Its been 3 years since i started prep and left my average job for it,my father retired in 2020. Then started prep while staying at home and then phone addiction started from 2nd wave lockdown. And still haven't covered Laxmikant for once, it started from prep related scrolling to mindless scrolling and gaming, tried all possible methods to overcome it but I am now addicted with short attention span(took 1 month to cover Indian constitution at work, merely 2 days enough to complete). Now I actually understand what alcohol and other addict go through. Now I am 29 with gap in my career, still at beginner level with 2 attempts left 2024,25(and we know minimum 1.5 years of study req. even after that clearing exam is a different game) and have appeared once only(can't appear 32 age attempt bcz of my DOB- upsc exclude people born before august).

hello mate. I cannot imagine how you must be feeling. But I very well understand what addiction can do to you. did you try selling your phone and shift to the keypad wala phone? it worked for me.
I've never seen someone telling on TH-cam " it doesn't matter if you unsubscribe my channel" you've the guts to say this bruh hat's off to you and last of Thanks won't be enough for what have you done for the aspirants like us keep it up 👍👍
Sir, I did the things mentioned in the video and added a bit more task from my side. Literally completed the things I would have procrastinated for months in matter of 4 to 5 hours. Recently we had internal exams so my momentum was set. This video is a catalyst. Deleted my apps and did not touch TH-cam until now. I kind of feel guilty now even to use any other distracting app or ways. I just want to read everything. Thank u so much. The fact about using phone at night after studies was actually the hidden cause of my insomnia. Since last week, I feel sleepy like a drunk person sharp at 9 30 pm and sleep. No more sleeplessness at night and guilt in the morning for wasting my time on screen. Thank u sir.
How are you now..I'm writing this because I have dangerous addiction over my phone and I'm a neet aspirant but I study online ..so it's hard staying focused rn!...
I finally studied today for 10 hours ( talking about the quality) after like really really long time...Last it was ig in 2022.. almost a year..After watching your video I actually realised what I was doing to myself...Thank you so much for being such an awesome mentor sir..I am not preparing for UPSC though,but still I get highly motivated with what all you say..Keep us guiding Sir...🙏🙏🙏
@whitepirate4098 I agree with the importance of studying smart...but that doesn't mean one should compromise with the quality of study....Like I said in my comment before...the hours of study i mentioned was in terms of quality....and one must always choose quality over quantity..
This is literally needed so much…thank you for highlighting this problem and giving the solutions!! My mom is in the education sector and she’s starting to observe massive issues in students’ behaviour because they are not even able to focus on 25 minute lectures,as the periods in school were changed from 50 minutes to 25 minutes because the students were unable to focus…it is BaD.
Bro also talk about p*rn addiction... I got addicted in 8 class when some harmai showed be a video i got curious he took 50 rs from me and filled my pendrive with the "STOCK" of difference categories.. even i advised a lot of people jub bhi siucidee ka thought aaye por* dekh lenna uppar ka sara tannav necche aa jayega aur phir tum marne ki nhi maaarne ki sochoge . now I regret it since then I tried too hard and so many times but couldn't get rid of it.. whenever I get hold of Little privacy all I think about is whacking my meat 💦.. now I don't even enjoy it I just do it for the sake of doing to get rid of the urge so i don't more time thinkin about it

Challenge accepted... i am a YT addict ... i have left using social media a long time back but i spend hours on YT on watching videos how to be efficient and i do watch them but eventually i go to some other video and spend 2-3 hrs like this.... (all this i do during my study hours) .... even at night this is the case.... tomorrow DR SHIVIN i will come back and edit this comment to tell you if i passed it or not .... THANK YOU SO MUCHH :)
I was skeptical about it but i did it.... At night it got a bit hard but i realised how much i hours i spend at night so from now i will start studing even at nightt...
This video was a true reflection of what we are doing wrong without recognising the very fact . I felt it personally as well that when i use social media/ youtube without any purpose , i feel guilty of using it & wasting my time . And when i switch off the phone & study hard , meeting targets - i feel more productive. So let's begin the journey from being guilty to being productive. No dopemine shots required any longer .
So true!! Each of the dopamine patterns you have described exactly happens with me. The worst one being using phone in the morning and wasting entire day😢
A drop year JEE Aspirant here. I realised this happening to me a few months ago and slowing started to cut off Instagram and Snapchat first and then TH-cam shorts. What people don't realise is that despite having xxxx amount of followers or friends a lot of these people don't even care about you. At the end when I did completely stop using my social media accounts I realised I had only 3 people other than my family who cared about my wellbeing. Plus also a lot of my 'friends' who also took a drop year weren't taking it seriously and honestly this entire thing forced me to surround myself with better people who had same goals as me. Been using these dopamine detox tips since the last 3-4 months and my attention span has increased so much and short form content irritates me atp 😂 SO for all the people who are trying to cure this addiction, keep going and don't lose hope!!
Hello dr. shivin I feel super proud of myself i didnt use any social media for the whole day .changed location of yt and telegram immediately. And revised most part of geography and part of economy current affairs gave sectional test of polity and geography This dopamine (satisfaction) is far better than that mindless random scrolling. Thank you
This was SO SO HELPFUL. You made me come back to my senses. Even thanking you a ton would be less, but you surely made an impact on my life. This vid was literally needed in this era. I just became a 12th grader, and this was what i probaly needed but ignored. I am surely going to implement it. 🙌❤
Whenever any issues arises in my upsc journey his video pops up giving the solution to that exact issue 😂 (this is I am telling from the bottom of my heart ❤️)
I'm usually a silent viewer. You're very helpful. And your content is like some good valuable company for someone dealing with the loneliness that is complimentary in this journey.
