I haven’t opened any social media platform since I watched your video sir , I’ve uninstalled many online games and insta and I felt much better , initially it’s tough but later on I felt much better after doing it . My takeaway from this video are 1) understand the dopamine patterns and the reason why you’ve addicted to it 2) Try to get dopamine through good hobbies 3) Avoid all social media platforms 4) Better to use a keypad phone 5) Stop checking the phone the moment you wake up 6) Try to browse anything in laptop rather than phone
Sir,i am 25 years old...i come from a lower middle class family...from my adulthood i have dreamt of giving upsc.. seeing my family condition,after graduation i started ssc then banking preparation...now if everything goes well i will become an officer in regional rural bank...sir, to be honest when i saw my scorecard of mains exam i knew that there is 90% chance that i will be selected and in that moment i was finally happy because now i can start my actual journey..i don't care if i will get selected or not..i just want to gain knowledge..that all encompassing knowledge that i can get from this exam..i am very excited for this..i have been watching your videos for a long time...being there in the main administrative body of the country..it is so nice of you that you find time for such students.I want to develop such personality.
Points to be followed 1 .happiness chemical dopamine 2 . rewarding pain instead of pleasure 3. Not to use mobiles early in the mornings and late nights. 4.turning off notifications if using any kind of social media. 5.having a hobby in free time in order to relax other than social media. Sir as per my understanding i learnt these from u i actually try to follow these in my day to day preparation to upsc but i fail after watchingur video i really took the challenge serious I can't say i did it 100% but upto my extent i max tried not using 95 percent . I hope the interaction with u might help me alot to move forward in my preparation. Ur really an inspiration to many and thank you sir
I didn't use social media app like youtube and whats app . I don't even used my phone for other activities. This gave me so much of self satisfaction . Thankyou so much sir
This Phone addiction is not only limited to UPSC aspirants. We can see almost in all the young generation getting addicted to their phone,distracting themselves from their study,career etc. Its becoming a huge problem.
I have completed my commitment.I didn't used any social media since last morning.😊 Steps suggested by you which I trying to imbibe in my daily routine 1) Trying to have least interaction on social media if possible delete them or turn off notifications 2)Figuring out the time when we are most craved for using phone 3) Trying to develop a hobby,meet our positive friends, have a silent walk with ourselves which we could replace with my unnecessary screen time 4) Reward ourselves after achieving every 🎯 targets even if it it very small.
Sir, yesterday I watched this video at 8:51 AM. I successfully completed 24 hr challenge 😊. Really a big thanks to you sir. Because, I used to study more than 8 hr a day, but for the last 40 days I wasn’t able meet my targets. But this video helps me to retain my power. Thank you so much sir.
Respected sir, I watched this video yesterday night and didn't open any social media platform for 24 hours. It was difficult but felt good after completing this challenge.
My learnings: 1.Dopamine or happiness chemical is the reason for cravings 2.Always keep notification off of social media apps 3.Find out the time slot when we use the mobile phone for insta etc. 4.Never use in the morning and late night 5.Train your mind for pain instead of pleasure 6.Check your surroundings Sir, actually I don't have any social media apps in my phone except what's app ( notification off always ) and telegram ( notification on only of important groups). And I use forest app while studying so that I don't touch the phone for those particular hours and when I complete that target it always gives positive feeling. Yes , I am accepting challenge.
I tried this challenge and successfully completed it with my reward pain. 1. I didn't use my phone last night before sleeping 2. I didn't use my phone( not even WhatsApp) when i woke up today. 3. I didn't use TH-cam shorts since last evening. At last, Thankyou so much Sir, im trying to stay committed with my given task and hope the best.
After watching your video i left my mobile in My UPSC residential academy itself. Now, belive me sir it's best thing ever happened with me like reading some spiritual Book 📚 for some time before slee and get sleep 😪. Now I on track thank you.
