Realistic day in my life as a digital content manager
This may or may not come as a surprise to you, but despite my digital minimalist intentions, my 9-5 job is actually working as a digital content manager from home. In this realistic day in my life vlog, I share what my work entails as well as sharing my thoughts on how my job contradicts how I am trying to cut back on screen time in my personal life. Although I work on a laptop all day, I've found that it has increased my motivation to quit social media and extra screen time outside of work. I generally find working from home to be productive and fulfilling, especially as I can flexibly control my schedule and go outside during the day.

Building a shoe rack instead of scrolling on my phone
Просмотров 9944 месяца назад

While the initial gap left me seeking out more content, I've started to notice I have new ideas for projects. This week I wanted to build a shoe rack, to sovle an organisational problem in my house. After picking up some free wood from the street, I spontaneously started building this ...

No Social Media for a Week (I read books instead!)

Would a FLIP PHONE work for you?
Просмотров 9 тыс.10 месяцев назад

Today I show you how to evaluate your current phone usage, helping you to decide if buying a flip phone is the answer to your social media addiction or would simply be a massive inconvenience in your life.

Instead of mindless scrolling I am
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.Год назад
Since spending almost a year using a Nokia flip phone a while back, my perception of social media and smartphones has shifted. Picking up my device to scroll infinitely through photos, videos and information no longer seems as enticing as it once did. I no longer find myself doomscrolling into the depths of social media or the news. This video is a reflection of that realisation. I hope you are...

Follow me through the week as I read up to 4 hours in one day! Have you ever tried reading instead of using social media or scrolling on your phone? How did it go?

Being the smallest bedroom I've lived in yet, today I'm showing you my 80 sqft room and how I've used the space. Though it is a tiny bedroom, I've definitely enjoyed decorating and spending time here. With plenty of houseplants, books, CDs and art prints - I've made this room my own despite the lack of space. Last year my bedroom was also pretty small, click here to watch that: ruclips.net/vide...

