Phone addiction. Is it real?
The average person spends more than 24 hours per week on their phones. Younger millennials and generation Z spend 5 hours or more per day using their devices.
Now, don’t get me wrong, phones have many valuable and indispensable attributes. The purpose of this endeavor was to spend less time in the virtual world and more time in the real world.

(trust me, it works)
Heres another idea I thought of. Not sure if this will help but Im going to try it as an experiment at least.
Delete the facebook and youtube apps from your phone. It discourages you from having an easy way to check it often; it forces you to use your browser. XD
How to cure phone addiction
step 1 : Buy a PC
step 2 : Get addicted to your PC instead
It works very well on me
lmao
Samee
That is exactly my problem!!!
I cured my tweeting addiction by switching to RUclips 😌
IM ON PC AND AN ADDICT TO IT
Who else watched this video on their phone...?

You’re his bro? Your last name are the same
Genuine question. Who's channel would be considered more (financially and in general) sustainable? Your channel requires constantly buying new technology, but at the same time is never outdated. Nate's channel on the other hand doesn't require buying anything, but sometimes topics get fairly repetitive and have been done before.
like he said in the beginning "Don't get me wrong, phones have plenty of uses"
You see THAT is where the problem lies, productivity and distraction exist on the same device!!
perfectly said
facts
Exactly...
how do i take just the benefits?
@@kota975 just be disciplined enough
It’s wild that something can be so helpful and so harmful at the same time
I need to stop justifying my RUclips addiction by saying it´s educational or valuable and so on.. I´m an addict!
Same here, friend!
@@noahrodriguez Watchholics non-anonymous
Saaaaame!
Word
same, I’ve deviated from Instagram and Snapchat and am now addicted to RUclips, with the occasional Twitter binge
The fact that he had “only” 6 hours of screen time a day and talks about addiction made me realize that I really do have a problem lmao
Same. Quarantine had me 12h on my phone a few days. That made realize how much this is out of control. I've managed to reduce it to about 6-7h a days and I'm reading books, but I still have a long way to go.
Iasmim M. That progress is amazing! I’m working on it too, and trying to use more of my time to study, Let’s do this 🙌🏼
i have 5 h 38 m daily average on my phone and 4h 53m on my ipad
@@sagerenard2755 same
I only have 2 hours screentime on my phone but additionally 2 hours on my computer and another 2 hours on my TV and Tablet combined. However, on my computer I do only important stuff
Here is how I did it:
1. Charge your phone overnight to get it to 100%
2. When you wake up unplug it
3. That's all the charge you get for the day, no recharge. You have to use it wisely, once its dead it's dead for the day.
4. When you go to bed repeat the cycle
After a while it really does show a difference :)
Edit: some people are saying they have a big battery, then I suggest doing this over a week, like not charging your phone other than on Saturday nights.
That would be great if my phone didn't have the worst battery life possible. It dies within 2 hours of minimal usage
Chris Wyatt Jeez. Yeah that wouldnt work 😂
Lmao I have a 5000mAh battery wich last for 12 hours
good luck with that
It will damage your phone. A reform I would suggest is to charge of in the early morning. You wouldn't be able to use it in the morning
Well mine lasts for 2 days, so it's not a god idea
I literally use my phone 14-15 hours per day. My grades are just dropping like crazy from like 98s to 80s. I wanna stop but I'm just too dependent on it cuz it's kinda my way of coping with my ugly mental health.
It may be part of the reason for your “ugly mental health”. My mental health is bad, I use my phone to cope and it makes my mental health worse. But, here I am preaching to you, whilst on my phone and have been for many hours today and every day. It really is an addiction.
@@Simon1985_ it is part of the reason. It's like a cycle that keeps going on and on. I use my phone excessively, miss out on everything and waste all my time, feel terrible about it, and still use my phone to make me feel better.
@@_kuraaiii couldnt agree more with you, i fell the same
Jeez I really want help. I was one of those decent straight kids with no phone addiction at night and now I'm literally using my phone at night for like 3 hour then sleeping it's 2am now and I have bags under my eyes I'm too addicted I can't stop.
don't lie just to have replys man
I'm watching this on my phone while taking a shit. I've delayed the wiping by atleast 10 minutes. Both of my feet have fallen asleep and i know the terror that awaits me when i finally stand up and walk on these sleeping log stumps
Rest in peace
i feel your pain brotha
Gud shit
ChaosVII omg same
What a mood
I remember only charging my phone once a week when I was a kid. Nowadays, I have to charge every single day💀
every 4 hour, how about that??
@@huronboow2497 😊😊
Imagine having a phone as a kid 😂😂. Must’ve been nice
@@huronboow2497 same. Now that I'm stuck at home I spend every minute of my day on here. I kinda want to stop but I also don't want to leave my room to interact with my mom and her bf. I don't want to be here so I distract myself with youtube
Maybe l should do that? Like a challenge that l can charge my phone once or twice a day HMMMMM
You call 5 hours a day addiction, I call it a morning routine
@mjav Trying my best, luckily I’m starting my military service in five days
no fr😭😭
True, I'm here cause the last few days have been a good 12h screen time for me🤡
@@alorena_02 five and a half days in military, my average of the week is 3h 22min
Then you're extremely addicted and probably very unhealthy, Namae, sorry to say. After all, if they cell phone tower went down and you couldn't use your phone, what would you do? Would you have an anxiety attack?
It's amazing how addictive smartphones are. The other day I forgot mine at home and it drove me nuts. We've become a society where attention deficit disorder has become a learned behaviour and not just an issue some people are born with. Great video 🥺☘️
Actuqlly ita not amazing, telco/ phone/ apps companies purposely market it this way on purpose, they hire psychologists to help them in their marketing strategy just like how fast food chains do
@@despina2898 Phone increase has absolutely caused major attention deficit disorder to people these days there are studies about it, it's not a debate. No one mentioned ADHD specifically, but in my case I originally had ADHD and it went from something mildly inconvenient to literally destroying my life. Phone addiction does shorten attention span :(
