Hey! Just wanted to mention that I still watch TH-cam videos, check instagram, and respond to emails. I now just have more dedicated time blocks in my calendar to do so _on my computer._ That way I'm not constantly checking my phone for updates throughout the day.
I hope I expressed it well enough - but I have nothing against smartphones. For me its just a matter of being more intentional with my time and with what I consume.
Anywho, I hope you have a great day :)
This video is such a gem. You are my favorite youtuber!
Was just about to ask! I like this… I’m going to try it
How did you take out Spotify camera and maps when calculating screen time?
I would actually love if you do the same kind of video for the computer. I spend so much time on it (TH-cam is my worst enemy) but I don't see a lot of solutions compared to the phone...
@@yourtravelfriendanna I think she just subtracted their sum from the original screen time (cause I believe your not able to ‘hide’ some apps from the calculation)
"This is my friend. My dad." Is a lovely sentence and sentiment I will think about for a long time. Love your videos!

I lost my dad last year and this video reminded me a lot of our relationship dynamic. I miss him everyday. Thank you for pointing out to me that he was not only my parent but also my friend
@@pipakohlmann2067 rip. ❤
That sentence healed my childhood. I’m so happy for anyone who can say that 🥹
@@pipakohlmann2067im so sorry for ur loss 🤧❤️🩹 sending love xx
Deleting Instagram then googling Instagram is so relatable 😅
story of my life 😅
Literally going through the same rn 😭
thats so me
Im literally writing this in the YT tab I had to google bc I don't have YT installed

I really appreciated the addition of your Dad in this video. Not only because he's entertaining but also because we often view phone addiction as the younger generations' problem. This video was a nice reminder these technologies impact everyone.
So true, my mom didn't understand till she got her smartphone and tiktok :D
I'm so happy that Larry is a main character on this channel because he's such a wonderful dad!
Yay I'm glad to know people are enjoying his cameos! I want to do a lot more Makari / Larry adventures 😄❤
Thanks Kelsey! :)
U r really lucky to have that kinda relationship with your dad. Cherish it! Love from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
Awwe… shucks, Kelsey ☺️
your dad having 8 hours in the beginning is really relatable, also y'all are so cute
TEAM!
He is probably retired and have a lot of time to waste, but yeah it makes sense.
Steps for anyone wanting to try but has a terrible memory like me:
Week 1:
- invite a friend
- get an alarm clock
- create a speed bump
- calculate existing screentime
- set goal
Week 2:
- delete apps
- remove phone from bedroom
- turn off notifications
Week 3:
- meditate daily
- spend 24hrs straight without phone
Hey thanks Tammy this is great!! 🙌

This made me want to spend more time with my dad.. and less time with my phone..
Perfect!!
Perfect ❤
this made me want to spend more time with her dad. Not that mine isn't nice, but her dad just seems like such a cool dad!
@@jim4 www.youtube.com/@LiveLaughLarrypod 🤭
I wish I could spend more time with my dad. Cherish the time you have. 😢
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-camrs!
Thanks Nancy 🥹
same here!! Makari Thank you !
Same!!!
Well jeez. Thanks everyone
Me too! :D
Alright you convinced me! I'm going for a run now, instead of watching TH-cam. Thanks
Have fuuuunnnnn 😆
@@makariespe It was fun😊
263 apps.... maybe I need this video more than I thought lol
😆 You got this.
Go team!
Okay I feel better about myself, thanks for the comment
Your relationship with your dad is so friggin' cute!
😆 ya I think I'll keem him
How I wish my dad had been half interested in me as yours is in you. Lovely! Happy for you.
Your relationships with dad are sooo precious❤
I can already tell that buying an alarm clock and removing my phone from my bedroom will be super beneficial
it really was for me. I plug my phone in in the kitchen and then go down to my bedroom - when I wake up in the morning, I read and hydrate without any distraction from my phone. It's awesome.
@@jacobbertram9929 10/10 also recommend. I at least implemented using an alarm clock and it's been great.