I am so glad you addressed this.. I was already doing these things but by hit and try methods I didn’t know the biology in detail behind it. But I was an addict during COVID 2020 times when I was in college but since 2022 I have achieved this ‘do the heavy task and then reward your brain’ stage. I hope people benefit from this. ALSO a tip for anyone struggling try to bore yourself if you can’t study but don’t pick up your phone.
Identify when you feel like. Early morning, late night Changing the environment Reorder location, make it tough Delete the apps Extra barrier Turn off notifications ( evolutionary perspective - hunter gather) No to periferi vision me phone Changing the environment Give ur phone to family Find the alternative New hobby.. overtime dopamine, daf Unsubscribe Difficult things make u feel better
I had done this for 7 months almost but after a girl distracted me now I am completely confident again to do that stuff i have removed her , it's time to make our parents happy
The first step which I took after watching this video is deleting Instagram and Facebook but I don't use it much but the lesson I got from this will be definitly implimented in my life.
Thank you so much Sir, i didn't open any social media for one day and it's blowing my mind that i did more work in one day than i did the past two months. It's crazy how much of an effect social media had on me. Even though i knew somewhere that i was addicted to using my phone but seeing it first hand was scary af. I felt this constant urge to open my phone and check social media but at then end of the day I felt 100× better that i resisted it. So, i am committed on overcoming this addiction now and it's all thanks to you! I am eternally grateful to you. Thank you :)
Thank you so much sir for addressing the issue I wasted two hours this morning feeling very low since then.. Even though I consciously know I'm getting addicted I am not able to stop scrolling shorts and this is the second time I'm stuck in this vicious cycle , but after watching this video I promise to myself that I would make every effort to end this addiction from today and now onwards .... Thank you so much sir for being there with the students . May god bless you with great success that you yearn for in the years to come.
Thank you Dr. And I am not a upsc aspirant I am just a 15 year old teenager who's exams are reaching and I am not that much addict to my phone but I just don't want to get addicted and I want to get addicted to my passion not my distraction..... I have watched the whole video and it helps too much.... Thank you so much.. 😃😃✨🌼🌼🌼 - Avni sarbhai. 😃
I'm a phone addict, my screen time is 9-11hrs without any educational use. I really needed this. Thank you so much sir really appreciate it. I will not use YT & Insta for the rest of the day & open it tomorrow for a comment. There is a one question. How do i reward myself, how i use dopamine to my advantage?
use Phone as a reward system only, After working for 6 hrs, Give that your time for 30 minutes as a reward, Or Do some other activities which you enjoy
Shivin bhaiya please make a video on mains test series . you will be in top 50 AIR UPSC 2022 .your commitment towards the community will definitely pay off ❤
The way he told us we're better was also a trap he had put just to keep us watching with dopamine and then get out of the phone trap 💀 bro I hear it at the end , I did the comment already, I know I was being tricked were all being tricked and we are getting tricked intentionally even after knowing were tricked , we're all fucked up guys , Let's get better now!!!!!!
This is true enlightenment. I AM VERY OBLIGED BY YOUR WORDS SIR. YOU ARE GOD. YOU ARE A TRUE HERO AND DESERVE MORE RESPECT. And, I am saying all of this, not because of pure excitement after watching the video, but because of the effects of implementing the things that you have said Sir, and how they are going to affect me, throughout the rest of my life. I AM READY TO EMBRACE THE CHANGE. THANK YOU SIR and I hope I can meet you Sir in person after I grow up, at a certain point of my life. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ALSO, Jai Hind, Jai Bharat. All hail India 🇮🇳.
Yesterday i watched this video - 1.30 PM approx. I controlled myself for next 24 hour it was not easy but it help alot. I get much more time to revise and learn. In last 24 hours my screen time was just 15 min bcz of calling to parents. Thanks you so much sir. 😊
I did it . Heavy withdrawal signs , wanted to use it all the time , but didn't open TH-cam / any other social media platforms until today. Significantly improved my time for other things throughout the day , Hoping to do it consistently. Thanx a lot !
I didn't watch this video coz I'm addicted to my phone or something. As I've already identified my pre-addictive stage and now I'm practising to control it. The reason I clicked on this video is the impact that you have created. I knew even before watching this that I will definitely get some new concept. And I must say you never disappoint your viewers. Thanks for the concept of 'neuroplasticity' and 'relationship between pleasure and pain'. Thank you once again.🙏
I really appreciate your scientific approach towards every problem sir, it amazes me to know how strongly you can relate with us, saying random things that we all can relate ( I was literally smiling coz i could relate with those things) thank you for this solution, I'm late in watching this but it's worth it.. Also, you're not any random person who tells us something, you're our best mentor 💯🙏🏻 I'm glad I subscribed to you ( I forever will subscribe for anything you are doing) Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I kept my phone aside at night yesterday... And now I started using it to comment about the progress as you mentioned in the video....the entire day I used a keypad phone... So today entirely I remained without a smartphone.... Just came here to mention about my progress.... 👍👍👍
Thankyou for this video. I wasn't able to understand how i am not able to study after using my phone in the morning. This video showed up at the most appropriate time.
