Alright yo what's up boyz, so I wasted lots and lots of time on my phone. I watched YT, IG, played chess and yes, I was down so bad that I even watched vids from popular creators on Spotify. On average I was consuming roughly 6-7h daily. Ngl, very long. Always was sleep deprived the next day when I had to go to school. So therefore I just decided to stop everything at once cos I thought to myself why not. And you know what? Worked for 2 weeks and then snapped back. Why? Because I spent watching very short amounts of time on vids on Spotify and my brain just coped and decided to stop depriving myself of every addiction because I already had broken the "rules". So what should you do instead of trying to solve everything at once? And don't get me wrong. It should be your goal to get your own time back and eventually stop it all. But you have to do it GRADUALLY. Don't attack everything all at once. It's just a lost battle. Instead of stopping YT, IG, TikTok, TV, chess, ... at once, you only focus on the worst addiction first. For me that was YouTube. Only focus on stopping one addiction (e. g. YT) for 1-2 weeks. After that time period, you've created a small identity which states that you're someone who doesn't watch YT. And now you move on to the next worst addiction and tell yourself to stop consuming YT AND IG. Do that again for 1-2 weeks. Repeat this cycle until you've destroyed them all. This is important as well: If you're forbidding yourself to watch YT, then you ARE allowed to consume the other addictions you have. Always always always keep replacing. Do anything, EXCEPT watching YT. This is the thing that has worked for me so far. That's it! If you've got still some questions my man, do not hesitate to ask. I'm always glad help someone to quit social media and other stuff.

Made a quick little loom video where I explain the major mistake I did when I wanted to get rid of my phone addiction. I wasted lots of time learning this lesson. If your struggling to quit your phone and always get annoyed when you waste time again, then this video is for you. If you need more help, I'll make sure to answer to your questions brother 🔥

Yepp... Instantly when I came home from school or the gym, I grabbed my phone and just consumed endless amounts on YouTube. Even though I was hungry and wanted to eat something in order to make gains in the gym, I just scrolled around on shorts. I checked the time and felt anxious. It was midnight even though it felt like I was only watching content for 5 minutes. My heart feels heavy and the fear grows and grows but I decide to continue to watch meaningless YT vids. At last, it's 2am in the morning and my phone suddenly shuts down because my battery died. 0% left. Do you think that that turning point was the time when I went to bed? Hell no. Even though I knew continuing this stupid stuff wouldn't serve me in any way, I went out of bed, took my charger, went to the socket on the other side of my room and continued watching BS on my chair inside my room. Eventually I decided to quit and go to bed at some point I don't remember. I felt empty, hopeless, unmotivated all at once because I knew that I would repeat this cycle again tomorrow and be sleep deprived the next day. I literally couldn't make any progress in the gym because I wasn't bulking and getting any rest at all. I was just stuck at 80kg even though I wanted to bulk up one kg every month. I wasn't making progress in my goals for at least 2-3 months. Just wanted to share this story with you in order for you to understand how much more progress I could have made if I had solved this problem earlier. Because overall I was dealing with this problem for almost 2 years now. And I'm still not 100% clean but I've made vast improvements. This shit almost ruined my life. Fix it asap. If you can somewhat relate, just write a quick comment and I'll see how I can help you out brother because I know how it feels if you're down in the hole that deep.