I bought a watch (no smart anything, it tells the time and date, has an alarm and an stopwatch) bc I tend to want to check the time and end up checking everything except that. I love my new Casio ♥
i LOOVE how your dad does this kind of stuff with you and is all for it, not many dads would do that! What an amazing video!! Favourite one yet!
Same 😆
And thanks Amanda! I'm glad you liked it :) :)
This video made me cry. I hope my husband and I have relationships like this with our kids one day.
Hey Christine - thanks for sharing. I really appreciate it
I never comment on videos but this was so wholesome, i love your dad and the relationship you have. He seems so excited for being included and you guys did great:) you earned a follower!
oh and the video was so well cut and aesthetically pleasing:)!!
Hey thanks Paulina!! I really appreciate the kind words :) Never thought my content could be aesthetically pleasing so I'm feelin pretty fancy now that you said that 😏 💁🏼♀️😆
I don't know why but this video made me cry!! It was just so wholesome to see a person spending time with their dad and learning how to be more present, my screentime has been through the roof lately because of difficult life situations and this motivated me to try this challenge!! thank you
I’ve been trying to reduce screen time… My phone just consumes me and my peace! This video motivated me to take proper action.. love your content ❤
I love to hear it!! Good luck 😍
Your dad is so unbearably lovely! Love your videos Makari, you’re such a great source of inspiration and joy!
Awe thanks Ellen!! He's really going to appreciate this comment 😆❤
Shucks, Ellen! ☺️. I’m not sure that I’ve ever been called “unbearably lovely” before! (“Unbearable” maybe?!)
This kid of mine talks me into some fun things.
Usually what helps me when I have an urge to use my phone is taking out a book instead. It's nice to take a break from technology for once.
Awesome vid!!
Agreed!!
I forgot my phone at home once and went to work, the most freeing day of them all! I feel so light that day ❤
I bet!! So good 😍
Today marks 1 month since my dad passed and this video was on my recomended and it hit like a truck. I can now be a cliché and say that we need to make the most of our time with special people in our lifes, 'cause I'm only 30 years old so I was still supposed to have 20 or 30 more years with him. I've discovered your channel just a couple days ago and love to see all the moments you create with your parents and friends. Thank you 😊
The fact you did this with your dad is so wholesome 😊
These last few weeks I’ve been trying to find ways to limit screen time and failed so this video is perfect timing! 🙌
Amazing! I love to hear it 😍 Honestly the newsletter is really great!
i love this. I was severely addicted to my phone and social media. It messed with my ability to focus, my mental health and study more than i knew. I knew i had a problem when I started to get irritated whenever my phone was not in reach and it reminded me of my nicotine addiction. I‘ve weened myself off my phone how i did when I stopped smoking, it was shockingly similar. Lots of steps how it described here in this video. I try to keep my phone away from my desk and bedroom, when i study, i keep it in the bathroom for toilet breaks only and i deleted instagram (never had anything else) more than 6 months ago at this point. I am so glad i did. I feel a calmness again and realise that sometimes i will just be „bored“ on the train or in a super market queue, with my mind wandering in thoughts. I have not been lost in thoughts in years and i was delighted to realise that daydreams came back. I will try now the 24 h without phone, i didn’t even think of that. This was a lovely video ❤
Thanks for taking the time to write this thoughtful comment!! What a journey!
@@makariespethank you for the inspiration 😊
Really inspiring to read ! I realize I use my phone to ''distract'' myself from my anxiety or ''bad emotions'' a lot. I will try this challenge and see what happens. I just don't know what to replace the scrolling time with yet. Any suggestions ?
Love this and love that you did it with your dad!! I'd be so interested in an update after a while to see if you kept the screen time down, and if so, how you managed it!
So far so good!! :)
the cutest video I've ever seen
😆
the most exciting thing in this video is your relation with your father "this is my friend. My dad"...love that
This experience with your dad is just the sweetest thing, Your sense of humor and comedic timing is great. Awesome video overall and it makes me want to do the same!
using a judgmental home screen wallpaper is honestly such a good idea...a great and sweet video, thanks for the inspiration and optimism!
