I think the building, sorting, designing vice is far more healthy and productive, while passive scrolling does negatively affect you. So while I love the comment, it is actually a very beneficial change if you can do it consistantly.
@pinobluevogel6458 yes, I realize that. It's better to deviate and engage in activities, hobbies, or related stuff that either turns your brain off or allows you to relax. The comment was just for comedic purposes
After seeing 5h51 minutes be considered chronically online I realized that perhaps I may be on my device a tad too much considering how much higher mine is xD
I left a review for the desert skiff on Lego website saying the price was obnoxious and Lego was no longer a toy for kids and alternative to screen time but a luxury item for only the most affluent kid in the class to show off.
I think it’s very clear that this was intended to go alongside the new Jabba Sail Barge. So a dlc effectively. That being said yes it’s expensive but actually it’s a decent version of this build. At the end of the day this was on back order on day one and clearly selling well at retail.
While I still think that Lego is a very useful and mindful toy for kids and adults alike, having it be a luxury item that is unaffordable for anyone but the very rich is very wrong. Is this Lego's fault specifically? Not really. We need a better monetary system that is not printable by governments and banks to fix these issues. The only thing Lego can do is try to have a broader price range and design many smaller sets that you can combine, so kids can save up a tiny bit for a small set and maybe complete the whole thing in a larger timeframe.
Great idea for a video Holly. For those getting a bit jaded by the usual format of Lego content it’s really refreshing to see a different way of giving us our daily Lego fix!
I hate to have broken the 555 likes that looked so nice, but I do like this video a lot. As you stated in the end, if the only thing it does is make you feel more productive and have less 'wasted' time in your day that is a massive win. Especially if you can keep this up as normal routine. It only takes around 40 days to turn in it into such a habit that you no longer have to force yourself to do it. For anyone, doing a lot more building would also improve their building and designing skills, which is very nice. In your case, there is even the added effect of having more potential content made during these hours, requiring you to work less at other times, or having video topics (about something you created or did) lying around to make a video about. Mostly, the time you spend on your phone means very little. And while I realize watching videos like these is exactly doing the same, it does help put things in perspective. Personally I try to only watch content when I'm (just) waking up, as I cannot do anything productive anyways in that state and it eases me into the day with some coffee. And at the end of the day, as something relaxed to wind down. Watching a movie, or series or a sports game specifically, is far too 'active' for my brain, while watching Lego or Gaming content is actually very relaxing.
Good job cutting back on screen time. I think the key ones are things where you endlessly scroll from one thing to the next. Crap after I watch this, I need to take a break from UA-cam.
I enjoyed the video, but am a little confused. Did you actually “swap out” your screen time for a week or just match the time? Wouldn’t swapping out mean, not being on your phone for those periods? Good idea for a video though.
LightMyBricks is very nice but their prices are RIDICULOUS. They have a quality product but not THAT much better than the competition that justifies the kits costing twice or three times what a light kit from someone else costs. It's ridiculous for them to often even ask for MORE than the actual LEGO set costs. So yeah. Thanks for the Promo code but it doesn't have off enough to justify a purchase of one of their overpriced light kits.
I did three throughout the week, but I didn’t so much of them off since it’s for an upcoming video. They were only small but I’m glad to have finally gotten something going again
I really enjoyed this video. I’m also trying to get better about using my time more effectively. Keeping my phone out of the studio has helped a ton.
I should really start doing that too
Replacing a vice with another vice: Holly keeps getting more relatable with every upload

@@ThomasReaper1 It did put a smile on my face for sure!
Ironically, I was just scrolling on UA-cam when I saw this! Talk about a wake up call! 😂
Anyways, time to build some Lego! :))
After seeing 5h51 minutes be considered chronically online I realized that perhaps I may be on my device a tad too much considering how much higher mine is xD
If my laptop and phone time was combined I’d be doomed

@@ajames3062 I feel like this is literally what Lego is going for , like it’s intentional
20$ US: Lego Star Wars videogame
80$ US: physical Desert Skiff set

If you want to dry you LEGO faster see it you can get a food dehydrator with a fan, and one you can set the temperature.
Such a cool video!