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 4 and I agree when I got my iPad when I was younger it made it so much worse. It’s all about being over stimulated and all the bright colours on the screen gave me serotonin so when it got taken away I would freakkkkk out because all my “happiness” was gone.
Yea its always refreshing when my phone breaks and I need a new one. That brief period of not having one does feel kinda good
I go jogging and the gym without a phone.
I am planning to go out on the weekend to the grocery store and back without a phone, and slowly work away the panic of being phone free, and incrementally see how far I can get away with it.
Is my new game.
“How I cured my phone addiction”
*watching on my phone at 4:30 am*
Literally same like it's legit 4:25 rn
It's 1:15 am rn for me😓😰
same here it's 2:45😥
1:12 for me
5.45
*5 things that helped me:*
1: Delete social media accounts and apps that serve no purpose other than zombie mode entertainment.
2: Turn off vibrations, noises and notifications. If it is something really important, the person who needs you will just call you.
3: Ask yourself; "What could I be doing right now that would be a better way to spend my time, with more meaning, and that I enjoy?".
4: Buy a watch. Seriously. Dewit.
5: Don't use your phone within 1 hour after you've waken up, and don't use your phone within 1 hour before bed.
Simply sell your smartphone and buy a landline phone or a phone which only works for calling.
Dynestis 😲
Erika ;o
Why sholdn't I use my one within 1 hour after waking up?
I agree with everything except for number 2. My job and school communicate with us through email. Waking up to your class cancelled is the best feeling
It would be so helpful if Instagram would make the "recommended for you page" an optional feature. Because I love the idea of following my friends and seeing what they're up to. But I don't want to look at random content, I just end up scrolling endlessly watching medium entertaining things.
actually you can make your friends account your "favorite" and only scroll through the "favorite" section on instagram. you can also click on the "following" section and only scroll through posts of account you follow. besides idk if you were talking about those random recommended posts that show on your front page of accounts you dont follow, but if you were, you can click on the 3 dots and deactivate that feature for a month. hope that helped :)
@@prettyace99 mhh not really because i was talking about the page "next to" the page with the pictures of the accounts you follow. the one with the magnifying glass :D i think it's called "explore" page
@@faeylin3010 ahh like that! i see i see haha
these platforms are purposefully built to get you addicted, it shouldn't be okay or normal for them to be like that but it makes sense that we are struggling.
I faced my phone addiction head-on without planning to. About a month ago, my phone broke, and then I shelled out my entire paycheck for a new iPhone 12, only for it to be stolen. At first, I was furious and felt like I could not get anything done without it. I eventually got my old phone to work again, but this time, I decided to see what would happen if I decided not to re-download my social media apps. It's only been about a week, but I have already felt a massive difference in my productivity, social life, and mental health. I am honestly so grateful that I had all of those issues with my phone. It took not having any phone at all to realize that I can survive and thrive without constantly checking my phone all day. And on top of that, I also realized that I was never happier with the newest phone, it was pretty and shiny, but it is just a phone.
God bless you
That’s a blessing bro.
if youtube starts charging a fee, more than half of the addicts will be cured.
Yup :'(
I would be gone in a heartbeat
It's just that some videos are helpful and teach you stuff. Like besides just Bing-watching random videos for hours, I'm also using RUclips for more creative stuff like learning guitar. That's a big reason why I'm resistant about just throwing away the whole app :/
There’s already a fee, it’s called RUclips red
People will move to Vimeo...? :P
RUclips is showing me how to stop the addiction, I wouldnt have without RUclips.
Paradoxal world
IT'S A TRAP
This is where the problem starts
Same! I feel dumb sometimes because I love this type of content.
Every minute I go over the screen time limit on my phone is a dollar I have to deposit into my savings account. Works pretty well for me.
Great idea!
OMG i need to try this
Seems counterproductive…you are paying yourself…now if you had to pay someone else that MIGHT work…
One thing I've found to be really helpful is treating my phone somewhat like a landline. When I work from home, I keep my phone essentially docked in one location. I find that the physical space between my phone and myself creates mental space for resisting the knee jerk habit of always checking the phone. Initially, this was pretty hard to do but I created a few automations on Apple Shortcuts that would detect when I had moved my phone and give me a subtle nudge to place it back. I've found that overall I just feel more peaceful with the physical distance.
haven't heard this tip beforw but it sounds great. Though it seems to be that it woulf
be hard because i have this need to
check my phone all the time
i have somewhat of a similar thing where i keep my phone in my cupboard and close the cupboard so my laziness can be used as an advantage... if i NEED to use my device i will get up and stand near the cupboard while using it so i don't get distracted and easily spend too much time on the phone... it's actually pretty good lol
only issue is to convince myself not to take the phone back to my work desk 😭
@@aster7482 Land lines work great, especially corded ones. You can't walk around with them, can't text on them and can't scroll on them like you would your cell phone. They're great.
Who else is here during quarantine, because their screen time went like: 📈📈📈
Fr I quit video games for 6 months and said I’m not going back to video games guess what happened? I returned back to video games and now I have trouble sleeping.
same and my sleep schedule is so messed up 💀
I can't stop thinking about it when lockdown started here in the Philippines,it gotten worse because I will not go to school for a long time....
@@irishspringgreengreenbiscu4346 instead of going off cold turkey try just limiting it to less and less time eventually.

