This Video Will Save You 9+ Years Of Your Life In 6 Minutes
Video Overview & Insights
These phone settings have helped me so much when trying to reduce the amount of time I spend on my phone. I recently went from around 2 hours and 30 minutes a day to around 35 minutes a day because of these changes. I hope you find them helpful.
Some advice:
Nothing you do can solve your phone addiction unless you identify the reason you use these apps in the first place. It's probably a good reason, so that reason will inevitably drive you to go back on the changes you've made. For example: I used to autopilot to YouTube whenever I wasn't hitting a certain stimulus threshold. When I got rid of YouTube, I became more miserable and reinstalled it. That's because without yt, I was still antsy and bored, the only difference being that now I have nothing to fix my boredom. Then, when I picked up photography, my life kind of slowed down and I became invested in low stimulus activities like staring at trees. This eliminated my main cause for going on yt and thus made me use it less. So make sure that when you're making these sorts of changes, it addresses the reason why you do what you do in the first place. Don't beat around the bush, first look for the bush and then give it one big whack in its weak spot. That's how you make permanent progress instead of temporary progress 👍🏾

I don’t know if many people will see this, but this may be helpful. If you don’t want the grayscale to be too intense, you can control it using the bar at the bottom so ur phone isn’t TOO boring.

i spent 10 hours/day bro what 4 hrs ur talking about i wish
@revlyn_whoMy friend spent 23 hours and 56 minutes on her phone. 116 hours in a week. Thats around 63% of that week on her phone. Makes you think...
Like all thing in life, seeing the very worst makes me become a better person - It's now why my screen time is around 48 mins average.
I have now done all of the things my soon to be saviour Mr Maxwell Rhoe says. Well only like 2 of them tbh.
I am 18 years old. This mobile is responsible for my poor results in exams every year. My exams after 2 months will determine my future. Honestly, I have tried many ways in my life to get out of phone addiction, such as deleting time-wasting apps on my mobile. Setting a timer. On the advice of ChatGPT, I tried keeping my phone in the drawer, to be honest, it is effective, but I go back to addiction after 5/6 days. So I decided to buy a button mobile and keep the mobile with my mother until the exam is over. This way, I will not be able to waste time on the mobile even if I want to. I want to be successful in this endeavor because the results of this exam will affect not only my future but also the future of my family. So I cannot waste this important time. I do not get time to study because I use my mobile for 10/12 hours every day. So I have decided to give up the phone. Maybe I will buy a button mobile phone today. If someone sees this comment, please give it a like!

Also planning to turn off the face id to make it harder to get in the phone. Thank you, man

@RipInjanggreyscale works - the world looks amazing in comparison
@jenrich111But I want to mindlessly scroll during my office hours as to not work that much but not to that when I am home to focus on something. How is it possible?
@mynechan12 hours in a day 🎉
@LeyonEridritethis is good🙏🏽
@KieferOrtizEIt’s my first day guys today I have been using my phone nearly 14 hours , and remind me tomorrow how much time I spend on my phone

@KendrickHall-the-fake-oneWhen did settings add creativity counter
@NexicoMohsin-c9qThank you so much sir
@KirixiieI really like the idea of making my phone less interactive, like setting it to grayscale or turning off vibration mode. I'm actually building an app called Lost Time that helps track how much time I spend in each app.
@QEDxyzI've got my screen time down to 7 hours maximum a day hopefully this helps lowers it to 3 or 4
@Lamppost447Yeah no 8m not deleting YouTube or ticktock