Thank you sir for realizing this horrible things which damaging us ..yesterday morning i saw your video and accepted 😅your challenge..it's literally quite tough but i done it...i was study only by books and now i also realize that i loss my books readings habits..thank you again ❤
I watched this video yesterday at around 5:15 pm and since then until now I did not open my any social media app. In the end I am happy and more focused than yesterday
Sir I literally switched off my phone for 10 days and kept in cupboard. Initial 3,4 days I was irritated because of not having phone but after 5th day I feel more focused, clam mind ,stopped overthinking of unnecessary things and I also used to do meditation which helped me to look around myself,my strength and weakness and it boosted me very much... Sir I will be very grateful to meet you as I also live in Mumbai 🙏❤
Sir I'm 20, you really suggested a good advice. I don't have insta or twitter or facebook but sometime I used to watch utube shorts (that's also the same thing) but liked that you told not to look at morning into ur 📱 but at night and I actually no need of E-mail Id 😅 right now but may be later. Thanks not only for making youth aware but also to give better pleasure and healthy life, keep focused on the things that we actually needed. I will definitely try and make it MY HABIT.😊 GREAT APPLAUD 🎉 TO U FOR CARING US.... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED 🙂 (I've been following u since 2 yr. Back when I passed 12th and just only waits for ur videos😅)❤❤
Respected Sir, I watched this video yesterday at around 12:10 pm and since then until now I did not open my youtube or any other social media app.I have to admit it was more difficult than I thought it would be. But in the end I am happy and more focused than yesterday.❤
Sir, I'm in BA First Semester : English Major. I've started my preparation almost 7 months ago. I really loved your videos. As I don't have any social media accounts ; so I think I've less addiction than others. But, your this lecture helped me HOW TO MAINTAIN THE ELECTRONIC ENVIRONMENT AROUND US. And, truly it worked out. Thanks a lot sir.
Respected Sir, I watched this video yesterday at around 12:10 pm and since then until now I did not open my youtube or any other social media app. While watching this video I wrote some key points on my sticky notes. I have to admit it was more difficult than I thought it would be. But in the end I am happy and more focused than yesterday 🙏
Did it. Watched it around 12: 40 pm yesterday and didn't open any Social Media app or TH-cam untill 1:00 pm today. I used WhatsApp to check messages..I'll be honest, but not more than for 10 minutes. This is not enough, have to do it everyday. Have to minimise it to the least. Putting it here to motivate myself. Thanks sir! Hope you have a great day!
I have deleted almost all social media apps, only telegram and you tube. Spending too much time on you tube. I am thinking of deleting TH-cam also. I was troubled by this addiction for a long time. thanks for giving such great information.
Thank u so much sir... I opened TH-cam now for putting 'not interested' on videos that i spent too much time. In every morning i wake up with taking a promise that not spend too much time on phone...but its actually not works properly...but now for me its a coincidence... Your video!!! I watched the full video without skipping any part... Because for me its something that i need for this situation...thank u sir❣️
sir, I have watched this video as of now, and I am extending this challenge for 48 hours and even after that I will try to minimise its uses to the least. Thankyou sir, my preparation was going well but using social media was the biggest setback thankyou
Thank you sir. I have tried this for more than 24hrs. I am feeling more connected to myself, a unique sense od peace and calmness. It actually broke the inertia of realization.
Sir,it's now 24 hrs and I didn't used any social media except some imp wp educational messages from my college and my parent's wp video call ,and I am very happy that I accepted and managed to complete the challenge Thank you so much sir 🙏🏻
Hello sir good afternoon I had seen your video yesterday near about 11:45 and now it is more than 24 hours I feel very energetic and also spend time with family and studied more than as usual also several time I feel like using phone but controlled myself I will continue this because it is very helpful I not used any social media apps even you tube and WhatsApp also disabled all notifications which are useless Thank you sir
I accept the challenge from now till tomorrow i didn't get to use my phone.. actually I'm only addicted to youtube... . Mute notification of TH-cam . don't use phone in the morning and also not at bed time . just exploring something else which give me happiness . Follow any hobbies . Reward your self . Not need to motivation video . Just focus on your self. Thank you sir...😅🙏🙏
Sir, I have just shifted to my hostel where I don't have a phone. Earlier I used to have at my home where I was addicted to it. My entire morning productivity used to get wasted because that. Now, I keep a laptop with me but still somewhere addicted to youtube videos. I have accepted 💯the challenge sir.
Challenge completed sir👍...what I learnt from this video...now a days lot of informations are available in social media but 30 mins shorts will never help to clear the exams because recalling is the vital role for examination but if we recalling the short we use mobile again so distract easily...whatever 1 time writting practice is powerfull than 10 times reading...if we avoid this addiction just avoid the soft copies highly preferred hard copies...
