Its been 3 years since i started prep and left my average job for it,my father retired in 2020. Then started prep while staying at home and then phone addiction started from 2nd wave lockdown. And still haven't covered Laxmikant for once, it started from prep related scrolling to mindless scrolling and gaming, tried all possible methods to overcome it but I am now addicted with short attention span(took 1 month to cover Indian constitution at work, merely 2 days enough to complete). Now I actually understand what alcohol and other addict go through. Now I am 29 with gap in my career, still at beginner level with 2 attempts left 2024,25(and we know minimum 1.5 years of study req. even after that clearing exam is a different game) and have appeared once only(can't appear 32 age attempt bcz of my DOB- upsc exclude people born before august). Many may laugh reading this, I stand and see me getting Destroyed but I hope it will help and make few aware how bad can phone addiction and procrastination can go and never let it grow over you. All the best to aspirants.
phone addiction sbse danger hai
hello mate. I cannot imagine how you must be feeling. But I very well understand what addiction can do to you. did you try selling your phone and shift to the keypad wala phone? it worked for me.
Same here, you're not alone 🙏
Same situation😢
It's okay... Modern world isn't designed according to our human evolution. It's tough to do hard work don't be sad
I finally studied today for 10 hours ( talking about the quality) after like really really long time...Last it was ig in 2022.. almost a year..After watching your video I actually realised what I was doing to myself...Thank you so much for being such an awesome mentor sir..I am not preparing for UPSC though,but still I get highly motivated with what all you say..Keep us guiding Sir...🙏🙏🙏
🔥🔥 That's Greatt ...
I'm too starting now...
I last studied for 10 hrs many months ago But I want to get back to it anyhow ...
@@JEEtard977 jee 2024 ??
Study smart not hard lol, 2 hours of pure concentration over 12 hours of distracted work...
@whitepirate4098 I agree with the importance of studying smart...but that doesn't mean one should compromise with the quality of study....Like I said in my comment before...the hours of study i mentioned was in terms of quality....and one must always choose quality over quantity..
@@whitepirate4098just 2 hrs 😮 aise toh syllabus bhi na hoga revision practice kab krenge exam kya 2 saal baad de
I've never seen someone telling on RUclips " it doesn't matter if you unsubscribe my channel" you've the guts to say this bruh hat's off to you and last of Thanks won't be enough for what have you done for the aspirants like us keep it up 👍👍
And I came here exactly 19 hours later without using RUclips I did it 🥺🥺🥺Thank you mate 😌😌😌😌
it doesn't matter, it's just not that deep
ab wo bolega ye maine tumpe reverse psychology use ki taaki mai aur trustworthy ban jau, blowed your mind xddddddDd
Thats a kind of manipulation u got trapped in😂
It is new ninja technique to gain subscribers
Main points:
Changing Environment for Social Media Reduction:
- Identify patterns and create barriers.
- Delete apps, use browser, turn off notifications.
- Use apps like Forest for focus.
- Set boundaries and limit night phone usage.
This is literally needed so much…thank you for highlighting this problem and giving the solutions!! My mom is in the education sector and she’s starting to observe massive issues in students’ behaviour because they are not even able to focus on 25 minute lectures,as the periods in school were changed from 50 minutes to 25 minutes because the students were unable to focus…it is BaD.
Bro also talk about p*rn addiction... I got addicted in 8 class when some harmai showed be a video i got curious he took 50 rs from me and filled my pendrive with the "STOCK" of difference categories..
even i advised a lot of people jub bhi siucidee ka thought aaye por* dekh lenna uppar ka sara tannav necche aa jayega aur phir tum marne ki nhi maaarne ki sochoge . now I regret it
since then I tried too hard and so many times but couldn't get rid of it.. whenever I get hold of Little privacy all I think about is whacking my meat 💦.. now I don't even enjoy it I just do it for the sake of doing to get rid of the urge so i don't more time thinkin about it

@@kishor.k8092 first half of your comment is so relatable.🤣😭
@@kishor.k8092 Bro to dusre ke comments ke niche comment me ye batana jaruri hai 😂
@THE ZOLDICS absolutely same thoughts. I really really wants actions taken ASAP on this issue 😭 it’s actually destroying our whole country
Challenge accepted... i am a YT addict ... i have left using social media a long time back but i spend hours on YT on watching videos how to be efficient and i do watch them but eventually i go to some other video and spend 2-3 hrs like this.... (all this i do during my study hours) .... even at night this is the case.... tomorrow DR SHIVIN i will come back and edit this comment to tell you if i passed it or not .... THANK YOU SO MUCHH :)
I was skeptical about it but i did it.... At night it got a bit hard but i realised how much i hours i spend at night so from now i will start studing even at nightt...
