windows.
I’ve been thinking about starting something with my knowledge but I really, really don’t want to have to go back on social media. Do you think I could market something without having to use social media?
I don't know what I am good at though? I love music but these days the kind of music I like is very underground but there is not a huge following and I have used udio and soundcloud to become quite good at making underground music but it's not at a professional level because no one help build up my skills at all. I am just doing cybersecurity just for the sake of it so I stay relevant as the previous and current job I am doing (Call Centre) makes me feel stuck and I can't get out because I am glued to the screen all day long and get micromanaged and I don't get paid if I take regular breaks meaning more than the allowable ones I am allowed. What do I do? By the way, I also get paid minimum wage as well.
Your videos make me feel genuinely calm
That’s great!
I’m not gonna watch this video. I’m gonna listen to this video while I’m doing my task.
Big brain play
I always do that, listen in the background when I do my chores or working. It helps me focus on what I needed to do also
Same here: I do watch some in bed or while waiting for a plane or train. But at least 80% I just listen while driving. UA-cam can be good company on long drives.
It's what I did 😂
Now to beat my addiction of doom scrolling the comments section too
It's my plan too. I rarely watch a video
I'M VERY OLD LADY AND I WATCH EVER MIN OF YOUR. LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!
Well thanks for watching!
Gets me hyped up every time theres a new upload!!! Your climbing the ladder so fast recently its really cool to see the process happen as it goes
Same! Love making these
Brilliant as always 💚 Yeah I can relate to this.. Having a Why is so important. Finding it is more difficult. Have a Favorite Weekend!
For sure!
Probably my favorite digital minimalism video. It ended up being really helpful that you only focused on one topic rather than a lot of tips. And elaborating helped it stick all the more. I’m going to really cling to creating over scrolling! Thank you!
To summarize: have a life.
Thanks for the encouragement. I DO know more about 1 thing than 90% of people. I was in the frame of mind that if there is one other person who knows more than me, it’s not worth it. I like your attitude better. So I’ll try to start creating more.
I’ve reached a point where the “shorts” are too long, haha. I needed this!

That's a great step. I sadly can't do that because of work, but I have morning hours where my phone is on silent & I just do meditation & workout

Great video! Honestly, it's one of my favorites. You managed to make the idea of creating content seem less formidable.
This video did not go the way I was expecting and I respect that. The creative angle was unexpected but it's quite motivating.
Gabe I Listen Your Advice In PIP Mode And That Works! ❤
I cleared my Home Screen to one box of necessary apps. It’s so boring!
I find creating and editing so therapeutic, all thanks to your course 5HYT!!!

Thank you, I will create designated spot for my phone away from my desk, hopefully I can stop picking it up.
Wait, that is such a good idea. I am definitely stealing this!
Very important topic. Thanks for sharing your experience
I finished it❗️good stuff.
So glad I watched this!
Love the thumbnail!
Great info thanks. Your videos are always worth watching all the way through and I don’t feel I have wasted time. But so right about death scrolling…..escape for me.
I love the topics you talk about, always very useful. Thank you 😊
Good message. One thing I need to be aware of is thinking I need to keep up with Facebook. I don’t. And most of it is useless ads or stories about the Chicago Bears for same reason. I’m a Packers fan.
Well Gabe you are right: I'm not going to finish this video. Because I have some stuff I need to get done.
Thanks for another great video. It reminds me of the old children's TV program that started in the 70s Why Don't You?
Sorry to disappoint u that I watch all your videos 😅
Thank you for this video. I enjoy your content. It motivates me in my tasks and makes me want to make youtube videos again.
Great ideas for ways to be able to create more than we consume!!
I will finish
🔥🙏
That’s what she said
I did finish it in one go
✅
Nothing like people spying on others
😂

Any video longer than 15 minutes, I skip ahead. But, enjoy all of yours!
Well thx!
Great video. Thank you, Gabe.
What are the stats of people finishing that was on 2x speed?
Thank you!!! Great videos!!! 😊
I was Just doom scrolling when you caught me with this one
I’m have to work in 45 min and I just want to watch a video worth while
One thing I find helps when watching these kinds of videos is to stop and take notes
you´re brilliant
Nice video! Did you change your video set up? The vibe is a little different
What mic do you use? Trying to do similar style videos without the mic in frame. Love your content, keep it up!
It’s a video mic pro plus
My passion is public transit and walkability.
you can make a talking about this tbh, seems interesting
@@HabeebKolawole thank you. I think I’d just need to like more knowledgeable on the topic first though.

I've been unsubscribing to most of the news and cultural websites on email and UA-cam and FB. WAY too much information coming in.
For me it started with the tv remote and cable. I think they called it channel surfing. UA-cam was better when it was on the PC only
I lasted 10 seconds on this video on the first run.
Hehe, this is mainly cos I'm at the outlaws and so no sound. Will watch properly later on!
PLEASE do a video on different buisinesses, i never understand how everyone is just “i started a new buisiness! just start a buisiness!” like.. wtf do they even mean? dropshipping? POD? shark tank? like ,??????
It was very difficult but I made it to the end 🎉
Do you have a link to the keyboard you're using to edit at 09:54 ?
Nice intro
I feel that my passion is too saturated in my area.
I keep a timer in front of my Monitor for when I feel im falling into a rabbit hole I set it for X amount of time.. when it goes Off - I close all windows.
That thumbnail just gave me the creeps!
I’ve been thinking about starting something with my knowledge but I really, really don’t want to have to go back on social media. Do you think I could market something without having to use social media?
And if they know what I know?
I don't know what I am good at though? I love music but these days the kind of music I like is very underground but there is not a huge following and I have used udio and soundcloud to become quite good at making underground music but it's not at a professional level because no one help build up my skills at all.

Have to stop the video, but i will come back 😅😎