Challenge completed sir. I haven't used any social media apps since after i watched this video yesterday. It was harder that I thought. But it was worth it. Thankyou sir. I'll keep challenging myself and will try to keep phone away from the study atmosphere. Thankyou sir
Hello Sir , I have been using this strategy from past few days. It has greatly helped me the one more thing i did was i installed screen timer app to record and track my usage on daily basis. Thankyou for the wonderful information🙂
I uninstalled social media 3 days before only I realised I was wasting more time on social media sir . Now I’m feeling good after seeing this video that I did right thing ❤ Thank you so much sir for your guidance. Keep guiding us sir❤
I saw video till the end without skipping anything and I accepted the challenge...... And I did it 🥳🥳🥳🥳I didn't used any social media after watching your video..... Moreover I don't have any social media accounts except WhatsApp and telegram ( notification off ) I didn't used TH-cam as well... I'm feeling happy sir tq sir for this wonderful video 🥰🥰😇
Good Afternoon sir. I saw your video yesterday at around noon and immediately put the phone aside. Completed the day’s target but had slight deviation at around bed time. This morning I just turned off the alarm and didn’t indulge with the phone. Completed 50% of the daily targets by now and took this moment to thank you for your advice. Picking up books in the morning too gave a dopamine boost and I could complete things in a flow. Thank you so much once again! Regards, Siddhant K Banerjee
Sir, I've completed this 24 hrs challenge , although I am not on any of the social media but still TH-cam was some sort of distraction for me . All in all I'm happy that I saved that time as well. It really worked for me. Thankyou 😊
hello sir, I tried commitment you gave ,to be honest i didnot use social media till now ,though mistakenly opend one time but closed before refreshing page .and i use youtube only for the study purpose to watch current video lectures..You always motivate me .thank you sir.
Sir, I have completed the task of avoiding social media for 24 hours. It was tough to not open TH-cam for a whole day as it's the only social media that I use but that made me realise how addicted I am to TH-cam. I hope to get rid of this addiction and channel that time and energy to a more profound preparation of UPSC under your guidance.
Respected sir, I watched this video a day before yesterday and i admit that i failed to stop myself from opening social media aap but i tried again and from yesterday morning i didn't open any social media aap. Now I'm happy and and more focused. Thank you sir.
I watched this video of yours yesterday morning when I woke up. I haven’t logged in to any social media app except WhatsApp (work stuff) since then. Today morning when I woke up, for the first time in ages I did not check for my mobile until it was time to leave for office. Thank you for the positive reinforcement sir 🙇🏻♂️
I too suffer from washroom syndrome😂. Uninstalled insta ,fb after delhi riots, hated tik tok.but the youtube shorts got me. But there is hope. I planted some veggies and fruit plants, take care of them in my free time. Still a long way to go from youtube shorts. Sir said the right thing about going for a walk, or just sitting with yourself. If possible, grow some plants. The new growths always makes you happy and you never feel boredom.
I did it not just 24 hrs but more than 30 hours without youtube.. And shockingly, where I was spending all my data limit in a single day, I only spent afew mbs yesterday .. Thank you, sir!