I did one thing you mentioned in the video.stopped using instagram,fb.left for it for browsing.aur ab aisa ho gya ki man hi ni krta ye sab open krne ka even through browser. The last thing actually blowed my mind.Thank you.not using youtube for the rest of the day.Thank you
Thank you so much for talking about this .I don't have any social media app not even you tube as I am using browser .Whenever I have to watch some educational video I download it on my tab and I have told my brother to keep a check on me so that I am not on you tube scrolling random videos.
I will try to implement. Thank you for the information & I will comment again when I implement it. Then get the pleasure of the hard work, studying and not checking the phone. Once again, thank for your kind information. 🙏🏼
Are you a magician sir!??? You literally read my mind 😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯..and yes you blew my mind!!! Such a amazing session it was..i am going to implement it from now..!!
Thank God, I somehow came across your video. I was facing this issue a lot and got a very informative content. Your Channel is Gold. Congratulations on Your Rank and Selection.
Hello sir. I am a NEET UG aspirant but this actually helped me identify my problem since attention deficiency is more prominent in teenagers of my age. Today I woke up in the morning while having a headache to listen to some binaural beats to soothe the pain. That's when I found this video. it is surprising how short an average person's attention span is. despite using techniques like pomodoro, 5-minute rule etc. I've been losing focus every now and then. This is really concerning for me though I'm not sure if I have ADHD but thank you for this! Maybe now I'll be able to use a more improvised pain-reward-pain cycle rather than the normal reward-pain loop.
Thank you sir! It's simple operant conditioning. Behaviour is repeated coz of reinforcement . Currently, most of us use phones just coz it helps us to escape d examination ANXIETY n this relief is reinforcing our phone addiction. But this defence mechanism is just quick fix solution Solution - 1) punishment - operant conditioning is based on rewards n punishments. So whenever you pick up ur phone know d consequences - wastage of time ,etc. It would simply decrease ur phone usage time 2) anxiety - watch shivin sir's video on anxiety ,it's given there Remainder - be kind to urself during upsc cse prep 🌻
Last few years I’m trying to quit this phone addiction, but because of inconsistency I have failed many times. But turning off notifications is really tricky here, as in this phase it actually had an reverse effect as i used to open my phone severally time to see if there is any message or not. Just a thing i wanted to share. I hope you get rid of your phone addiction
day 4 - i have realised it wont be a easy task and i have to remind myself of the importance of mental health ... 20 mins and this scrolling was not even desired. wish me luck DOC!
Just saw the video and let me truly share that I am, from last one week practicing this, opened my youtube for an hour only on Sundays and all the social media apps are deleted. I have never ever felt this productive. I already completed so many things which used to be due for months. I hope people start doing it because it's just so needed.
This really worked for me. Not regularly checking out social media apps greatly helped me to focus on my studies. Thanks a lot for putting light on this topic!🙏
One more thing which I've found useful, once my sir told me, is that if you really want to achieve something, then just make rules of what you're going to do, and swear on that goal that you'll follow all the rules until the goal is achieved. Many of us believe in swearings in some way, and it will prevent us from breaking those rules. I know it's extreme, but i think it works.
It will not work believe me because you are not ordering your hand to on mobile and watch because u dont want to use mobile yet you use it because your mind orders your hand to use mobile . And you swear but your mind not. And you will break your swear on long term it can loose your self confidence. So never swear in your life. If you can do something you can do without swear. ❤
Thank you so much, it really did change me from addictions, I used to see videos to make myself concentrate on my studies but helped me less. your way of explaining! made me understand how time-consuming it can be to spoil precious time.
This video was awesome.into the first 5-7 minutes video of the video,i realised you are trying to give a reward for people watching the video. As I have read in the book atomic habits "what is immediately rewarded is repeated and what is immediately punished is avoided". This method u used make me realise the power of rewards. Thankyou so much.
I'm watching this because I badly want to get rid of my phone addiction. I criticize myself everyday but I'm unable to let go of this. N i am not even on any social media except WhatsApp.. but i waste time on TH-cam. Resonated so much with this video! It creeped me out at the reality of this video when I myself was feeling a dopamine spike at each of those "congratulations" moments, won't lie! 😮 Will try to implement the solutions. Hope it helps.. Thanks ❤
Hey stranger! I feel motivated enough to follow your instructions blindly, even if you won't be able to witness my grit to accomplish these little steps and live the magic it would create. Thank you.
This is just wow, thank you so much! I'm proud of myself that I don't fall into a lot of categories but still it was great to dig deeper into neuroscience with you. Hope you share some more neuroscientific aspects of our human body from your experience and knowledge in Medical Science. Keep Smiling! :)❤️
I'm jee aspirant and I deleted all social media except this fucking you tube and literally this sucks my most of the time and today it's 4:31 am in the morning I got your vedio that open my eyes now I'm gonna close for whole day and try to complete study lecture through my study app....I'll come tomorrow and tell you how I felt 9 Aug 2023.
Woah...I really didn't expect to watch the whole video in one shot..... watching shorts on yt has made my attention span very bad ...so I thought I'll quit soon .....but the 24 damn 24 MINUTES felt like only few minutes .... I'm amazed with this too what u said is really so true...even a random people calling u special causes such a great production of dopamine 👍...keep up the good work.. And yeah I'm gonna stop yt for today :)
Thank you Dr.Shivin you are doing great job..it would be great if you can cover the GS1234 in a similar manner like you have covered PT365, we do not ask for complete lectures but macro view and understanding of every single topic.
