It's actually cool that everything we need is unified in one tool. At the same time, the profit-driven focus of tech giants forces smartphones to be designed in a way that makes us addicted, requiring us to limit our environment through self-nudging. I find this development dramatic, as smartphones have so much potential. I love the idea of carrying just one device.
Your best bet for that is probably having two phones then (one that allows "entertainment") or simply only use the distractions on other devices like computer or tablet. It is easy to doom scroll because you get trapped in the first place.
@@mikkel3135 yeah, i've decided on going the 2 phone route myself. I use 2 smartphones for my setup - I call 1 my "Focus Phone" and the other one is just my normal day-to-day phone. When I'm at work or when I want to be fully immersed in doing a task, I only carry the Focus Phone. The other one is what I use whenever I'm doing anything else.
I've been really out of it recently. school sucks and I seem to get no work done. After New Years my resolution was to be more productive, focus on school, yet build some cool shit throughout the year, and ur vids rlly help me get back on track :)
can you do a video on how you capture your monologue shots? I like the dof, shadow and black boosts, would love to know the sauce, you're my fav youtube ch rn
on the note of exercise video with whoop, i think since you've been lifting for 7 years, a guide to frictionless gym routine/easy optimization to be consistent could be a fun video!
hey, i really like the setup on your iphone mini. is there any chance you could give me your dumbify text size and spacing numbers that you have on yours? happy new years! 🎉
I would enjoy a video of your time visiting family in Asia. I will likely never travel to Asia, but to have an individual who I respect & appreciate give me a candid tour of his experience would be educational as well as enjoyable.
Ipod nano 7th still is awesome today, pro tip u can rearrange those homescreen icons by long pressing an icon and moving it when it starts to wiggle. Owner of red and grey nano 7th here
yooo I only have budget for a kindle idk if I should go for it, really want an e-reader appreciate you for carrying earplugs too lol I think it’s essential if one doesn’t have anc headphones
Hey Reysu, I've tried the spiral and the regular field notes, both are great but have you seen the 3x5 index card holder they offer? It can double as a wallet too!
Nice video!!!! you have no idea how I love your content!! + what type of loop is that? and does it blocks every sound like apple EarPods pro(I think u have it)
I used a kindle for 10 years and its actually great but this is more portable, I can install alternative apps like anki, and I can download books from the web directly on the device
@@reysuI just got a Palma 2 and it's a lot better for Japanese study just due to running on android. Getting yomichan running on that helps a lot with my light novel habit. I could import them to my Kindle, but the Kindle dictionaries just didn't cut it for me. Being small is great, but that android OS is 👌
Just buy a second hand iPhone, could be iPhone 12 mini and up. Since the phone will be very minimalistic and not doing any hard/difficult tasks the specs don’t really matter. Plus it’s way cheaper too!
"Hard to watch videos" my 13 mini for 2 years was my absolute favorite media consumption device lol, the small screen didnt bother me for videos, music sounded greaat, and with the grayscale filter I read a LOT (132) books on it happily, now I have a kindle and a galaxy s20fe, but I often do miss my iphone just a little bit since the 13 mini felt like a catchall device to me, definitely was horrible for my screentime though lol
@@reysu I really like it! It counts my sleep, steps etc, plus it's full color and the battery lasts about 6 days or so. The only thing I don't like is the lack of physical buttons...but for $30 I can't really complain!
Subscribed solely because you have a IPhone Mini, I did the same thing just to stop using my phone and deleted social media. Also, to motivate me can people call me a piece of shit just to motivate me?
apple watch or garmin?
apple watch it can just do more but garmin is great for a more minimalist approach
I chose the Apple Watch because it allows me to leave my phone at home since it supports LTE connectivity.
garminnnn
Garmin or a nice mechanical combined with a whoop band

two phones is interesting

Apple try iphone 12 and iphone 13 but they fail. Eveyone want a bigger phone now
bro working on 3hours of sleep is crazy, good video but also take care of yourself man