Accept the challenge sir 👍 After 24 hour. Sir I completed but now slightly watch TH-cam for only morning news . And WhatsApp for a necessary message but don't over time to use . Yahhh it is a good feel and you said it true many more times to urge my mind to use mobile but I'm sincerely aware and I'm only listening to my thoughts so it actually helps to cut down my unnecessary thought for using my mobile . Thank you sir. I know I'm not getting from your mail id but meet one day IAS officer . ❤

Sir I complete the challenge I don't use mobile for day after I watched your video. In that day thought coming in mind continuously, I feel I waste lot of time in my life so thanks for video
Yes I have kept my promise of not using phone in the early morning and till now I have completed the 5 hrs of effective study ( measured on forest app ). Ty
Sir I have uninstalled Instagram and Twitter. And yesterday I tried to not open any social media apps. I only checked WhatsApp twice in the whole day. And I'm having a true sense of accomplishment. Thankyou for this video
Thank You sir for Your Guidance... I regularly following your content which are very helpful for my UPSC Preparation... Most wanted video sir , Thanks for it because Now a days, I knew it ,addicted to social media and mentally exhausted still unable to control the using of social media especially TH-cam and 3 to 4 hrs a day even before i followed others methods which u mentioned on video such as No social media apps , not using phone at washroom and set timer for app screen but while eating the food ,watching the social media that made hours on phone... , Finally, Thank you so much for being my Accountability partner from yesterday evening I saw your video and accepted your challenge and finished it .....😇
Firstly thank you very much sir for your valuable words. 24 hours challenge to stay away from phone and social media is really worked. Before this challenge : As prelims getting closer i am rush in reading without analysing the outcome and just completing my targets and in between i took breaks and i spend it watching youtube. After challenge: After reading few hours i realise that important topics and related data is getting from newspaper and that data has a link with static syllabus given by upsc and the learning is tested with previous year questions and mocks. Every one knows it sir but i got that connection when i think it clearly and also noticed how this online content makes too much dependent on it without refering the static books. But online resources are aslo helpful but not to depend too much on it. I noticed the gaps in between my classes and schedule. I utilise that break time in walking. From the last 24 hours, i learnt that i am spending my break time in youtube shorts which are not useful. Thankyou very much sir 😊
Dear Sir, I have completed the challenge(task) you gave us. It's nearly 24 hours since I watched your video. Some key points from my experience 1. Uninstalling the Instagram and Twitter apps really works. It's a million times better to use them in the browser as the browser is not as streamlined as the applications. 2. I have been doing this for a long time, and it works like a charm. It is using WhatsApp on a laptop and using a button phone for daily use. With the current update, Whatsapp allows the user to use Whatsapp on a laptop even when the phone is not connected. Aspirants should make use of it 3. Rewarding myself after a period of not using my phone is the smartest technique out there. Thank you, Sir, for telling us this. 4. I mapped my phone usage, and the trend I got is more or less the same as told by you. I restricted my use of phone in the morning and before sleeping Regardless of the incentive(though waiting for it ;) ), thank you sir for making us aware of this aspect.
@ManujJindalIAS Good Evening sir. I was bit late in reaching to this video, but i was thrilled while i was listening to it as most of your points like promise ourselves, delete social media accounts, etc. are in my practice. 1 year prior to my preparation I have deleted my Instagram account with app and till now i didn't install thinking in mind to start using it only after i get success in UPSC and i dont have twitter account till now. Only social media accounts using now is whatsapp and TH-cam, where whatsapp usage is very low but not same with TH-cam. I'm trying to minimise it from past 3 months where i got only limited success. The previous day i watched this video and i didn't use whatsapp for this whole day and TH-cam i need to use tonight for news purpose. I'm taking up this challenge to use TH-cam only for UPSC related. Thank you for your great words and continuous motivation.

Thank you for challenging us in the right direction
Thank you for this video sir❤❤….I completed the challenge and feel so good about it…I am a postal dept employee and preparing for UPSC sir i used to watch youtube shorts but after watching this video i tried my best to control myself from using social media for the past 4 days…and I feel i am getting control over my time for more productive use…

Good morning sir... One thing I understood was unless we are DETERMINED not to use our phones, we can't stop it. Most of the days even after scheduling the whole day I would end up staying up late in the night because I'll think that I've studied for the whole day now why can't I enjoy the ''me time'' but last night was not the same... I slept at 11 and in the morning I'm awake now @6... I believe that one day I'll become an IAS OFFICER and share all my experience with you sir❤
sir i watched video yesterday 3 pm.and i have not used any social media platforms till now ..And will continue to do the same.And i am already feeling much better sir....🙏Thank you so much sir

I haven’t opened any social media platform since I watched your video sir , I’ve uninstalled many online games and insta and I felt much better , initially it’s tough but later on I felt much better after doing it .
My takeaway from this video are
1) understand the dopamine patterns and the reason why you’ve addicted to it
2) Try to get dopamine through good hobbies
3) Avoid all social media platforms
4) Better to use a keypad phone
5) Stop checking the phone the moment you wake up
6) Try to browse anything in laptop rather than phone

Points to be followed

2 . rewarding pain instead of pleasure
3. Not to use mobiles early in the mornings and late nights.
4.turning off notifications if using any kind of social media.