I'm feeling good that i accepted my problem of mindlessly scrolling....by watching your video. Tomorrow i will let you know sir , that i did achieved my goal of studying & not wasting my time on social media 👍thanks a lot it was really helpful 👍
You were too much right .....means aaj Maine search Kiya Tha products Jo mujhe Lena Tha ur aaj hi mere insta gram pe bhi same usi products ki ads chalne lagi Sach me hare sare data's unke pass hote h
I did it. Watched your video yesterday, and here I am after solving a math paper and have come on TH-cam to clear my doubts. Thank you for providing me valuable knowledge.
I'll come back tomorrow for update🙌 Edit : I couldn't completely stay off TH-cam But I did uninstall my Instagram and turned off notifications of WhatsApp, Snapchat etc. Also studied for few hours Couldn't meet the goal but did small changes and felt great!! More power to all those who are struggling. Much love ❤️
This video must be very helpful to almost everyone who are struggling with concentrating well on the task in hand. I’m saying so because this video gave me flashbacks of a few podcasts by Andrew Huberman & Lex Fridman. Also, I’m sorry but I have to watch another video on TH-cam after this- Ted Talk because I have listed it on my TH-cam watchlist for today. But, after that I’m definitely going to read a book.
Ohh God that reward thing was insane like seriously I didn't notice at first ... U keep saying that if u reached here you are better than 50% 90% ... That was amazing .... I don't use Facebook anymore or Instagram but I waste my most of time on TH-cam by watching random videos ..that pleasure thing was literally a serious problem that I didn't realize it until I watched your video ...thank you for this I will make sure that I will try my best to get rid off my phone addiction.
🇮🇳 I always like ur scientific approach... I still have to say one more thing...the permanent solution to all these issues is conscious decision...the person with full awareness of himself and surrounding... the person who meditates inward out 🧘... It's not that a guide said no TH-cam u do it for his or challenge sake ... Neither it's for just disagreement...but it should be the conscious decision.... taking cognizance of what's imp and what matters... Kuddos to your videos ...i really think u can be more than UPSC teacher or IAS... I hope to see u as a great leader 🙏 p.s: kept an emoji on the front line for attention 😅
Thank you so much for this video. I have been struggling from social media addiction since years and it has spoiled my life I will implement all the important advice given in this video and become a better person Today this is the last video I will see... And complete one of my important work which I have been procrastinating since 15 days For the first time I'm thanking TH-cam for recommending this video . I will come back tomorrow and update the progress
Although I'm late here, this doesn't stope me from appreciating you. Believe me you're not a random person, you've helped so many people with your wisdom. You're an extremely good orator. Please keep up the good work.
hi im a 10th grader my boards are comin up. today is 1st january and from past 2 weeks im feelin this that im actually addicted to social media while scrolling reels i used to feel im actually wastin my time but i kept doin that .when i try to study i ended up scrolling reels but today on 1 st jan i search for the cure and i found his video its about 24 min long and i knew that i cant make upto 24min but when i was watchin it i felt like this is helping me but thankyou so much doc shivin for this video it really helped me alot
Thanks a ton.. Can't relate more to anything ... All u said was soo relatable and soo mch needed.... Pls keep up the great work.. Our technologically advanced generation needs people like u... Thanks once again.. God bless ya 🎉❤
Hi. So i watched this yesterday and did not open TH-cam the whole day. Thanks alot. It made my day qualitatively so much better. I opened the clock by habit at least 5-6 times. Anyway. I still did waste some time at night, but it was only for a few minutes. Since i couldn't use youtube (i don't use other social media apps anyway), i scrolled on my google explore page for a while lol) I will try and follow this for the remaining days until pre. Thanks Shivin :)
I waste so many of my important time on youtube and then feel guilty about it but from now I will tey my best to improve. Thank you so much for this video sir.
As a person with ADHD and BPD, my brain is wired differently. There is dopamine deficiency and hence, broken reward system. I'm currently taking treatment but it is not helping. And then there is BPD which makes my emotions extreme and pain perception worse. It is a never ending cycle. I'm trying my best to be as normal as I can get with various medications and therapies. But I'm not sure how long it will take.
Just stick to a routine, because of the bpd thing you will have extremely good days and extremely bad days , trick is to cry and do it, rather than cry whole day and do nothing because we felt too sad... And for the add thing i got a stopwatch and i keep my phone in other room, but since you have adhd , having a phone or not doesn't matter , you will get distracted more often. Having a timer helps, it helps you keep present...and keep water and something to munch on near you, so that you don't find an excuse to get up, keep the books and notes a bit organised and study area clean...these are some methods that helped me over yrs....but i still do get distracted a lot and finish a 2hr lecture in 3.5 hr... but these are the only ways that work...and also make a routine that you will stick to
@@banasreepaul4786 Well, I've tried almost everything to improve my focus. I've got stopwatch, bought a whole new study table, printer, etc. Only hard thing for me is sticking to a routine. My current meds help me in most of my daily chores but when it comes to study (which reqire too much mental effort), my brain makes me sleepy/tired. And if I try to force myself to do stuff at that time, I'll get physical pain (Somatic pain). For me, this pain is the worst part. It is something, I am working on with my psychiatrist to resolve.
@@The_Phoenix_61 see for me i have the same issues too, but you have to use trial and error method to find out what's best for you....i can't follow my routines either...but without a routine and goal to stick to my productivity falls further down...for the somatic pain issue ask your psychiatrist to show you some exercises and you can try cognitive behavioral therapy..i know its hard for people like us..but keep fighting, you will get through it ..