Same here 😢
Same here
@@manavmane1388glad to know that.
And he never came😂
This video was a true reflection of what we are doing wrong without recognising the very fact . I felt it personally as well that when i use social media/ youtube without any purpose , i feel guilty of using it & wasting my time . And when i switch off the phone & study hard , meeting targets - i feel more productive. So let's begin the journey from being guilty to being productive. No dopemine shots required any longer .
The way he told us we're better was also a trap he had put just to keep us watching with dopamine and then get out of the phone trap
💀 bro I hear it at the end , I did the comment already, I know I was being tricked were all being tricked and we are getting tricked intentionally even after knowing were tricked , we're all fucked up guys , Let's get better now!!!!!!
Sir, I did the things mentioned in the video and added a bit more task from my side. Literally completed the things I would have procrastinated for months in matter of 4 to 5 hours. Recently we had internal exams so my momentum was set. This video is a catalyst. Deleted my apps and did not touch RUclips until now. I kind of feel guilty now even to use any other distracting app or ways. I just want to read everything. Thank u so much. The fact about using phone at night after studies was actually the hidden cause of my insomnia. Since last week, I feel sleepy like a drunk person sharp at 9 30 pm and sleep. No more sleeplessness at night and guilt in the morning for wasting my time on screen. Thank u sir.
Great!
Hello dr. shivin
I feel super proud of myself i didnt use any social media for the whole day .changed location of yt and telegram immediately. And revised most part of geography and part of economy current affairs gave sectional test of polity and geography
This dopamine (satisfaction) is far better than that mindless random scrolling. Thank you
This was SO SO HELPFUL. You made me come back to my senses. Even thanking you a ton would be less, but you surely made an impact on my life. This vid was literally needed in this era. I just became a 12th grader, and this was what i probaly needed but ignored. I am surely going to implement it. 🙌❤
This really worked for me.
Not regularly checking out social media apps greatly helped me to focus on my studies.
Thanks a lot for putting light on this topic!🙏
So true!! Each of the dopamine patterns you have described exactly happens with me. The worst one being using phone in the morning and wasting entire day😢
I am so glad you addressed this.. I was already doing these things but by hit and try methods I didn’t know the biology in detail behind it. But I was an addict during COVID 2020 times when I was in college but since 2022 I have achieved this ‘do the heavy task and then reward your brain’ stage. I hope people benefit from this. ALSO a tip for anyone struggling try to bore yourself if you can’t study but don’t pick up your phone.
A drop year JEE Aspirant here. I realised this happening to me a few months ago and slowing started to cut off Instagram and Snapchat first and then RUclips shorts. What people don't realise is that despite having xxxx amount of followers or friends a lot of these people don't even care about you. At the end when I did completely stop using my social media accounts I realised I had only 3 people other than my family who cared about my wellbeing. Plus also a lot of my 'friends' who also took a drop year weren't taking it seriously and honestly this entire thing forced me to surround myself with better people who had same goals as me. Been using these dopamine detox tips since the last 3-4 months and my attention span has increased so much and short form content irritates me atp 😂 SO for all the people who are trying to cure this addiction, keep going and don't lose hope!!
Same Bhai what's next? Will u start preparing for upsc? Or will take second drop?? Give me ur telegram
@@Canvas2.000 Nah man, this year is my 1st drop for JEE so gonna be focusing on that. I'm not a UPSC aspirant haha :D
Thank you!!
Thank you so much Sir, i didn't open any social media for one day and it's blowing my mind that i did more work in one day than i did the past two months. It's crazy how much of an effect social media had on me. Even though i knew somewhere that i was addicted to using my phone but seeing it first hand was scary af. I felt this constant urge to open my phone and check social media but at then end of the day I felt 100× better that i resisted it. So, i am committed on overcoming this addiction now and it's all thanks to you! I am eternally grateful to you. Thank you :)
I really appreciate your scientific approach towards every problem sir, it amazes me to know how strongly you can relate with us, saying random things that we all can relate ( I was literally smiling coz i could relate with those things) thank you for this solution, I'm late in watching this but it's worth it.. Also, you're not any random person who tells us something, you're our best mentor 💯🙏🏻 I'm glad I subscribed to you ( I forever will subscribe for anything you are doing) Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
13:42 Hmmm thats the reason why i feel good after a good workout session
Thank God, I somehow came across your video. I was facing this issue a lot and got a very informative content. Your Channel is Gold. Congratulations on Your Rank and Selection.
day 2 - did youtube for 20 mins and i am honest in this .... this is difficult DOC ! but i will do this detox whole month
Whenever any issues arises in my upsc journey his video pops up giving the solution to that exact issue 😂 (this is I am telling from the bottom of my heart ❤️)
😂
Thank you so much sir for addressing the issue I wasted two hours this morning feeling very low since then.. Even though I consciously know I'm getting addicted I am not able to stop scrolling shorts and this is the second time I'm stuck in this vicious cycle , but after watching this video I promise to myself that I would make every effort to end this addiction from today and now onwards .... Thank you so much sir for being there with the students .