Lego video + Lifestyle video = Win.
HEY I KNOW THAT PLACE AT 5:14
SANDS ISH CAMEO
Geting more screen time watching you ❤😂
damn and i thought my 7h daily average is normal
I’d say it is
hey holly, you should do a 24 hour building marathon.
This is actually on my list of things to do eventually! I’m thinking of doing it next time there’s a big wave drop of sets I love
Does this mean that you might upload more often?
I really enjoy your videos!❤

Gosh I thought I had a low screen time with 8 hours and 51 minutes a day 🤣
I was hopping I can show the screen time to lego and get some lego sets lol
Great Video! This has inspired me to spend more time MOC Building and working on my LEGO UA-cam Channel!
My daily average screen time is legit 12 hours and 14 minutes is that bad? 😢
Very
Probably 😂
You need a hobbie
@@SPOOCECIMO build lego it will take up most of your time lol
Are you planning on using the Avatar parts for the Hobbit Barrel Escape MOC???
Relatable. I am addicted to my phone. And Lego.
Love the idea. Great for us who need help to stay away from screen.
Hey holly! Love your videos!! I’m subscribed and do you plan on reviewing the LEGO Wicked sets in October??
Probably not a straight up review, but I want to make a video on them in general
@@HollyOnFilm Yay!! I love the musical
Mine is around 3 hours. Love this video!
Good job cutting back on screen time. I think the key ones are things where you endlessly scroll from one thing to the next. Crap after I watch this, I need to take a break from UA-cam.
When will you come back to twitch?? I personally can’t function without weekly fun facts.
2:52 Is that the "Rise of the Resistance" ride vehicle?
maybe… 👀
@@HollyOnFilm loll
5 hour screen time seems pretty normal, I’d be worried if it was like 8+ then again I use my phone for work
Great idea, great video
I used to be awful with an average of about 8 hours but now I have a baby & a new job & I’m down to 2 & a half hours max
haha I definentely spend too much time ;) lol

yes
Nice work! 🎉🎉🎉
I know what it’s like getting Lego building done but I can’t stay up late during the night than I won’t get my sleep before I get up for work
Love the vid
It's not a bad idea really. I have done the same today and will do tomorrow.
Damn... I really need to follow your lead on this!
I’ve been thinking the same way about my phone recently. I was way happier when I didn’t have a smartphone
6hrs 57min daily average wow.

I love this idea...
But...
Holy cow.
5 hours a day....
You could literally have a part time job ha
No wonder I felt like I wasn’t getting anything done and my videos were taking so long to make
Oh this is a good idea. Realising how much time I spend in front of screens 😬
I have really put down my screen time in the past month and i have an average of 3 hrs and 30 minutes!!!
Good idea. Are you going to stick to it?
Hopefully, or at least get my daily average down to 4-5 hours and no longer have 7-8 hour days
Daily average screen time: 10 hrs 26 minutes 😮
My laptop is very likely something like that
I got 3 hr a day
I’d love to have more of my days look like that
You will not be hearing what my daily screen time average is. I refuse to write it in the comments below
Good video, but you didn't make a custom build
I did three throughout the week, but I didn’t so much of them off since it’s for an upcoming video. They were only small but I’m glad to have finally gotten something going again
@@HollyOnFilm ok
:)
RIP Barbie house😭
She was fun while she lasted
Mu daily average is 4 hours
Ooo that’s pretty good
Try replacing screen time with exercising and going to the gym to lift weights. You can only profit from it.
Is it true you don't have a job? Must be if your spending that much time staring at a phone. This generation is lost.
Making videos on Lego is my job, and like a lot of jobs involves looking at screens…
This is her job, I thought that would have been obvious.