Its been 3 years since i started prep and left my average job for it,my father retired in 2020. Then started prep while staying at home and then phone addiction started from 2nd wave lockdown. And still haven't covered Laxmikant for once, it started from prep related scrolling to mindless scrolling and gaming, tried all possible methods to overcome it but I am now addicted with short attention span(took 1 month to cover Indian constitution at work, merely 2 days enough to complete). Now I actually understand what alcohol and other addict go through. Now I am 29 with gap in my career, still at beginner level with 2 attempts left 2024,25(and we know minimum 1.5 years of study req. even after that clearing exam is a different game) and have appeared once only(can't appear 32 age attempt bcz of my DOB- upsc exclude people born before august).

All the best to aspirants.

Sir, I did the things mentioned in the video and added a bit more task from my side. Literally completed the things I would have procrastinated for months in matter of 4 to 5 hours.

- Identify patterns and create barriers.
- Delete apps, use browser, turn off notifications.
- Use apps like Forest for focus.

A drop year JEE Aspirant here. I realised this happening to me a few months ago and slowing started to cut off Instagram and Snapchat first and then TH-cam shorts. What people don't realise is that despite having xxxx amount of followers or friends a lot of these people don't even care about you. At the end when I did completely stop using my social media accounts I realised I had only 3 people other than my family who cared about my wellbeing. Plus also a lot of my 'friends' who also took a drop year weren't taking it seriously and honestly this entire thing forced me to surround myself with better people who had same goals as me. Been using these dopamine detox tips since the last 3-4 months and my attention span has increased so much and short form content irritates me atp 😂 SO for all the people who are trying to cure this addiction, keep going and don't lose hope!!
Same Bhai what's next? Will u start preparing for upsc? Or will take second drop?? Give me ur telegram
@@Canvas2.000 Nah man, this year is my 1st drop for JEE so gonna be focusing on that. I'm not a UPSC aspirant haha :D
Thank you!!
Hello dr. shivin
I feel super proud of myself i didnt use any social media for the whole day .changed location of yt and telegram immediately. And revised most part of geography and part of economy current affairs gave sectional test of polity and geography
This dopamine (satisfaction) is far better than that mindless random scrolling. Thank you
This was SO SO HELPFUL. You made me come back to my senses. Even thanking you a ton would be less, but you surely made an impact on my life. This vid was literally needed in this era. I just became a 12th grader, and this was what i probaly needed but ignored. I am surely going to implement it. 🙌❤
Whenever any issues arises in my upsc journey his video pops up giving the solution to that exact issue 😂 (this is I am telling from the bottom of my heart ❤️)
😂
I'm usually a silent viewer. You're very helpful. And your content is like some good valuable company for someone dealing with the loneliness that is complimentary in this journey.
I am so glad you addressed this.. I was already doing these things but by hit and try methods I didn’t know the biology in detail behind it. But I was an addict during COVID 2020 times when I was in college but since 2022 I have achieved this ‘do the heavy task and then reward your brain’ stage. I hope people benefit from this. ALSO a tip for anyone struggling try to bore yourself if you can’t study but don’t pick up your phone.
day 2 - did youtube for 20 mins and i am honest in this .... this is difficult DOC ! but i will do this detox whole month
I completed the task! Not opened YT until now since yesterday. Thank you ❤️

I had done this for 7 months almost but after a girl distracted me now I am completely confident again to do that stuff i have removed her , it's time to make our parents happy
The first step which I took after watching this video is deleting Instagram and Facebook but I don't use it much but the lesson I got from this will be definitly implimented in my life.
Thank you so much Sir, i didn't open any social media for one day and it's blowing my mind that i did more work in one day than i did the past two months. It's crazy how much of an effect social media had on me. Even though i knew somewhere that i was addicted to using my phone but seeing it first hand was scary af. I felt this constant urge to open my phone and check social media but at then end of the day I felt 100× better that i resisted it. So, i am committed on overcoming this addiction now and it's all thanks to you! I am eternally grateful to you. Thank you :)
Thank you so much sir for addressing the issue I wasted two hours this morning feeling very low since then.. Even though I consciously know I'm getting addicted I am not able to stop scrolling shorts and this is the second time I'm stuck in this vicious cycle , but after watching this video I promise to myself that I would make every effort to end this addiction from today and now onwards .... Thank you so much sir for being there with the students .
May god bless you with great success that you yearn for in the years to come.
Thank you Dr. And I am not a upsc aspirant I am just a 15 year old teenager who's exams are reaching and I am not that much addict to my phone but I just don't want to get addicted and I want to get addicted to my passion not my distraction..... I have watched the whole video and it helps too much.... Thank you so much.. 😃😃✨🌼🌼🌼
- Avni sarbhai. 😃
I'm a phone addict, my screen time is 9-11hrs without any educational use. I really needed this. Thank you so much sir really appreciate it. I will not use YT & Insta for the rest of the day & open it tomorrow for a comment.
There is a one question. How do i reward myself, how i use dopamine to my advantage?
Do physical exercise and go for morning walk without phone.
use Phone as a reward system only, After working for 6 hrs, Give that your time for 30 minutes as a reward, Or Do some other activities which you enjoy
It's been 3 months how are you doing now?