May god bless you with great success that you yearn for in the years to come.
This is probably the best video I've ever seen. Thanks for showing me the way :)
Great video....your appreciation of those who reached a certain level is also a certain shot of dopamine for the audience .....thanks !
Word to word everything you said is 💯 correct and relatable . Will implement this challenge and will come back in comments 🎉
I didn't watch this video coz I'm addicted to my phone or something. As I've already identified my pre-addictive stage and now I'm practising to control it. The reason I clicked on this video is the impact that you have created. I knew even before watching this that I will definitely get some new concept. And I must say you never disappoint your viewers. Thanks for the concept of 'neuroplasticity' and 'relationship between pleasure and pain'. Thank you once again.🙏
So much insightful. Yes, I have addiction. I overcame some addictions, so I am sure I overcome this too.
Had this in my watch later for more than a month. Glad I watched it :)
I completed the task! Not opened YT until now since yesterday. Thank you ❤️
This is just wow, thank you so much! I'm proud of myself that I don't fall into a lot of categories but still it was great to dig deeper into neuroscience with you. Hope you share some more neuroscientific aspects of our human body from your experience and knowledge in Medical Science. Keep Smiling! :)❤️
love! love! love!! 💌
thank you so much Shivin!!❣
9:22 "this happens even with the hardwork". 😌
Thankyou for this video. I wasn't able to understand how i am not able to study after using my phone in the morning. This video showed up at the most appropriate time.
You are doing God's work Dr Shivin! I am really thankful to have found your channel❤ Achieve great things in life, you🧿
Just saw the video and let me truly share that I am, from last one week practicing this, opened my youtube for an hour only on Sundays and all the social media apps are deleted. I have never ever felt this productive. I already completed so many things which used to be due for months. I hope people start doing it because it's just so needed.
I'm usually a silent viewer. You're very helpful. And your content is like some good valuable company for someone dealing with the loneliness that is complimentary in this journey.
The first step which I took after watching this video is deleting Instagram and Facebook but I don't use it much but the lesson I got from this will be definitly implimented in my life.
I'm a phone addict, my screen time is 9-11hrs without any educational use. I really needed this. Thank you so much sir really appreciate it. I will not use YT & Insta for the rest of the day & open it tomorrow for a comment.
There is a one question. How do i reward myself, how i use dopamine to my advantage?
Do physical exercise and go for morning walk without phone.
use Phone as a reward system only, After working for 6 hrs, Give that your time for 30 minutes as a reward, Or Do some other activities which you enjoy
It's been 3 months how are you doing now?
we need people like you , thank you so much sir
Literally the best video I have found till now !!!! Thanks a lot 🙏....the way you explained the whole thing and explained the whole point of the video at last was just awesome !!
wow.!! this is similar to behaviourist approch of educational psychology. Thank you i really did my tasks a little better today.
Thanks a ton.. Can't relate more to anything ... All u said was soo relatable and soo mch needed.... Pls keep up the great work.. Our technologically advanced generation needs people like u... Thanks once again.. God bless ya 🎉❤
I'm so glad you made this video. It was much needed💖
A much needed video. Thank You Brother !
- Bhushan
You've been a blessing in disguise, when I really needed it to reach me and pull me out of the darkest pits of social media had pushed me into . Thank you so much sir ❤
I did it👍..Thank you so much for being there for us🤝
This might be just a normal video for some people, but for me it was no less than an eye opener. I have my CA Foundation exams after 28 days. I'm not well prepared. I know it but I'm still mindlessly scrolling youtube and searching any random things which can be of no use to anyone on earth. Fortunately, I found this video at around 11:55 PM after wasting the entire day on phone. I promise myself that I'll not let myself do injustice with future self anymore. I apologise for what I did. No matter whatever it takes, I'll give my 100% now. Thankyou So Much to the creator of this video. I don't have words to express how thankful I am to you... I'm Taking up arms and am Ready for the battle.