How to cure you're phone addition:
*Delete RUclips*
I can't delete RUclips at all man!!! Hiding and stuff and all don't work and I can't delete Yt!
@@AYY-CEE03 it's not possible. Yeah I tried they want us hooked I think I am done.
RUclips and a smart phone is one of your greatest tools and if you get rid of either your not intelligent.
Do like I do, have two youtube accounts. I use one for entertainment subscriptions and the other for self improvement (this one).
I simply switch between the two depending on what I'm on youtube for. Easier to manage. But I have to say, limit your subs. I used to be subscribed to over 30 channels just for entertainment. Now it's down to 7.
Not everyone is worth your time.
RIP android users
Very genuine, Excessive phone usage is ADDICTION. Don't hesitate to admit it. Like you said wearing watch seems simple yet saves you the potential downward spiral of picking up the phone and getting lost in the fake social media world.
just spend a week without a phone, refreshingly amazing but I did miss 95% of information I needed to do my stuff so finding the right balance is important
I literally broke my phone last week and it's getting fixed right now, so I don't have a phone for a couple of weeks. Most parts of it are literally just really relaxing me atm. Some stuff is definitely annoying, but good thing is, most things I can do on my laptop and that I certainly don't use nearly as much.
I am addicted to reading COMMENTS on RUclips. I literally spend hours and i don't even watch any videos just scrolling down comments😭😭😭😭
Indian?
Me too😪😪
Im doing that rn-
Get RUclips Vanced or NewPipe and turn off comments
@@canigetasubforgoodcomment6054 definitely
The problem is a lot of us do our work with phones, and then when we’re done with our work on our phones, we rely on it for socialization to keep in touch with friends and family. I think just by trying to leave it in the other room rather than in your pocket when you’re not in work or social mode at least will cut your phone time down enough to where you won’t be so addicted to be mindlessly checking it 24/7.
You can use it as a tool, that's fine. But scrolling social media is the waste of time.
twoAm unless you’re on social media to make money or if it’s your job.
@@kiwizlucks4947 people think they make money like that
twoAm what tf do you mean??? A lot of people make money from social media.
@@kiwizlucks4947 I'm not even sure. Lol
I totally agree. We can't completely stay away from our phones, but we can definitely learn to control our urge to not use them when it's not necessary. Turning off the notification might not sound very important, but it does help a lot in reducing the usage.
We have to fight against the smartest tech designers who've spent years designing the most psychologically trapping presentations on these smartphones and keep us hooked stopping us from ever achieving anything at the exchange if pointless entertainment. We are fucked fighting these nerds
I definitely fixed my phone addiction! I used to use it all the time but now I only use it for about 1-2 hours!
Nice
how did you do it?
@@stefan9870 hi. I know it wasn't my comment but what really helped me was setting time limits on apps like instagram or tiktok where I spent most time. From time to time I also make myself a day without the phone- I just turn it off and leave it somewhere and I just see how I function without it-and what was a surprise to me is that I function much better without having my phone with me all the time and it motivates me even more to reduce my screentime and I know that many people need their phones for work etc but I really recommend trying it out during weekend.