This is probably the best video I've ever seen. Thanks for showing me the way :)
Shivin bhaiya please make a video on mains test series .
you will be in top 50 AIR UPSC 2022 .your commitment towards the community will definitely pay off ❤
Result coming on 22 may
The way he told us we're better was also a trap he had put just to keep us watching with dopamine and then get out of the phone trap
💀 bro I hear it at the end , I did the comment already, I know I was being tricked were all being tricked and we are getting tricked intentionally even after knowing were tricked , we're all fucked up guys , Let's get better now!!!!!!
This is true enlightenment. I AM VERY OBLIGED BY YOUR WORDS SIR. YOU ARE GOD. YOU ARE A TRUE HERO AND DESERVE MORE RESPECT. And, I am saying all of this, not because of pure excitement after watching the video, but because of the effects of implementing the things that you have said Sir, and how they are going to affect me, throughout the rest of my life. I AM READY TO EMBRACE THE CHANGE. THANK YOU SIR and I hope I can meet you Sir in person after I grow up, at a certain point of my life. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
ALSO, Jai Hind, Jai Bharat. All hail India 🇮🇳.
Had this in my watch later for more than a month. Glad I watched it :)
Yesterday i watched this video - 1.30 PM approx.
I controlled myself for next 24 hour it was not easy but it help alot. I get much more time to revise and learn.
In last 24 hours my screen time was just 15 min bcz of calling to parents.
Thanks you so much sir. 😊
I did it . Heavy withdrawal signs , wanted to use it all the time , but didn't open TH-cam / any other social media platforms until today. Significantly improved my time for other things throughout the day , Hoping to do it consistently. Thanx a lot !
I didn't watch this video coz I'm addicted to my phone or something. As I've already identified my pre-addictive stage and now I'm practising to control it. The reason I clicked on this video is the impact that you have created. I knew even before watching this that I will definitely get some new concept. And I must say you never disappoint your viewers. Thanks for the concept of 'neuroplasticity' and 'relationship between pleasure and pain'. Thank you once again.🙏
love! love! love!! 💌
thank you so much Shivin!!❣
I really appreciate your scientific approach towards every problem sir, it amazes me to know how strongly you can relate with us, saying random things that we all can relate ( I was literally smiling coz i could relate with those things) thank you for this solution, I'm late in watching this but it's worth it.. Also, you're not any random person who tells us something, you're our best mentor 💯🙏🏻 I'm glad I subscribed to you ( I forever will subscribe for anything you are doing) Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I kept my phone aside at night yesterday... And now I started using it to comment about the progress as you mentioned in the video....the entire day I used a keypad phone... So today entirely I remained without a smartphone.... Just came here to mention about my progress.... 👍👍👍
Thankyou for this video. I wasn't able to understand how i am not able to study after using my phone in the morning. This video showed up at the most appropriate time.
He is a real interpreter he used the word congratulations to make us realise happiness and rewarding
I did one thing you mentioned in the video.stopped using instagram,fb.left for it for browsing.aur ab aisa ho gya ki man hi ni krta ye sab open krne ka even through browser. The last thing actually blowed my mind.Thank you.not using youtube for the rest of the day.Thank you
A much needed video. Thank You Brother !
- Bhushan
Thank you so much for talking about this .I don't have any social media app not even you tube as I am using browser .Whenever I have to watch some educational video I download it on my tab and I have told my brother to keep a check on me so that I am not on you tube scrolling random videos.
I will try to implement. Thank you for the information & I will comment again when I implement it. Then get the pleasure of the hard work, studying and not checking the phone. Once again, thank for your kind information. 🙏🏼
Are you a magician sir!??? You literally read my mind 😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯..and yes you blew my mind!!! Such a amazing session it was..i am going to implement it from now..!!
Thank God, I somehow came across your video. I was facing this issue a lot and got a very informative content. Your Channel is Gold. Congratulations on Your Rank and Selection.
Don't use any social media they are only useless things. 13:22 😊
Hello sir. I am a NEET UG aspirant but this actually helped me identify my problem since attention deficiency is more prominent in teenagers of my age. Today I woke up in the morning while having a headache to listen to some binaural beats to soothe the pain. That's when I found this video. it is surprising how short an average person's attention span is. despite using techniques like pomodoro, 5-minute rule etc. I've been losing focus every now and then. This is really concerning for me though I'm not sure if I have ADHD but thank you for this! Maybe now I'll be able to use a more improvised pain-reward-pain cycle rather than the normal reward-pain loop.
Bro I'm too preparing for neet can we have a talk ? I liked the way you described same thing going w me
@@niralasuraj1789 sure dude
@@ryv725 are you on insta? Neet'24 aspirant?
Thank you sir!
It's simple operant conditioning. Behaviour is repeated coz of reinforcement . Currently, most of us use phones just coz it helps us to escape d examination ANXIETY n this relief is reinforcing our phone addiction. But this defence mechanism is just quick fix solution
Solution - 1) punishment - operant conditioning is based on rewards n punishments. So whenever you pick up ur phone know d consequences - wastage of time ,etc. It would simply decrease ur phone usage time
2) anxiety - watch shivin sir's video on anxiety ,it's given there
Remainder - be kind to urself during upsc cse prep 🌻
Last few years I’m trying to quit this phone addiction, but because of inconsistency I have failed many times. But turning off notifications is really tricky here, as in this phase it actually had an reverse effect as i used to open my phone severally time to see if there is any message or not. Just a thing i wanted to share. I hope you get rid of your phone addiction
Word to word everything you said is 💯 correct and relatable . Will implement this challenge and will come back in comments 🎉
You are doing God's work Dr Shivin! I am really thankful to have found your channel❤ Achieve great things in life, you🧿
day 4 - i have realised it wont be a easy task and i have to remind myself of the importance of mental health ... 20 mins and this scrolling was not even desired. wish me luck DOC!