Last year my partner and I replaced our phone alarm with a clock radio, instead of an alarm shouting at us at 7am, now it comes onto a radio station at 6:40 and we listen to it as we wake up. It’s so much nicer than a phone alarm and means the first thing you do isn’t look at social media.
Hi Makari, thanks for this absolutely wonderful wholesome video. I have been struggling recently with my phone use, and this is another inspiration.
I really enjoyed the simpleness of it and the editing that kept it very "pure". You and your dad seem like lovely people and good job on making this journey!
Im happy to subscribe! ❤
Would love to see more videos in this category, I would kinda struggle with apps like the News or Airbnb, that I could still doomscroll when i delete my socials.
I absolutely adore the relationship you have with your dad. I had a very poor relationship with a dad with a lot of issues that caused a lot of trauma growing up, and it’s heartwarming and cathartic for me to witness the loving relationship you both have together.♥️
I was feeling the same thing. ❤
I really love this video. You did an amazing thing while showing us how without trying to sell us something, or any of the over the top influencer stuff that we see so often today. Just you and your dad, working on yourselves, and being silly ❤. Thanks for sharing your experience
I have never discovered a TH-camr and binged their entire library in under 48 hours. You are amazing!! I love everything you are sharing with us.
I swear I love this lady. She is funny, cheerful and pretty too. Need more people like her in the world. Thanks for your content. You inspire me to run, stretch and who knows what comes next?
I know hey! So good! So good for the soul!
I found your channel earlier yesterday and I've been binge watching your videos. Love your sense of humor and one of the best parts is watching you and your Dad. You two make a great team!
hi! just wanted to say that this video brought me so much joy. and not just becuase i am in my "tired of phone" phase but because of your interactions with dad and all this lightness and warmth between you! thats so so cool! wish i can do smth like this but it feels strange as we all adult and tend to be serious and independent today idk but this video feels like a safe space. thank u and have a nice day!
Hey thanks for leaving this really thoughtful comment! I really appreciate it :') And I'm with you - adulting is kinda overrated...
You have an awesome relationship with your dad! And he seems like a great father, because he raised an awesome daughter!
I just love your channel so much.
Thanks Sarah 🥹
Good to hear I am well on my way since I charge my phone in the kitchen and use an alarm clock! iPhone’s scheduled summary of notifications each evening is a game changer too since I can hit the X on them all at once without looking at them. My next goals are to keep my phone on the charger more often when I’m home, only check socials on my laptop, and read on my kindle when I have the urge to check my phone.
Thanks for sharing! I didn’t know I could my notifications!
I recently lost my dad,seeing you being so clise to yours really melts my heart, as my dad was also the epicenter of my life ❤ cherish those moments together, they will stay engraved in your memory ❤
I'm so sorry to hear that ❤
And I will I promise - thank you ❤
And here you are making me addicted to your video's 😂
Oops! 😆
Hi Makari, I love that you clearly enjoyed making this. This was the push my wife and I needed to start healthier habits. Thank you for bringing some healing to the world!
This was so cute, I love your relationship with your dad
Probably my favourite video on this platform. Thanks for sharing.
i just made a rough cut and delete instagram. now i got from having 24h a week on instagram to 24h overall screen time last week, 12h of that was youtube where i mostly listen to video podcasts during eating and cleaning.
I feel MUCH better with less time on the phone, but still the reel-addiction is kicking. I am unlocking my phone often just to be sad about the realisation that i cant watch reels or tiktoks. But I am sure that it will get better. Maybe I can also manage to get as low as you on screentime in the future.
But in a world where everyone is addicted to their phones, you managed to cut your screentime that much. Lots of respect for that, keep it up!
Nice video!
This made me miss my dad 😭 Such a sweet video. I apprecaite you sharing with us!!
❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate you for watching!!
I don't know why youtube started recommending me your videos, but I've watched all of them and they're all great!
Also, I think I need to buy an alarm clock now.
Perfect!! :)
I love to hear it!! :)
I threw an affiliate link for my alarm clock in the description if you want the same model :)
That's a wonderful friendship you have with your dad. This is another fun and inspiring video. Thanks for doing all those activities and sharing the adventure.
Thanks for watching!!