I hope we all should do such things. Training our minds is the only way to survive in this peculiar modern world of absurdity. Human brain, cognitive function are very important for our species. I thank people like you who use this platform in the best possible way selling the most authentic product. More power to you
He is a real interpreter he used the word congratulations to make us realise happiness and rewarding
You're doing good in a very clever way
Profit + helping
Great man✊
Nice man! Really impressive👍
First time, I watched any video of this channel and I can understand how preparation of UPSC make a person rational and logical.
too good video
insightful and much needed for students like me.
This is true enlightenment. I AM VERY OBLIGED BY YOUR WORDS SIR. YOU ARE GOD. YOU ARE A TRUE HERO AND DESERVE MORE RESPECT. And, I am saying all of this, not because of pure excitement after watching the video, but because of the effects of implementing the things that you have said Sir, and how they are going to affect me, throughout the rest of my life. I AM READY TO EMBRACE THE CHANGE. THANK YOU SIR and I hope I can meet you Sir in person after I grow up, at a certain point of my life. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
ALSO, Jai Hind, Jai Bharat. All hail India 🇮🇳.
day 4 - i have realised it wont be a easy task and i have to remind myself of the importance of mental health ... 20 mins and this scrolling was not even desired. wish me luck DOC!
Just discovered you todday on result day. Great work champ. Thanks for everything 😊
Hey stranger! I feel motivated enough to follow your instructions blindly, even if you won't be able to witness my grit to accomplish these little steps and live the magic it would create. Thank you.
I have been doing this for the past 2 days and the results are far better than before. Thank you so much ❤

Difficult things make u feel better
I had done this for 7 months almost but after a girl distracted me now I am completely confident again to do that stuff i have removed her , it's time to make our parents happy
Thank you so much, it really did change me from addictions, I used to see videos to make myself concentrate on my studies but helped me less. your way of explaining! made me understand how time-consuming it can be to spoil precious time.
One of those videos where i will comment and appreciate the efforts and way of presenting of a creator.. great analysis brother...
Sir ur congratulations in video itself infuses dopamine 😊 ...a big thank you for ur efforts and guidance!!! I hope to implement the methods n tricks suggested by u...please keep on making videos on the issues for which we as aspirants really feel stuck in... Your videos are really motivating and guide in a right direction ! ❤thank you sir !
Thank you so much for talking about this .I don't have any social media app not even you tube as I am using browser .Whenever I have to watch some educational video I download it on my tab and I have told my brother to keep a check on me so that I am not on you tube scrolling random videos.
I did it kl tumhari video dekhne ke bad for Maine you tube nhi khola aur aj agle din RUclips open kr rhi ho
Sir, immense respect for you. Thank you so much
🇮🇳 I always like ur scientific approach...
I still have to say one more thing...the permanent solution to all these issues is conscious decision...the person with full awareness of himself and surrounding... the person who meditates inward out 🧘...
It's not that a guide said no RUclips u do it for his or challenge sake ... Neither it's for just disagreement...but it should be the conscious decision.... taking cognizance of what's imp and what matters...
Kuddos to your videos ...i really think u can be more than UPSC teacher or IAS... I hope to see u as a great leader 🙏
p.s: kept an emoji on the front line for attention 😅
I will try to implement. Thank you for the information & I will comment again when I implement it. Then get the pleasure of the hard work, studying and not checking the phone. Once again, thank for your kind information. 🙏🏼
What a clarity sir in every video of yours.
thank you thats all i have to say you have left my mind blown with your use of dopamine so that we would watch your video till end but i think and im sure you did it for our good i would tell anybody here social media has 4 sides 90% all fun n and game 9% serious people 0.99% showing you ways to get better in life 0.1%showing you the problems u have and trying to cure the them
I kept my phone aside at night yesterday... And now I started using it to comment about the progress as you mentioned in the video....the entire day I used a keypad phone... So today entirely I remained without a smartphone.... Just came here to mention about my progress.... 👍👍👍
Thank you Dr. And I am not a upsc aspirant I am just a 15 year old teenager who's exams are reaching and I am not that much addict to my phone but I just don't want to get addicted and I want to get addicted to my passion not my distraction..... I have watched the whole video and it helps too much.... Thank you so much.. 😃😃✨🌼🌼🌼
- Avni sarbhai. 😃
THANK YOU DR. SHIVIN .its been 7 days I opened youtube on my phone. i am using yt on laptop , that too when you post about new video in telegram. i had tried rearrangement earlier but was somehow tempted to open again. This time I was like nooo. i am stronger than my temptation for immediate gratification and instant dopamine. and that helped in my productivity very much. thank you again.sooooo grateful for the work you do.
Needed this so much!