Why I Stopped Wearing Makeup & What I Learned
hi , how its going i also want to do this can u pls guide me
It blows my mind there’s not a cell phone with no internet or WiFi people with social media addictions or porn are really in trouble. It's not like drug addicts where you have to drive to the store or order online and wait awhile it's in your pocket.
you seem like a great and thoughtful person
love this video, just switched too, lets get back for times where it wasn't essential to be around the whole world constantly
Is there phone version of this extension?
That's a wify material right there
Finally an entire video without fillers. If there is one thing I do not like is people who keep saying ummmm, ahhhh and uhhhhh. So this was quite refreshing for me to listen to. Bravo young lady.
I am a male, and I might just replace my screen time with working out, and fitness.
😪
Great video, thank you!
i really need whatsapp to talk to other people. is whatsapp still usable on that phone?
im in 8th grade, but for whatever reason, i havent gotten on the whole social media thing, i mean, youtube is about it. I know some people enjoy uploading things and letting other people know what they are doing, but as for me, I find it strange that people obbses of other peoples lives, (like with celebrites and other stuff, I mean, sure, their rich, but they are still just people.)
Hi there smart and attractive woman , we share the same values 😄
Just what happened?
wish i could view map, order food and taxi from this phone though.
Hi you can use google maps, for ordering food you can call your restaurant and place your order. Taxi may be the only problem but as far as i know there are taxis (not uber) that you can call in some countries.
I had a flip phone throughout my high school years before getting my first smartphone after high school I still have my cd player walkman from middle school, I still listen music via iPod touch
Excellent poetry! Love it
Hey, i want to switch too. Did you lose all your Whatsapp Chats when u switched to the Flip Phone?
about music, you can download music (legally or sailing the internet seas) and load it on a sd memory card, it may take more steps than spotify but at least you're sure none of your songs are going to dissapear on a random day because the artist/music label took it down.
I hate to brag but I’ve gone 76 years without a smart phone. If I win a valuable prize I just hope it’s not a Smartphone! Cheers!
When you say delete social media, do you mean the accounts or the apps?
I deactivated my accounts and deleted the apps
ahhh CDs are amazing
I am currently using a Nokia 3210 that was released this year 2024
How is the message system/SMS? On my old siemens, If I first got an SMS from my dad, then mom, then dad again, the inbox looked like this: Dad Mom Dad So I had to delete messages all the time because it used all the space on the phone. I would rather have like it’s om IPhone; each contact have their own «page» with all the messages
I brought my flip phone today 🖤 excited and nervous
The Nokia predictive text used to be pretty damn good back in the day, is that not still a thing?
Interesting
The way you end your sentence is awful and unattractive. Stop copying rich people
2 year update??
How to reach out to you 😊
This was best decision, i also switched to flip phone, Cat flip 22
If you could again do a room tour, please with fewer details
You and other creators are slowly, but surely convincing me to make the switch..
Porque ya no hace videos
I make videos , mainly about wildlife and nature .It's put me in touch with visually every country of the word , where I connect with those living there .A positive genre , no trolls and posting is once a week or twice a week..British , Living in German one must speak fluent German but do enjoy the multi lingual nature .Finally, at times you can find the answer to a problem and that Ella is a plus for YT .Thanks again . All the best to you, Helena
CD's ❤✌️
All you need to do now Ella is stop using "like" every second word.
I'm so glad you are still around as have sent a vip message to your Nokia video 2years back .All I use is YT .Mainly because I do nature , wildlife videos .Plus living in Berlin provides architecture and the worlds best behaved dogs. .Nice to have come across you ..Best wishes from Berlin :-)
Thanks for this.Have seen several postings re this phone and am interested .No wish for a smart phone and the Sony Ericsson I have is ready for retirement .Been round the world with me and worked in Japan and America .++++ .You say the what's ap is no go .Would not use much as have Skype but have friends who do and they don't use Skype .Have read this has a camera .Fact or fiction ? .I see you posted this 2years back but hope this finds you .Thanks Ella and greetings from Berlin :🤗
It does have a camera yes! Thanks for watching
@@EllaCharlotteJones Thank you Ella .We may be years apart but think alike.All the best and stays I you are :- ie ) you. Thanks for answering .
Hi Ella, was this job entry level or did you need experience to obtain the position?
Hey! I had some experience of writing for my university newspaper, and a personal blog, but this was my first full time role out of university 👍🏼
Love your videos and mindset!
Thanking you!!
For scrolling, you could get a figet toy that has that feature on it. Or rolling a ball across the table or something similar.
That’s a great idea!
Hows it going now?
I barely watch any RUclips videos now!
i still don't understand why anyone would use social media.
I been wanting to do this so badly, I get so disgusted with myself doom scrolling waiting time, I removed social media but still just find myself constantly distracted. iPhones are amazing tools but can also be your downfall. I like how you mentioned just using social media on a laptop etc. might try n dumb my iPhone done more until im ready to commit to a flip phone
Let me know how that goes!
I have a Doro candybar phone which is sort of wearing out (I dropped it in a washbasin on a train journey which didn't help). I can see that this phone would give others limited access to me, which is just as I like it. It is small enough to slip into a pocket unlike a big clunky smartphone... Nearly eveyone I know with smartphones have cracked screen glass.
I’m a teenager and I’ve had my smart phone for about 2 years now. I was so excited to get one as my family would always be on theirs as I am the youngest. I promised I would never be addicted and make sure I stayed happy and energetic. People and friends at school all have their phones glued into their faces before and after school. You just want to talk to them but they prioritise whatever is so important on their little screen. I feel I am the only one who realises this danger that will affect you for life. My daily screen time has crept up to around 5hrs daily, and no matter how many times I say I will push it down it creeps up. I am looking into getting a 2720 as I have watched countless positive reviews, but fear of being the odd one out in my friend group. Thank you for your videos about this as it really has helped me to make this hard decision
A 10 feet house? That's tiny!
Wow you’re really beautiful…strava date??😂
I’m married☺️
@@EllaCharlotteJones aww of course you would be! 🫶what a lucky guy he is