It’s really unhealthy, hope he recovers from this deadly lifestyle
Great video. But as the comments before, you need at least 6.5 hrs of sleep. 🙏🏾
@@AP-ex6qz my average sleep score is like 80-90%, it was a one off day
appreciate you tho 🙏
Protecting hearing is a must. I always bring earplugs with me too
any particular brand you use?

interesting idea
Great video! What pen are you using for the pocket notebook?
My same question. Great videos Reysu!
it's from a company called narwhalco
Never knew to put a pen in between the spines of a notebook. And glad you finally learned the word 裏側
LOL

kindle is solid, used it for a long time
Was that Vaundy on the ipod nano? ? 0:14
yess
fire first video of 2025
i'm currently waiting on my leuchtturm journal to arrive so i can start journaling :)
good luck on journaling!
nice video ! but how did you sync obsidian with your boox palma (google drive) and with your iPhone (iCloud) at the same time ?
I use obsidian sync now which is a lot easier to sync across my devices (it's $4/mo)
@@reysuoh i see ! thank you for the response
where can i buy an ipod nano?
ebay
Please tell or show how you set up your homescreen like this
i made a video on this
@@reysu do you have a link
Rip Pebble watch. May we get a true successor some day.
Can you link that airtag?
on etsy, search "Modified 3 mm Slim Apple AirTag Card for Wallet with Precision Finding, Replaceable Battery, and Speaker"
Hey Reysu, I've tried the spiral and the regular field notes, both are great but have you seen the 3x5 index card holder they offer? It can double as a wallet too!
i haven't seen that before but it looks cool! I'm afraid my cards would fall out though lol
Nice video!!!! you have no idea how I love your content!!
+ what type of loop is that?
and does it blocks every sound like apple EarPods pro(I think u have it)
tbh the loops one kinda sucks, I prefer the ones I used to use which are for musicians
Which system launcher do you use
called dumbify, I walk through it in the video how I reduced my screentime
Loved your video
thanks for watching :)
what is the name of that desk mat? 3:46
I'm not sure, I got it over 10 years ago
Why did you decide against Kindle?
I used a kindle for 10 years and its actually great but this is more portable, I can install alternative apps like anki, and I can download books from the web directly on the device

Any alternate of iphone mini? as it is not available now.
Just buy a second hand iPhone, could be iPhone 12 mini and up. Since the phone will be very minimalistic and not doing any hard/difficult tasks the specs don’t really matter. Plus it’s way cheaper too!
agree!
Bro i have tried to follow your steps to minimise but in Android I can't get TH-cam to delete and i get caught again and again in TH-cam loop
try using an app like screenzen and setting a schedule for youtube
Thanks man will do that right now@@reysu
you got this bro
Actually you can
How do you get the dumbify widget to not open the dumbify app before it goes to the app you want
turn on reduce motion in accessibility settings
how do you sync music on your ipod
just with finder on mac, pretty simple
@reysu and where do you download music from
@reysu can you please tell me in detail I realy want to use my ipod nano it's been in my drawer for years
The ultimate nerdy video would be about pens that fit in the notebook spine.
ahah I already made a nerdy vid about my pens
What is that launcher ?
dumbify - there might be other free ones that do the same thing
@reysu 🤙👌

aha interesting - I do think agree its nice for reading though, especially one handed
I use a small Pixel 3 phone, and a chinese Mi band smart watch (only like $30)! I sometimes bring a notebook around with me, too. Similar setups! ^_^
ooo how do you like the mi band
@@reysu I really like it! It counts my sleep, steps etc, plus it's full color and the battery lasts about 6 days or so. The only thing I don't like is the lack of physical buttons...but for $30 I can't really complain!
1:00 awesome
Hey, which earplugs are those?
Loops
@@goatwoolsocks3406i actually prefer the eartek pros on amazon over the loops which I think are overpriced
Thanks for sharing
What do you use to label your wallet? I’ve seen a similar tag design on jvscholz videos
i use dymo he uses a different brand
@@reysuthank you👊🏼