You're doing good in a very clever way
Profit + helping
Great man✊
So much insightful. Yes, I have addiction. I overcame some addictions, so I am sure I overcome this too.
Just saw the video and let me truly share that I am, from last one week practicing this, opened my youtube for an hour only on Sundays and all the social media apps are deleted. I have never ever felt this productive. I already completed so many things which used to be due for months. I hope people start doing it because it's just so needed.
This really worked for me.
Not regularly checking out social media apps greatly helped me to focus on my studies.
Thanks a lot for putting light on this topic!🙏
One more thing which I've found useful, once my sir told me, is that if you really want to achieve something, then just make rules of what you're going to do, and swear on that goal that you'll follow all the rules until the goal is achieved. Many of us believe in swearings in some way, and it will prevent us from breaking those rules. I know it's extreme, but i think it works.
It will not work believe me because you are not ordering your hand to on mobile and watch because u dont want to use mobile yet you use it because your mind orders your hand to use mobile . And you swear but your mind not.
And you will break your swear on long term it can loose your self confidence.
So never swear in your life.
If you can do something you can do without swear. ❤
Thank you so much, it really did change me from addictions, I used to see videos to make myself concentrate on my studies but helped me less. your way of explaining! made me understand how time-consuming it can be to spoil precious time.
This video was awesome.into the first 5-7 minutes video of the video,i realised you are trying to give a reward for people watching the video. As I have read in the book atomic habits "what is immediately rewarded is repeated and what is immediately punished is avoided".
This method u used make me realise the power of rewards.
Thankyou so much.
U r video was wonderful. May God bless u for awakening so many people. Thanks
I accepted that I am yt addicted.
I am UPSC NDA 2024 ASPIRANTS.
THANKS. SIR. FOR THIS. I AM IMPLEMENTING. TO LEFT MY PHONE ADDICTION
Probably, this is the best video of TH-cam of the year 2023 for students!!!
I'm watching this because I badly want to get rid of my phone addiction. I criticize myself everyday but I'm unable to let go of this. N i am not even on any social media except WhatsApp.. but i waste time on TH-cam. Resonated so much with this video! It creeped me out at the reality of this video when I myself was feeling a dopamine spike at each of those "congratulations" moments, won't lie! 😮 Will try to implement the solutions. Hope it helps.. Thanks ❤
I'm so glad you made this video. It was much needed💖
I have been doing this for the past 2 days and the results are far better than before. Thank you so much ❤
Hey stranger! I feel motivated enough to follow your instructions blindly, even if you won't be able to witness my grit to accomplish these little steps and live the magic it would create. Thank you.
This is just wow, thank you so much! I'm proud of myself that I don't fall into a lot of categories but still it was great to dig deeper into neuroscience with you. Hope you share some more neuroscientific aspects of our human body from your experience and knowledge in Medical Science. Keep Smiling! :)❤️
I'm jee aspirant and I deleted all social media except this fucking you tube and literally this sucks my most of the time and today it's 4:31 am in the morning I got your vedio that open my eyes now I'm gonna close for whole day and try to complete study lecture through my study app....I'll come tomorrow and tell you how I felt 9 Aug 2023.
Woah...I really didn't expect to watch the whole video in one shot..... watching shorts on yt has made my attention span very bad ...so I thought I'll quit soon .....but the 24 damn 24 MINUTES felt like only few minutes .... I'm amazed with this too what u said is really so true...even a random people calling u special causes such a great production of dopamine 👍...keep up the good work..
And yeah I'm gonna stop yt for today :)
This 10:04 and this graph 11:57 changed my entire perspective.. Thanks BluD for the help appreciate it
Wonderful video 👏. Very detailed explanation 👍
Thank you Dr.Shivin you are doing great job..it would be great if you can cover the GS1234 in a similar manner like you have covered PT365, we do not ask for complete lectures but macro view and understanding of every single topic.
Yes exactly.
+1
If Shivin would have been my teacher, I'd have died to execute his words
Nice man! Really impressive👍
I'm feeling good that i accepted my problem of mindlessly scrolling....by watching your video. Tomorrow i will let you know sir , that i did achieved my goal of studying & not wasting my time on social media 👍thanks a lot it was really helpful 👍
Bata bey padha tu
You were too much right .....means aaj Maine search Kiya Tha products Jo mujhe Lena Tha ur aaj hi mere insta gram pe bhi same usi products ki ads chalne lagi Sach me hare sare data's unke pass hote h
Hello Dr Shivin, Dr Pragya here. I am a NEET PG aspirant and this video is really helpful to me, thanks a lot
Thank you sir, I hope I'll be able to overcome my phone addiction with this roadmap now!!
You're the best!! 😊
Just discovered you todday on result day. Great work champ. Thanks for everything 😊
9:22 "this happens even with the hardwork". 😌
I did it. Watched your video yesterday, and here I am after solving a math paper and have come on TH-cam to clear my doubts. Thank you for providing me valuable knowledge.
I'll come back tomorrow for update🙌
Edit :
I couldn't completely stay off TH-cam
But I did uninstall my Instagram and turned off notifications of WhatsApp, Snapchat etc.
