I quit all the social media but, I spent all day on my laptop just watching youtube videos. Just procastinate my work and I literally want to get out of it.
I totally get it!! I found the one UA-camr I mentioned (www.youtube.com/@theabrahamdiop/videos) has some good videos that help with ideas to cut down on screen time 🙏🏻 hopefully that may help!
youtube is the final boss of social media addiction hahaha i'm on the same boat, i've deleted FB, IG, i was never on tiktok, but youtube has always stayed with me. my daily average is 2 hours and to me that is still a lot. i watch youtube first thing when i wake up while drinking my coffee i've tried not touching laptop until evening and that has worked for 2 days but then i'm back at it again. it's a problem i'm trying to solve i really want to cut down youtube so bad to the point where i'm only consuming youtube once a week when you watch too much youtube it can feel like you are not yourself anymore, but you are now a collection of many youtubers consciousness, you think you are getting so many inspirations and ideas, but none of the executing part because you turned into a pure consumer not a producer i wanna stop this i will figure it out soon and share the solution at some point
Yes!! Seriously haha it’s been the hardest social media app for me to cut back on by far. But I think as long as the effort is always there to try cut back on it then a healthy balance has to come out of it eventually 🙏🏻
@@alicebowcreates i have kind of found a little solution to this just don't access youtube first thing in the morning or afternoon access youtube after all the hard work has been done and treat it like netflix when you're just trying to chill around night time and for me i never access youtube on my computer, only on laptop that is working so far!
@@JuliusNarte I love this idea! I’ve currently been travelling which has seriously cut down any watch time but I will for sure have to try this trick out when I’m back! Thank you🙏🏻
Just checked my screen time and so far just today 6 hours and 37 minutes. Insane! I have You Tube on while I’m working too. But honestly I’ve gotten bored with it. I need a break. Thank you for this video ❤ Ps my only social media is UA-cam 😮
My average is 7 to 8 hours. I’ve tried so many times to quit and feel like I can’t. I get anxiety not compulsively checking my phone. Even when I don’t have social media access, I’m scrolling Poshmark or Amazon or Reddit. Anything to distract me from slow living
The solution is to get rid of all the devices you own including the internet and use a computer in your local library if you need to check email, etc. And the other solution is to block all the websites and apps in screen time if you own an iPhone and ask someone close to you to set up a password without telling you. So if you need to unblock a website then only they can do that.
I replaced UA-cam shorts and everything with video games. Gym. And watching cartoon tv series. I'm enjoying my time now and happy more because of the change
I feel like you read my mind. My youtube is going from the moment I wake up to the second I go to sleep. I even started using reddit more just like you. UA-cam doesn’t even have new videos to recommend me anymore. I think I have to delete UA-cam off my phone unfortunately. It is controlling my attention span and my life.
99% of people in the world have this problem. It's all by design by corporations and governments. They got us enslaved to the screen so that corporations make profits and governments maximise their tax revenues.
It can ruin your life as a freelancer! Once you have difficult time with something and it feels good to escape and forget all by being distracted by stuff, lots of it, but then if you are not on a pay check and you get hooked it will ruin financially, goal wise and leaving behind an angry, anxious person!

Same here :/

Why is this me rn 💀
Same here, for a couple months now :(
Screen time is like 6-7 hours of youtube a day, and i feel im addicted to watching videos
I totally get it!! I found the one UA-camr I mentioned (www.youtube.com/@theabrahamdiop/videos) has some good videos that help with ideas to cut down on screen time 🙏🏻 hopefully that may help!
It got so worse, that UA-cam recommends me videos I already watched.

but then i'm back at it again.
it's a problem i'm trying to solve
i really want to cut down youtube so bad to the point where i'm only consuming youtube once a week
when you watch too much youtube it can feel like you are not yourself anymore, but you are now a collection of many youtubers consciousness, you think you are getting so many inspirations and ideas, but none of the executing part because you turned into a pure consumer not a producer
i wanna stop this

@@Tech-Corner2023 100%! It can be extra tricky as a freelancer when you really do control where you spend your hours each day.
I have 18 hours screentime
7th day, and the computation is I have spent a 25 hrs watching videos on yt in a week
2 hours, how cute
I cut back to 25 hours per day 🤣
😂 Awesome 😂 I've managed to cut back to only 85 hours per day. Hopefully in 2 years I'll have similar results as you 😂
Nice video together we grow from Germany 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