This Phone addiction is not only limited to UPSC aspirants. We can see almost in all the young generation getting addicted to their phone,distracting themselves from their study,career etc. Its becoming a huge problem.
I have completed my commitment.I didn't used any social media since last morning.😊
Steps suggested by you which I trying to imbibe in my daily routine
1) Trying to have least interaction on social media if possible delete them or turn off notifications
2)Figuring out the time when we are most craved for using phone
3) Trying to develop a hobby,meet our positive friends, have a silent walk with ourselves which we could replace with my unnecessary screen time
4) Reward ourselves after achieving every 🎯 targets even if it it very small.

Respected sir, I watched this video yesterday night and didn't open any social media platform for 24 hours. It was difficult but felt good after completing this challenge.
My learnings:
1.Dopamine or happiness chemical is the reason for cravings
2.Always keep notification off of social media apps
3.Find out the time slot when we use the mobile phone for insta etc.
4.Never use in the morning and late night
5.Train your mind for pain instead of pleasure
6.Check your surroundings
Sir, actually I don't have any social media apps in my phone except what's app ( notification off always ) and telegram ( notification on only of important groups). And I use forest app while studying so that I don't touch the phone for those particular hours and when I complete that target it always gives positive feeling. Yes , I am accepting challenge.
❤
I tried this challenge and successfully completed it with my reward pain.
1. I didn't use my phone last night before sleeping
2. I didn't use my phone( not even WhatsApp) when i woke up today.
3. I didn't use TH-cam shorts since last evening.
At last, Thankyou so much Sir, im trying to stay committed with my given task and hope the best.
Opening youtube for the first time since yesterday just to comment that I followed every instruction given by sir.
After watching your video i left my mobile in My UPSC residential academy itself. Now, belive me sir it's best thing ever happened with me like reading some spiritual Book 📚 for some time before slee and get sleep 😪. Now I on track thank you.
Thank you sir for realizing this horrible things which damaging us ..yesterday morning i saw your video and accepted 😅your challenge..it's literally quite tough but i done it...i was study only by books and now i also realize that i loss my books readings habits..thank you again ❤
I watched this video yesterday at around 5:15 pm and since then until now I did not open my any social media app. In the end I am happy and more focused than yesterday
Sir I literally switched off my phone for 10 days and kept in cupboard. Initial 3,4 days I was irritated because of not having phone but after 5th day I feel more focused, clam mind ,stopped overthinking of unnecessary things and I also used to do meditation which helped me to look around myself,my strength and weakness and it boosted me very much...
Sir I will be very grateful to meet you as I also live in Mumbai 🙏❤
Sir I'm 20, you really suggested a good advice. I don't have insta or twitter or facebook but sometime I used to watch utube shorts (that's also the same thing) but liked that you told not to look at morning into ur 📱 but at night and I actually no need of E-mail Id 😅 right now but may be later. Thanks not only for making youth aware but also to give better pleasure and healthy life, keep focused on the things that we actually needed. I will definitely try and make it MY HABIT.😊
GREAT APPLAUD 🎉 TO U FOR CARING US.... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED 🙂 (I've been following u since 2 yr. Back when I passed 12th and just only waits for ur videos😅)❤❤
Here after exactly 24 hrs... Ty sir 😊
Sir I didn't use any social media app yesterday. I felt a bit bored and I slept on time and I was able to wake up early today. Thank you✨😊
Respected Sir,
I watched this video yesterday at around 12:10 pm and since then until now I did not open my youtube or any other social media app.I have to admit it was more difficult than I thought it would be. But in the end I am happy and more focused than yesterday.❤
Sir, I'm in BA First Semester : English Major. I've started my preparation almost 7 months ago. I really loved your videos. As I don't have any social media accounts ; so I think I've less addiction than others. But, your this lecture helped me HOW TO MAINTAIN THE ELECTRONIC ENVIRONMENT AROUND US. And, truly it worked out. Thanks a lot sir.