Just wanted to say that you are a gift to this platform. You bring so much joy and depth to your videos, huge congrats 🥰🤩🍾🔥🎊
I just love the energy of this video😍 that’s the first video about the reducing of screen time, which actually make me motivated to do that!
i dont know how you do it but your positivity is so nice and inspiring. Please stay always like that forever. Greetings from germany. :)
Thanks Michael! I appreciate it 😄 Hi from Canada! I love Germany 🙌
Girl I love you and your dad! This video brought me so many smiles & laughs!!
I love to hear it! Thanks Abby :)
Absolutely love this video! I’ve recently deleted my social media apps so this may be the next step. Wishing you and your dad love from Scotland 💙
Hey thanks Fiona! Love from Canada! :)
You guys are so sweet! And this gave me great inspiration for more ways for cutting down screentime. Also one of my favorite tricks is turning on color filters so that the phone is in black & white!
Great hack!!
i love your videos
Thanks for posting
Thank you for watching, Rochelle! :) I really appreciate it 🙌
This was the most wholesome and helpful vid I’ve seen in a while. I genuinely feel better after watching this. And inspired!!!!
Thanks DJ - I really appreciate it!! :)
Great hat on Larry! Greetings from Stavanger ☺️
The gradual introduction of constraints on screen time sounds a lot more sustainable than trying to go cold turkey from day one, so kudos for that!
I bought the hat in Bergen 😊👍🇳🇴
You are both so funny and lovely people, it is a joy to watch you two xx
wow i found this video randomly and it is so beautiful. i love your relationship with your dad. thank you for sharing this :)
Glad you enjoyed it :)
This video is so cute! I love the father-daughter dynamic you both have. It has definitely motivated me to start this “challenge” by myself
Woah, this is definitely the most inspiring video for cutting back on your phone that I ever watched. Thank you for your honesty and positivity. Definitely gonna try it out!
In February of this year I had a thought i couldn't shake. We are being harvested. Mainly of our attention and life force. Not literally, but we are giving it up for dopamine. This is the kind of content that will get some of us out of this cycle. You're also both so likeable! Subscribed. ❤️
I got randomly recommended this. I have to say it was extremely well done.
I would like to mention that both IOS and Android have built in app timers. They do require some willpower to not overide tho.
I love everything about this video. The concept, the implementation, the editing, the dad, but most importantly - I love how positive I feel after watching it. Positive encouragement really does make me feel inspired, while usually that types of video (even though they're supposed to help you) kind of feel judgmentally. Thank you for this!
Love this! I love that each and every one of your videos are so intentional and that you really take time to spend time (with your dad!) and examine what it is that really matters. Phones are a great tool, and can be a lifeline, especially when travelling, but we spend some much time using this great tool for less productive things and its great to take a look inwards and really think about what we can live without. I really like the fact that you're carrying a notebook and jotting things down as opposed to immediately pulling out your phone to look things up. That is definitely something I want to add to my daily practice. There is so much to be said for less instant gratification. Also, I'm hoping it means I will spend less time being brainwashed into shopping online, so win-win in my opinion. Great work, as always. I'm looking forward to the next!
You and your dad remind me a lot of me and my dad ❤ I recently moved a few states away and miss him a lot, hopefully he and I can take a camping trip like you guys did sometime soon as well 😊
This is the first video i watch on your Chanel and I love it. A love your vibe!!
Hey thanks Anne! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
This was such a great video to watch. From a video editing and storyline perspective as well as from a content perspective. Also inspired me to go ahead and rethink my daily phone choices. Thank you to you and your friend/dad!
I seriously love you so much. So thankful that the algorithms recommended one of your videos to me a few weeks ago. Now I always look forward to you posting. Love your authenticity and kindness. And your dad is so precious!
Thank you 🥹
“TEAM!” Haha your dad is so cute and this is the first video of yours I’ve seen and really love your video style! New subscriber gained and I’ll give some of these tips a go!!
Your dad is skyrocketing up the charts of my favorite people, lol.
dude same
This video is my inspiration to reduce my screen time. Whenever I feel overwhelmed and confused about my screen time and don't know what to do, I just rewatch the video. It makes me smile while also guiding me. Just tysm!