I did one thing you mentioned in the video.stopped using instagram,fb.left for it for browsing.aur ab aisa ho gya ki man hi ni krta ye sab open krne ka even through browser. The last thing actually blowed my mind.Thank you.not using youtube for the rest of the day.Thank you
Although I'm late here, this doesn't stope me from appreciating you. Believe me you're not a random person, you've helped so many people with your wisdom. You're an extremely good orator. Please keep up the good work.
Woah...I really didn't expect to watch the whole video in one shot..... watching shorts on yt has made my attention span very bad ...so I thought I'll quit soon .....but the 24 damn 24 MINUTES felt like only few minutes .... I'm amazed with this too what u said is really so true...even a random people calling u special causes such a great production of dopamine 👍...keep up the good work..
And yeah I'm gonna stop yt for today :)
Congratulation sir💓💓
Don't use any social media they are only useless things. 13:22 😊
Yesterday i watched this video - 1.30 PM approx.
I controlled myself for next 24 hour it was not easy but it help alot. I get much more time to revise and learn.
In last 24 hours my screen time was just 15 min bcz of calling to parents.
Thanks you so much sir. 😊
Like me many more have an idea of this problem and solution too but where we lack is the implementation of the solution, I know many people who just watched this video telling in their mind that yes they're facing the same problem will forget next morning or until clicking on next video , Just want to say be the controller of your mind don't let anything or anyone drive you somewhere else away from your Goals , Parents are the biggest motivation you need to make your and their life happy too. All the Best to those who genuinely try to end their addiction. Thank you Shivin bhaiya your approach to any problem (Social or educational) is what I like very much.
Probably, this is the best video of RUclips of the year 2023 for students!!!
Last few years I’m trying to quit this phone addiction, but because of inconsistency I have failed many times. But turning off notifications is really tricky here, as in this phase it actually had an reverse effect as i used to open my phone severally time to see if there is any message or not. Just a thing i wanted to share. I hope you get rid of your phone addiction
Bro your knowledge and wisdom is exceptional ❤ i like the way you used the rewarding algorithm and that pushes many to watch the hole video 😊😊
I did it. Watched your video yesterday, and here I am after solving a math paper and have come on RUclips to clear my doubts. Thank you for providing me valuable knowledge.
Thank you sir, I hope I'll be able to overcome my phone addiction with this roadmap now!!
Shivin bhaiya please make a video on mains test series .
you will be in top 50 AIR UPSC 2022 .your commitment towards the community will definitely pay off ❤
Result coming on 22 may
This video was awesome.into the first 5-7 minutes video of the video,i realised you are trying to give a reward for people watching the video. As I have read in the book atomic habits "what is immediately rewarded is repeated and what is immediately punished is avoided".
This method u used make me realise the power of rewards.
Thankyou so much.
literally, the best video on dopamine I've seen so far!!!
Thank you so much ,you put your heart into this video ,I watched till the end
That's what I needed from my mentor, my brother
Love from Tripura ❣️
Are you a magician sir!??? You literally read my mind 😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯..and yes you blew my mind!!! Such a amazing session it was..i am going to implement it from now..!!
U r video was wonderful. May God bless u for awakening so many people. Thanks
I did it . Heavy withdrawal signs , wanted to use it all the time , but didn't open RUclips / any other social media platforms until today. Significantly improved my time for other things throughout the day , Hoping to do it consistently. Thanx a lot !
This video must be very helpful to almost everyone who are struggling with concentrating well on the task in hand. I’m saying so because this video gave me flashbacks of a few podcasts by Andrew Huberman & Lex Fridman. Also, I’m sorry but I have to watch another video on RUclips after this- Ted Talk because I have listed it on my RUclips watchlist for today. But, after that I’m definitely going to read a book.
You're the best!! 😊
I did as you said and now I'm here to thank you.
I have never seen such video sir..... Thank you so much for explaining scientifically ❤ thank you so much sir !!!
Yesterday night I watched video one EPFO AND in the morning there lot of EPFO coaching advertisement on my RUclips home page 😅😅😅 this is how they are taking our attention......true sir ❤❤❤❤
Thank you sir!
It's simple operant conditioning. Behaviour is repeated coz of reinforcement . Currently, most of us use phones just coz it helps us to escape d examination ANXIETY n this relief is reinforcing our phone addiction. But this defence mechanism is just quick fix solution
Solution - 1) punishment - operant conditioning is based on rewards n punishments. So whenever you pick up ur phone know d consequences - wastage of time ,etc. It would simply decrease ur phone usage time
2) anxiety - watch shivin sir's video on anxiety ,it's given there
Remainder - be kind to urself during upsc cse prep 🌻
Wonderful video 👏. Very detailed explanation 👍
You are the only person I ever seen on RUclips who really help in this prepration thank you sir.❤