I just installed a grayscale extension on my browser and holy crap it makes a lot of a difference. I feel a lot less motivated to just scroll and scroll through recommendations or comments on youtube. Everything seems a lot more boring.
This is making me realize how dumb my brain is made to be, it has adapted to getting distracted by random colors.
Not gonna lie, when i broke my watch half a year ago, i wasn’t wearing a watch for a couple months. I constantly found myself picking up my phone to check the time and ending up in an app or doing something on it. You seriously should get a watch if you want to limit your screen time.
Glad you agree
Same, I got an Active Watch & it's helped me feel like I don't need to be looking at my phone and still let's me reply to people if need be while at the same time i never get sucksd into messing with any harmful apps (like social media) & instead using the apps on the watch which all push me to be more active or drink water and such
yes! i have an apple watch and it is so much easier to check quickly
@@ieisha1976 Why not just get a plain watch that doesn't have all those fancy icons, a watch you can't get online with? That's the whole point of getting a plain watch. Just a watch that tells you the TIME. And NOTHING else. Geez.
@@brynne77 bro needs to be sedated. an apple watch is useful to quickly check notifications that i get. if i get them on my phone, i’ll be more likely to go on my phone and doom scroll.
The best advice I could give, is always be busy. You can only be addicted to your smartphone if you have the time to use it. Some people are always on their phones and don’t prioritize the things they should. If you have work, do work, not use your phone. Remain objective.
I don't think that's how addiction work... Even I started working, I will eventually come to conclusion to wse mobile. It's really cringe but serious.
TRUE
Then your just a workaholic
I understand what you mean. Unfortunately many people use their Smartphones to do work on. I would do whatever I could to NOT use my phone to do work on, so I won't be as likely to get addicted.
Really benefiting from all these productivity videos! Blocking time, keeping phone away, fixing sleep schedule. Thanks a lot Nate!
My screen time averages 2.5 hours every day and even that feels like way too much
same
Based on my experience :
1). Being an introvert, I always hated to talk with someone in any social media platform so it gave me less interest to use social media apps ( facebook, instagram, etc.) and after some months I deleted those apps.
2). I always kept my phone's battery less than 30% after I figured out its addiction is hazardous to my lifestyle and later, I daily felt less motivated to use phone because of my phone's battery.
And that's how I have cured my phone addiction.
One thing I want to add is I still use youtube for learning and knowledge purpose but it doesn't affect anything bad to my daily routine.
Good bro
Great dude
good for u
I'm an extrovert so it's pretty hard to just delete social media like that and loose all my friends :( what can I do?
@@qwertyuiopasdfghjkl9879 do what you want at the end of the day it’s ur life if they’re getting upset after you communicate that you wanna try staying off ur phone for whatever reason and they still are hating kinda shows they’re not opendminded or the truest kind of person

