    It's amazing how much more productive you are when you don't use social media. I cut myself off 5 years ago, and I haven't missed it one second. I do like cute dog videos and smart people like you who actually teach good habits and make watching worthwhile. Thanks Izzy...I think you're awesome!

    Maybe being proactive with that the replacement behavior will be could help. It is hard to end a habit without replacing it with some action. Lately I try to open pinterest and do art studies or open language learning app and study Spanish. I also took the free time to reevaluate my goals in life and how I can get there with the free time. I have been leaving my charger at home so I am encouraged to not scroll mindlessly on my phone during the day. I keep a car charger so I am never lost.

    Hi Izzy, thank you for your helpful insights. I have relied upon meditation for many years to cope with depression, hypertension as well as just general healing of the mind.(It really works.). I just wish that more people would truly use as part of their daily lives. As you know, psychiatric services are not easily accesible by many and we're seeing more mental disorders after the Covid epidemic. Keep up the encouragement and further promotion of mediatation and mindfulness. It will help many people who need mental health services.❤

    Izzy, I'm a new subscriber and I hope you'll see this comment because you are one of the most impressive people I've ever encountered on the internet. I am awed that you are a qualified doctor in YOUR MID TWENTIES! To get a sniff of a chance of just an interview at medical school (Cambridge no less!) requires a knowledge of maths, biology and chemistry far beyond what most people possess. You will have memorised many thick medical textbooks, passed tremendously difficult exams, and you do what must be a hugely demanding and stressful job.
    You somehow also have the time to learn other languages, practice yoga, read, sing and play guitar, and presumably have a social life in there somewhere.
    I can't imagine how you find time to eat/sleep/blink etc!
    Best wishes, from someone more than a decade older and far less intelligent and accomplished. P.S. My apologies for sounding so unctuous!

    @fr5363 Год назад +16

    I saw the initial introduction of the smartphone and social media from a perspective where I personally never got "involved". I've since then found it curious to try and figure out what sort of activities were going on on such platforms, and how these technologies are used. The idea that most people just stare down into their phones suddenly just appeared as a cultural phenomenon and I can't say from where it came. Everyone were suddenly just into this new thing - and they knew so much about it.
    Ever since, people speak of how much time it takes and how social media has become a form of addiction. At the same time, so many people are seemingly... doing so many things, and keeping up what they refer to as a busy schedule. In my mind, it just doesn't add up; if they are all so busy, where do these supposed hours they waste come from? I've found this question perplexing for the last few years. In your case for instance, how is it at all possible for you to have had time to familiarise yourself with such a habit, given how much time has been spent on studies and a variety of other tasks? Where do these hours come from? I am genuinely confused, and I suspect I could have been asking a similar question to a lot of people in a similar kind of situation.
    As for the video itself, I don't necessarily think I am the main audience for these tips, but I do suspect that they could be highly beneficial for many of these people who are caught in the habit.

And I’ve been wanting to break this addiction, so I’ll definitely try out these tips. I guess my phone addiction is part of this, but my sleep schedule is completely messed up. Do you have any tips on things I could do to fix it so I could go back to a more normal sleep schedule?

    If I'm not gonna use an app at least once a day, I just don't have it on my phone. No notifications, mostly just native iPhone apps, it's become a much more utility based experience vs hobby/obsession.
    Also the greyscale idea is nice but as an old cinema/noir fan I find it just as alluring lol