The "Reward" 🎉 Timer set-up strategy to give us the full dose of the Remedy, u applied for first time is so amazing SIR😀
Respected Sir,
I watched this video yesterday at around 12:10 pm and since then until now I did not open my youtube or any other social media app. While watching this video I wrote some key points on my sticky notes. I have to admit it was more difficult than I thought it would be. But in the end I am happy and more focused than yesterday 🙏
Unfortunately this priceless lesson we are getting through phone for 20 min... 😢jai hind sir... Thanks you took out time for this too😮🇮🇳🙏
If it can save hours, why not 20 minutes?
Did it. Watched it around 12: 40 pm yesterday and didn't open any Social Media app or TH-cam untill 1:00 pm today. I used WhatsApp to check messages..I'll be honest, but not more than for 10 minutes. This is not enough, have to do it everyday. Have to minimise it to the least. Putting it here to motivate myself. Thanks sir! Hope you have a great day!
I have deleted almost all social media apps, only telegram and you tube. Spending too much time on you tube. I am thinking of deleting TH-cam also. I was troubled by this addiction for a long time. thanks for giving such great information.
Thank u so much sir... I opened TH-cam now for putting 'not interested' on videos that i spent too much time. In every morning i wake up with taking a promise that not spend too much time on phone...but its actually not works properly...but now for me its a coincidence... Your video!!! I watched the full video without skipping any part... Because for me its something that i need for this situation...thank u sir❣️
sir, I have watched this video as of now, and I am extending this challenge for 48 hours and even after that I will try to minimise its uses to the least. Thankyou sir, my preparation was going well but using social media was the biggest setback thankyou
21 year old. Now I am starting upsc preparation for 2025 with Hindi medium 😊😊
Thank you sir 🙏
Thank you sir. I have tried this for more than 24hrs. I am feeling more connected to myself, a unique sense od peace and calmness. It actually broke the inertia of realization.
Sir,it's now 24 hrs and I didn't used any social media except some imp wp educational messages from my college and my parent's wp video call ,and I am very happy that I accepted and managed to complete the challenge
Thank you so much sir 🙏🏻
Hello sir good afternoon
I had seen your video yesterday near about 11:45 and now it is more than 24 hours I feel very energetic and also spend time with family and studied more than as usual also several time I feel like using phone but controlled myself I will continue this because it is very helpful I not used any social media apps even you tube and WhatsApp also disabled all notifications which are useless
Thank you sir
I accept the challenge from now till tomorrow i didn't get to use my phone.. actually I'm only addicted to youtube...
. Mute notification of TH-cam
. don't use phone in the morning and also not at bed time
. just exploring something else which give me happiness
. Follow any hobbies
. Reward your self
. Not need to motivation video
. Just focus on your self.
Thank you sir...😅🙏🙏
Sir, I have just shifted to my hostel where I don't have a phone. Earlier I used to have at my home where I was addicted to it. My entire morning productivity used to get wasted because that.
Now, I keep a laptop with me but still somewhere addicted to youtube videos.
I have accepted 💯the challenge sir.
sir I have not used my phone for social media or any distracting apps since yesterday, when I watched your video
Challenge completed sir👍...what I learnt from this video...now a days lot of informations are available in social media but 30 mins shorts will never help to clear the exams because recalling is the vital role for examination but if we recalling the short we use mobile again so distract easily...whatever 1 time writting practice is powerfull than 10 times reading...if we avoid this addiction just avoid the soft copies highly preferred hard copies...
Challenge completed sir. I haven't used any social media apps since after i watched this video yesterday. It was harder that I thought. But it was worth it. Thankyou sir. I'll keep challenging myself and will try to keep phone away from the study atmosphere. Thankyou sir
From the past two days i studied well without using any social media and mobile phone felt much better and I felt a peace .Thank you Sir 🎉
Hello Sir , I have been using this strategy from past few days. It has greatly helped me the one more thing i did was i installed screen timer app to record and track my usage on daily basis. Thankyou for the wonderful information🙂
I uninstalled social media 3 days before only I realised I was wasting more time on social media sir . Now I’m feeling good after seeing this video that I did right thing ❤ Thank you so much sir for your guidance. Keep guiding us sir❤
Thats the problem actually.When we try to suppress those urges we will do it 2x or 3x
I saw video till the end without skipping anything and I accepted the challenge...... And I did it 🥳🥳🥳🥳I didn't used any social media after watching your video..... Moreover I don't have any social media accounts except WhatsApp and telegram ( notification off ) I didn't used TH-cam as well... I'm feeling happy sir tq sir for this wonderful video 🥰🥰😇
Good Afternoon sir. I saw your video yesterday at around noon and immediately put the phone aside. Completed the day’s target but had slight deviation at around bed time.