I loved this video so much. Your relationship with your dad is amazing and it was so wholesome to watch the two of you together ❤ in order to speak with my dad I need my phone but for the rest I'm so interested to try this out! Thanks for the amazing content! ❤
Thanks you for watching and for taking the time to write this thoughtful comment Nina! I appreciate it ❤
I'm so envious of the relationship you have with your dad! Thanks for sharing your experience. ❤
how can a video be soooo wholesome. u have an awesome dad and your energy is contagious.
I just came across this video randomly, and I'm glad I did! ✨
Love the energy & your relationship with your dad ❤
It's the first video of you I've ever seen and I think I might be falling in love 🙈
I loved this video!!! I'm gonna start to take seriously my screen time 🥰
My goodness...your relationship with your dad is such an authentic friendship 💗 💓
Makari, your videos are simultaneously comforting and inspiring! Thanks for making truthful, uplifting content
Awe thank you! And thank you for watching!! :)
This came up on my suggestions and I'm really glad I watched it. I've signed up for the challenge. Definitely spend way too much time on my phone. Was really fun watching the father daughter relationship too.
This is peak TH-cam. Congrats on your relationship with your dad, wishing you peace and love!
Too kind!!
This is the best video on this topic I’ve seen so far. Your dad was precious, your editing and script was on point, and it even made me emotional at the end (never thought of crying seeing a video about cutting screen time). LOVED IT!!! New sub ♥️♥️♥️
I bet your dad will be addicted to his phone and TH-cam today!!❤ 😉. Loved his little ‘Red Skelton’ dance, too!
You guys are adorable!
Your creativity is incredible! 🙌
Hey thanks Laura!! :)
Thanks, Laura! (I’m not referred to as “adorable” all that often ☺️)
That relationship with your father is just…. so beautiful.
At first I watched your videos right when you posted them and always felt amazing afterwards.
Now, I wait a while to watch them when I really need the motivational boost that comes with every. single. video. you post. Thanks for that! ❤
I'm gonna go for a run now 😄
Awe amazing! This makes me so happy!!:)
This was the sweetest video I’ve seen in a long time, your relationship with your dad is so sweet and makes me want to spend more time with my dad
This inspired me and finally I deleted tik tok, pinterest, instagram. I love this video so much, really good tips & also I couldn't help but tear up seeing how close you are with your dad and how much fun you have together. 🥺I'm jelly:,)
You and your dad are so cute! Really enjoyed this video :)
Thanks Em! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! :)
Found this video, loved it and now I want to watch every single of your videos. Such creative ideas 😍
Thank you for that! I've been wanting to actually get rid of my phone addiction and I'll follow the advices. Also, you have such a cool vibe that I just subscribed instantly!
This is your first video that I watched today and have been watching basically all your videos since then. You bring such a positive energy into your videos and they bring me so much joy. Thank you for sticking to youtube even though the journey was hard! Keep it up💗💗
I love how you include your dad. So sweet! Love how you edit and the topic. I want to try this!!! Subscribed
Hey thanks! I appreciate it :)
This was such a wonderful video! So often, day-in-my-life and self-help videos just make me feel hopeless and, quite honestly, more unmotivated. But this was absolutely lovely, and I'm really thankful you documented not only your journey, but your dad's! He's a wonderful guy and it's a joy to watch yall interact.
incredible video. came for some tips about phone addiction and got a powerful reminder to spend time with my parents and loved ones.
Oooo I like!
This was such a fun video to watch! I really want to try this challenge too, because my phone addiction is BAD. So, thank you very much for making this! Also, what a sweet realationship you have with your dad! It's so beautiful to see that. And I am very happy for both of you. You beat your phone addiction! GO TEAM!🌟
Gooooo time! Your dad is THE BEST! 😍He remind me of my dad, who passed in 2019 due to alzheimer's.🥰🥰 Love you two, and i can wait for the next video! 😍🥰😍🤩🇧🇷
I'm so sorry to hear that ❤❤ I'm really glad you enjoyed the videos 🥰