Is not only about quitting an addiction... Is taking control of our own life.
I'm older. And it's really odd to walk around outside and everyone is in this matrix-like bubble. It's almost as if I was this Neo person and I'm free from all of that.
same i think that too
You escaped the matrix
I hope I'll be free from that too one day
Being outdoors, nature walks and gym always keeps me focused 👌🏾
Me too!
So true, nature is great, I go on my phone too much if I'm honest. I've been thinking about all this kinda stuff and yesterday i made a video about it called 'Addiction to screens' its my latest upload, or just type in search bar this title....'Addicted to a screen'
So pumped. The one habit I can’t get rid of is using my phone first thing in the morning.
Same
Same

Same
Same but I am working on it
Videography in this video is great...so much time must've gone into this!!
Also the advice is on par too lol
You're so right about "needing it while it's blocked". I used to use productivity apps like Forest, that would block my phone for a few hours while I studied, and while it was great at first, I quickly realized that it had one big flaw: I couldn't use my calculator or refer to a calendar. Or sometimes, I was in the library and needed to Google something, but I couldn't. So instead, I learned to willingly limit my usage. I don't use grayscale or limit what's on my phone too much, but over time, I managed to reduce my usage from 6-7H per day, to an average of 2. Now some days do go up, but that's mostly because I do use my phone as my camera to film my RUclips videos, but other than that, I can't recall the last time I spent all day scrolling through Instagram!
Definitely noticed the immaculate quality of this video compared to your other ones! Love all your content.
Thanks Christie

Love this! I got rid of social media recently and it has drastically changed my mood and helped my depression. The idea of making the screen gray is genius.
I only started getting addicted to my phone when I got a touchscreen phone. And it never changed, it just gets worse and worse every single day.
Is the camera man on wheels? Cameras constantly on the move 😂
He's agile
Nate O'Brien underrated response.