This morning I just turned off the alarm and didn’t indulge with the phone. Completed 50% of the daily targets by now and took this moment to thank you for your advice. Picking up books in the morning too gave a dopamine boost and I could complete things in a flow.
Thank you so much once again!
Regards,
Siddhant K Banerjee
Sir, I've completed this 24 hrs challenge , although I am not on any of the social media but still TH-cam was some sort of distraction for me . All in all I'm happy that I saved that time as well. It really worked for me.
Thankyou 😊
hello sir, I tried commitment you gave ,to be honest i didnot use social media till now ,though mistakenly opend one time but closed before refreshing page .and i use youtube only for the study purpose to watch current video lectures..You always motivate me .thank you sir.
Sir, I have completed the task of avoiding social media for 24 hours. It was tough to not open TH-cam for a whole day as it's the only social media that I use but that made me realise how addicted I am to TH-cam. I hope to get rid of this addiction and channel that time and energy to a more profound preparation of UPSC under your guidance.
Did you got the mail
@@rinshypa7471 nope. I don't think anyone got it.
Respected sir,
I watched this video a day before yesterday and i admit that i failed to stop myself from opening social media aap but i tried again and from yesterday morning i didn't open any social media aap. Now I'm happy and and more focused.
Thank you sir.
I watched this video of yours yesterday morning when I woke up. I haven’t logged in to any social media app except WhatsApp (work stuff) since then.
Today morning when I woke up, for the first time in ages I did not check for my mobile until it was time to leave for office.
Thank you for the positive reinforcement sir 🙇🏻♂️
Back here after more than 25 hrs..thank you very much for this video. It was great to spend time away from youtube. A little tough but worth it.
I too suffer from washroom syndrome😂.
Uninstalled insta ,fb after delhi riots, hated tik tok.but the youtube shorts got me.
But there is hope. I planted some veggies and fruit plants, take care of them in my free time. Still a long way to go from youtube shorts.
Sir said the right thing about going for a walk, or just sitting with yourself.
If possible, grow some plants. The new growths always makes you happy and you never feel boredom.
I did it not just 24 hrs but more than 30 hours without youtube..
And shockingly, where I was spending all my data limit in a single day, I only spent afew mbs yesterday ..
Thank you, sir!
Accept the challenge sir 👍
After 24 hour.
Sir I completed but now slightly watch TH-cam for only morning news . And WhatsApp for a necessary message but don't over time to use . Yahhh it is a good feel and you said it true many more times to urge my mind to use mobile but I'm sincerely aware and I'm only listening to my thoughts so it actually helps to cut down my unnecessary thought for using my mobile . Thank you sir. I know I'm not getting from your mail id but meet one day IAS officer . ❤

Sir I complete the challenge I don't use mobile for day after I watched your video.
In that day thought coming in mind continuously, I feel I waste lot of time in my life so thanks for video
Sir I was able abstain myself from social media for 24 hours and commented now as instructed by you hoping to get the reward😍
I saw this video before week and this entire week I didn't use phone, and I will continue it. Thank you so much for this video
Yes I have kept my promise of not using phone in the early morning and till now I have completed the 5 hrs of effective study ( measured on forest app ). Ty
Sir I have uninstalled Instagram and Twitter. And yesterday I tried to not open any social media apps. I only checked WhatsApp twice in the whole day. And I'm having a true sense of accomplishment. Thankyou for this video
IAS officers should be like this . Serve the nation in this way . Really ground to earth❤
Thank You sir for Your Guidance... I regularly following your content which are very helpful for my UPSC Preparation...
Most wanted video sir , Thanks for it because Now a days, I knew it ,addicted to social media and mentally exhausted still unable to control the using of social media especially TH-cam and 3 to 4 hrs a day even before i followed others methods which u mentioned on video such as No social media apps , not using phone at washroom and set timer for app screen but while eating the food ,watching the social media that made hours on phone... ,
Finally, Thank you so much for being my Accountability partner from yesterday evening I saw your video and accepted your challenge and finished it .....😇
Firstly thank you very much sir for your valuable words.