Also studied for few hours
Couldn't meet the goal but did small changes and felt great!!
More power to all those who are struggling. Much love ❤️
Great video....your appreciation of those who reached a certain level is also a certain shot of dopamine for the audience .....thanks !
This video must be very helpful to almost everyone who are struggling with concentrating well on the task in hand. I’m saying so because this video gave me flashbacks of a few podcasts by Andrew Huberman & Lex Fridman. Also, I’m sorry but I have to watch another video on TH-cam after this- Ted Talk because I have listed it on my TH-cam watchlist for today. But, after that I’m definitely going to read a book.
Ohh God that reward thing was insane like seriously I didn't notice at first ... U keep saying that if u reached here you are better than 50% 90% ... That was amazing .... I don't use Facebook anymore or Instagram but I waste my most of time on TH-cam by watching random videos ..that pleasure thing was literally a serious problem that I didn't realize it until I watched your video ...thank you for this I will make sure that I will try my best to get rid off my phone addiction.
🇮🇳 I always like ur scientific approach...
I still have to say one more thing...the permanent solution to all these issues is conscious decision...the person with full awareness of himself and surrounding... the person who meditates inward out 🧘...
It's not that a guide said no TH-cam u do it for his or challenge sake ... Neither it's for just disagreement...but it should be the conscious decision.... taking cognizance of what's imp and what matters...
Kuddos to your videos ...i really think u can be more than UPSC teacher or IAS... I hope to see u as a great leader 🙏
p.s: kept an emoji on the front line for attention 😅
Congratulation sir💓💓
This was my first video since morning and now I am done for the day I guess. Well played Shivin😅
Thank you so much for this video. I have been struggling from social media addiction since years and it has spoiled my life
I will implement all the important advice given in this video and become a better person
Today this is the last video
I will see... And complete one of my important work which I have been procrastinating since 15 days
For the first time I'm thanking TH-cam for recommending this video .
I will come back tomorrow and update the progress
Here Dr Shivin is also playing with our psychology by making levels I guess 🤣
It really helped... I tried not using social media app for one day....feeling so relaxed.....thankyou
Although I'm late here, this doesn't stope me from appreciating you. Believe me you're not a random person, you've helped so many people with your wisdom. You're an extremely good orator. Please keep up the good work.
This is the best video ever. Thank you so much i appriciate this✨️
13:42 Hmmm thats the reason why i feel good after a good workout session

Thanks a ton.. Can't relate more to anything ... All u said was soo relatable and soo mch needed.... Pls keep up the great work.. Our technologically advanced generation needs people like u... Thanks once again.. God bless ya 🎉❤
Wonderful video 😮❤....
Do difficult things and then get a long lasting dopamine .... I have tried it and restarting it.... Thanku so helpful video🙏🏻✅
That's what I needed from my mentor, my brother
Love from Tripura ❣️
Hi. So i watched this yesterday and did not open TH-cam the whole day. Thanks alot. It made my day qualitatively so much better. I opened the clock by habit at least 5-6 times. Anyway. I still did waste some time at night, but it was only for a few minutes. Since i couldn't use youtube (i don't use other social media apps anyway), i scrolled on my google explore page for a while lol) I will try and follow this for the remaining days until pre. Thanks Shivin :)
How to uninstall TH-cam?????????????????????????????????
You can disable it in settings though
Go in settings then search for apps go in the TH-cam section and then there would be a disable or force stop button just click it
@@aedukondallugogula1059 not in my phone
Don't
I used to disable youtube but then after a few days I again enabled it and this cycle is just never ending
I waste so many of my important time on youtube and then feel guilty about it but from now I will tey my best to improve. Thank you so much for this video sir.
As a person with ADHD and BPD, my brain is wired differently. There is dopamine deficiency and hence, broken reward system. I'm currently taking treatment but it is not helping. And then there is BPD which makes my emotions extreme and pain perception worse. It is a never ending cycle. I'm trying my best to be as normal as I can get with various medications and therapies. But I'm not sure how long it will take.
Just stick to a routine, because of the bpd thing you will have extremely good days and extremely bad days , trick is to cry and do it, rather than cry whole day and do nothing because we felt too sad...
And for the add thing i got a stopwatch and i keep my phone in other room, but since you have adhd , having a phone or not doesn't matter , you will get distracted more often. Having a timer helps, it helps you keep present...and keep water and something to munch on near you, so that you don't find an excuse to get up, keep the books and notes a bit organised and study area clean...these are some methods that helped me over yrs....but i still do get distracted a lot and finish a 2hr lecture in 3.5 hr... but these are the only ways that work...and also make a routine that you will stick to
@@banasreepaul4786 Well, I've tried almost everything to improve my focus. I've got stopwatch, bought a whole new study table, printer, etc. Only hard thing for me is sticking to a routine. My current meds help me in most of my daily chores but when it comes to study (which reqire too much mental effort), my brain makes me sleepy/tired. And if I try to force myself to do stuff at that time, I'll get physical pain (Somatic pain). For me, this pain is the worst part. It is something, I am working on with my psychiatrist to resolve.
@@The_Phoenix_61 see for me i have the same issues too, but you have to use trial and error method to find out what's best for you....i can't follow my routines either...but without a routine and goal to stick to my productivity falls further down...for the somatic pain issue ask your psychiatrist to show you some exercises and you can try cognitive behavioral therapy..i know its hard for people like us..but keep fighting, you will get through it ..
One of the best video on the topic
Loved it❤