Pretty sure he strapped the camera onto one of those pigeons
Just bursted out laughing to the “no Instagram or RUclips notifications, which- if you’re new here, subscribe and- maybe- turn on the notifications....😬😙” 😂😂😂 Seriously, great video! Also kudos to you on filming outside. As a fellow introvert, I know how nerve wracking it could be and I’m still working on it myself.
Can you please help me how do ya people stay away frm phones 🥺
I can't do that 😭 and my parents are scolding me daya and night for that...........give some damn tips!!!🙏
I mean, wow! The idea of ur phone being in grey is just amazing and so creative I've never really heard this advice before
My phone addiction was quite bad, stopped me from doing many things, but then i created an imaginary lockbox because the actual one was expensive and money was tight lol, after persistently trying the imagination got stronger lol and it worked, I’m more productive now and less on my phone!
Sultan’s Financial Journey That's awesome!
I find myself just holding my phone even for no reason. This is getting bad.
My biggest problem is keeping my phone w me by saying "I need to study from it" or "I need to listen to study music" when all I use it for is instagram, RUclips and other social media.. :/
The black and white mode is so amazing and helpful! Thank you very much for that idea!
Glad I came across this video. The grey scale mode is a life saver!! Thanks Nate!
Thanks for sharing, Nate! Understandably, we are all connected in a digital world, and that has so many pros as well as cons. This shouldn't hinder us, instead it should help improve ourselves!
Step #1 in curing phone addictions: Subscribe to my channel and follow me on Instagram :)
@@gregportman7584 That's not what he does at all, though. Nate says we should be more "intentional" with our phone use and not that we should stop using it completely. You can still watch RUclips videos in an intentional way without drifting off in the social media vortex, as Nate says, and thus avoid mindless consumption. Let yourself be in control of your phone, not the other way round. Great video and reminder, Nate! Excellent filming and editing. Also, you've inspired me to finally get a watch to wear 😀
Irony
@@johnwillson1264 Yeah, but he did it with a wink, and most people have them on anyways 😉 I personally have narrowed it way down to whom I receive notifications from and then may decide to watch a video immediately or at a later point.

i am really trying to lower my screen time of 5-10 hours. it is terrible because i’ve gained lots of bad habits. when i want to do something productive such as working out, doing schoolwork, or even taking care of myself has been super challenging since my mind is always telling me “5 more minutes won’t hurt!” then i realize 2 hours has past. i waste my days mindlessly scrolling through my phone.
Holy cow, the production quality on this video is AMAZING! Big thumbs up in my books!
Turning off notifications and "Batching" your cell phone time is HUGE, great call! I like what you said about turning off notifications, letting yourself check your phone/your texts maybe once every couple of hours, and absolutely batching together replying to texts and DMs. These days all of us creators/influencers/entrepreneurs have SO many interactions with our clients, collaborators, friends, etc. that you really need to control your inter-personal communication and leave plenty of "solo time" where you can ACTUALLY Get. Shit. Done! Hence why batching is so effective. You rock dude, love all of your content -- keep it coming! And the tips have always been super helpful to all of us :)
Such a great video!! Congrats!!
I use a lot of the tips he has given. The grey scale is new for me. Might try this one out.
Another thing that has helped me a lot too is removing social media apps that I still use off the phone background. So every time I want to use it I have to search for it. Another tip for Apple users is setting time limitations on apps - it makes you much more aware how quickly time adds up throughout the day:)

Loooool

I love the idea of making Instagram more like a newspaper rather than being super duper enticing by putting your phone into gray scale. I think it helps you see that the true color of the world is outside, that's where life is happening and most opportunities lie. I just put my phone into gray scale. Excited to give this a try. :)
thank you for this video, it really gave me the motivation I needed to stop this addiction
Keep doing what you do brother. You are so good ! Great advice
This video was dope Nate! Great job on the filming and editing on this one. I really liked, and the topic helped knock it out of the park.
Can't wait to watch this, Nate! I think overcoming our attachment to cell phones in this generation is really challenging. Kudos to you!
Thanks!
Love the colour filter tip!

Thank you for this!! I never thought of the grayscale mode one before!:)
Wow. I love the grayscale tip. I would have never done this by myself. Thanks. You are soo innovative! Supper impressed with all of your videos!👌🏼
Great filming and editing job! And yes, wearing a watch is something I plan to do as well, since I've noticed this has made me feel more dependent on my phone :)