24 hours challenge to stay away from phone and social media is really worked. Before this challenge : As prelims getting closer i am rush in reading without analysing the outcome and just completing my targets and in between i took breaks and i spend it watching youtube.
After challenge: After reading few hours i realise that important topics and related data is getting from newspaper and that data has a link with static syllabus given by upsc and the learning is tested with previous year questions and mocks. Every one knows it sir but i got that connection when i think it clearly and also noticed how this online content makes too much dependent on it without refering the static books. But online resources are aslo helpful but not to depend too much on it.
I noticed the gaps in between my classes and schedule.
I utilise that break time in walking.
From the last 24 hours, i learnt that i am spending my break time in youtube shorts which are not useful.
Thankyou very much sir 😊
Dear Sir,
I have completed the challenge(task) you gave us. It's nearly 24 hours since I watched your video. Some key points from my experience
1. Uninstalling the Instagram and Twitter apps really works. It's a million times better to use them in the browser as the browser is not as streamlined as the applications.
2. I have been doing this for a long time, and it works like a charm. It is using WhatsApp on a laptop and using a button phone for daily use. With the current update, Whatsapp allows the user to use Whatsapp on a laptop even when the phone is not connected. Aspirants should make use of it
3. Rewarding myself after a period of not using my phone is the smartest technique out there. Thank you, Sir, for telling us this.
4. I mapped my phone usage, and the trend I got is more or less the same as told by you. I restricted my use of phone in the morning and before sleeping
Regardless of the incentive(though waiting for it ;) ), thank you sir for making us aware of this aspect.
@ManujJindalIAS Good Evening sir.
I was bit late in reaching to this video, but i was thrilled while i was listening to it as most of your points like promise ourselves, delete social media accounts, etc. are in my practice.
1 year prior to my preparation I have deleted my Instagram account with app and till now i didn't install thinking in mind to start using it only after i get success in UPSC and i dont have twitter account till now.
Only social media accounts using now is whatsapp and TH-cam, where whatsapp usage is very low but not same with TH-cam. I'm trying to minimise it from past 3 months where i got only limited success. The previous day i watched this video and i didn't use whatsapp for this whole day and TH-cam i need to use tonight for news purpose. I'm taking up this challenge to use TH-cam only for UPSC related.
Thank you for your great words and continuous motivation.
Hello Sir , my self Aayush and I am in my 1 st year of BA and preparing for CSE along with it .I have watched youur entire video till end twice . I am not on any social media , I had jio cinema and hotstar which I deleted right after your video .

Steps suggested by you:
1.promise ourselves or make a resolution mentally to accept the heavenly difficulty in thus preparation.Make master of your brain
2.Rewarding ourselves after the pain
3. Figuring out phone using times and eliminate them to possible extent
4. Deleting social media or addiction apps
5. Using some hidden apps
6. Finding some hobby.
I accepted your challenge and changing my mobile.Also I haven't used mobile today.

Hello sir
I watched you video yesterday and switched my phone off immediately, and kept it in the cupboard (away from my sight)
I was reminded of something but i hold the urge and now i am here after 24 hrs
I restarted it to comment and will switch it off again,
Really, yesterday was so peaceful, even i did mediation after so long, otherwise i used to scoll news on phone thinking they're helping me.
Thank you for challenging us in the right direction

Thank you so much sir . 😊
Sir I'm watching your video on TH-cam since 2019 onwards..... My day starts with nature🌿🍃 even don't look phone any call any msg..... Bez of want to see my name in UPSC PDF but some time I'm spending on screening.. Thank you.. For guiding us....
Good morning sir... One thing I understood was unless we are DETERMINED not to use our phones, we can't stop it. Most of the days even after scheduling the whole day I would end up staying up late in the night because I'll think that I've studied for the whole day now why can't I enjoy the ''me time'' but last night was not the same... I slept at 11 and in the morning I'm awake now @6... I believe that one day I'll become an IAS OFFICER and share all my experience with you sir❤
I take the challenge. Getting rid of the phone is the most easiest thing for me.
sir i watched video yesterday 3 pm.and i have not used any social media platforms till now ..And will continue to do the same.And i am already feeling much better sir....🙏Thank you so much sir
