    In this video, we're discussing one of the most common forms of addiction and how nobody talks about it. We believe that addiction is a topic that needs to be talked about more, because it's a serious issue that affects a lot of people.

    Scary stuff, and I don't really need studies to know these effects. I didn't get a legit smartphone until late 2017, and thinking about it, that time really marked a dropoff for my general well being.
    - poor concentration
    - lower motivation
    - feeling of being disconnected from surroundings
    - feeling of days flying by without really "taking them in"
    - emotionally more numb
    Definitely gotta make some big changes, and I'm definitely not alone.

    If you have an addiction, the easiest way to get over it is to deprive your brain from an opportunity itself, because its the resistance to an opportunity that makes it so much harder to quit an addiction. For eg: If you are in your study room just leave your smartphone outside so that your brain wouldn't have to work hard to resist the urge to pick it up and eventually forget about it by focusing on the task at hand.
    What I'm trying to say is that rob yourself off that stimuli instead of putting it right in front and having hard time to fight the urges

    The thing is , I need a device to research and watch videos doing creative things for my detox aaand a few hours later I'm back to scrolling.
    Edit: I found a solution, it's just keeping yourself busy with going outside lol simple as that. Don't have time to use your phone and then you stop using it much.

    I had a smartphone since 2016 when I started high school. However unlike today, my teachers would call people out for using their phones in class, and the general environment in my classes were “pay attention or pretend to”. Since starting university, no body cared when or how much u used your phone anymore. U starting using it more and more overtime, maybe to compensate for difficulties u come across or whatever. Soon the cycle becomes perpetual, worsening ur work ethic, increasing ur life problems, intensifying dependency, etc. Becoming aware of this unspoken addiction is already a huge step in reclaiming ur true self.

      you don't need a detox. You need to stop checking video. Not complicated. Just stop. You will feel inconfortable for 48 hrs, and replace by others things: physical book or e-reader ( not on ipad) movies, ( a movies app only) music ( how long you didn't really listen deeply an ALBUM, not a playlist, an album?), exercise, yoga, learn a language. Only thing autorized: podcast. No news. At all.

    One example to use for how effective this can be is Jorge Masvidal. He went on some reality show where he was forced to be on an island without phones, technology, social media, etc. and when he came back he became a superstar with back to back to back victories. He said he was forced to look at himself and his career and went from playing it safe to always looking for the finish.

    I only clicked on this video to write this comment. Do yourselves a favor and completeley remove all social media including RUclips for at least 30 days. Or, if you want to go extreme like me, no TV, no music, no technology at all, except when working (only work, notiing else). In those 30 days spend your time outside and get as much sunlight as possible, fill in the time to reconnect with yourself and others. You'll be amazed!
    Note: when you go back to technology, you'll notice how insignificant everything on social media actually is and it will be much easier for you to stay away from it.

    Heyy!!
    I am struggling to maintain focus while listening to you in this video!
    You are speaking too fast. Your tempo is fine. But you are not talking breaks between sentences. Whenever you end speaking the sentence and there’s a full stop expected, my brain also expects a gap. But you start speaking again almost immediately.
    This makes it “too much information” to process and the brain just stops processing it.
    I think it’s your editor’s fault. It seems while editing they’re jump cutting the audio to save a few seconds but that is creating a problem.
    The time gap between to sentences is next to negligible.
    I suggest to increase the gap a bit so that we, the listeners, can absorb the information as well and not just hear the noise.
    Thanks for the videos though. Been a big fan from the beginning itself.❤
