Hello everyone,
I don't really know how to start this post, So I will just get right into the subject:
I just deleted the YouTube app from my phone, which was the last social media/entertainment app I kept.
While for most people, that might not sound like a big step, for me it is huge: About half a year ago, I was still addicted to social media and gaming to the point of (absolutely not lying, I can show screentime screenshots of this) spending literally 8-10h everyday combined on gaming, entertainment and social media apps like Reddit, Netflix & YouTube.
Month by month, I managed to reduce it: I stopped gaming, deleted more and more social media accounts and at last, hour by hour, reduced my YouTube "daily allowance". Today marks the day where that allowance becomes 0.
No more YouTube, no more binging stupid series or movies, no more gaming, no more brain fog and no more hours and hours of mindless scrolling.
I'm done with this pathetic form of escapism, It's time to confront the real world.
While the first few days might be hard (to me, YouTube honestly was mostly a "comfort" habit to revert back to whenever I was done with most of my work or just straight up bored, so I know finding other ways to relax/distract myself might be a challenge at first), I know the ROI is tremendously big.
Thanks for reading,
wish me luck.
