Im all for screen-less time for most of my days. My boyfriend and I deleted social media due to many relationships being compared to on Twitter with high expectations ;which ultimately harms other relationships. Not only relationships, but we found we spend so much time watching other peoples lives, comparing ourselves to others and neglecting our own time on earth. We stay with TH-cam to obviously entertain with videos but Im glad more and more people are realizing how harmful screen-time is. For him, he spends an hour on his phone, 30 minutes in the morning after breakfast, and 30 minutes before bed, and occasional texts messages throughout the day. And throughout the course of us doing this the past year it has widened our perspective dramatically and helped us appreciate not only life, but time, friendships, and family. Love your videos, I'm glad people on here can agree on these types of subjects.
I'm currently on my 11th day of social media detox because of you, Matt. Not yet close to the 30th day but I'm already getting the benefits, such as preoccupying my time with the things I love to do (e. g. working out, jogging, meditation, reading books and bible everyday, more time with my family, going to church every Sunday and of course, watching your videos lol). It really helped in improving my life, I compare myself less to other people, I build real connections and I'm starting to feel better about myself. Keep doing quality content, Matt. You inspire so many people.
matt i think you should start monetizing your youtube videos and then reducing your patreon price cause $12 is kind of a lot. I dont think any of us are going to mind ads :)
I don’t think it was because people don’t like ads I think it’s just because with the whole copy strike issue and the demonetization explosion he doesn’t want to be dependent on TH-cam for his wellbeing
Matthew Cross he’s always been doing youtube without monetization because he doesn’t want to rely on getting money from youtube. He currently lives his life without the need of it, which is great because if he ever somehow has to, youtube can become his backup income
I'm from Tanzania, Africa at age 21 Matt D'Avella you're inspiring me to become an ideal person with goodness of nature every single day. I'm in a pursuit to 3:30hrs screen time everyday slowly reducing it from 6hrs.
I deleted all social media for an entire year. It was awesome, but I noticed how much time my friends/roommates/classmates spent on their phones when we were just waiting around for a movie to start, class to start, etc. or just hanging out. I’d look around and be the only one not on my phone sometimes. At first it was hard when everyone in the group is checking their social media accounts besides me... because I didn’t know what to do with myself, so I downloaded ebooks through the library and read a book while everyone else did this.. 🤷🏼♀️ eventually I got more comfortable with just being in the moment, but I definitely realized how much everyone else is glued to their screens.
Man, Your videos are so smooth, audio is so soft, calm til the end; i can't describe! But i can watch your videos all day long... Your channel is one of my top 5 favorite TH-cam Channel
Hey Matt, what I specifically do to reduce screen time is - I have set automated turn on and off setup on my phone, so that my phone (Android) turns on at 5.30pm and turns off by 8.30am (only during lecture day) so that I can concentrate on my studies, also I have hid social media instead of uninstalling them so that I don't frequently use social media. I am figuring out how to turn my screen into grayscale hope I'll succeed in it. Thanks Matt.
reducing screen time is hard when your work depends on photoshop and typing using a computer but i hope to reduce my endless scrolling screen time and use that time for work that i need to get done or have been putting off. I really appreciate you provide steps big and small because a small change can make a big difference.
Android users can use two apps for minimising screen time: 1) Less Phone - A launcher which let's you use only three apps which at a time which you can set and the phone app. 2)Daysise - This app batches different notifications which you receive notifications in batches or together. You can set the time when you want to receive the notifications.
I really like the B&W color trick. I have an Android and I was searching how to do it, and found one easy way without installing any software and that maybe works on any device (at least if you have Nougat, Oreo or Pie installed): 1. Enable Developer options (check on Google how to do it). 2. Search the option labeled "Simulate color space". 3. Select Monochromacy. And that's it. I haven't checked if you can add a shortcut, but I think that it's better.
Hey! Hello I am one of your Subs Just to tell, (even if you already know) Your videos are great and alway made me question my mentality i.e. changing it to better Thanks Sir
For people using devices prior to iPhone X , create the accessibility shortcut by pressing the home button, thrice. Thank You Matt, been a great help, to reduce Screentime.
Great advice! I put all of my apps into one folder and put the non-entertainment ones on the first page. This way when I open my phone I don’t just open one of the first apps I see... unless I’m checking the weather.
I literally gave up my phone, got my mom's old, broken dead ass phone and I still managed to get my addicted self to keep checking twitter and TH-cam on this. Then I also started doing that on my laptop. Sigh... I have gotten so addicted that I literally feel my brain loading and exhausting, can't even open my eyes properly :/ I feel like it's a sign of depression, but thanks to this video, I'm really going to try all those steps from tomorrow and let's hope I get outta this and make my life better. Thanks Matt, you're doing amazing job.
my screens are my books , my life , my everything. 4 hrs of screen time sounds like a joke . some advice here would really be appreciated . i think the main aim is to reduce screen time used for entertainment or wasting time. please make a video on how to manage screen time
Matt - can I just say, I love your videos, and I would never be mad if you wanted to monetize them?! Everyone else does, and you DESERVE those proceeds.
One great tip is to use the TH-cam scheduled digest. Its simple, undistracting and you can set a time after youve done your work. Turning off email notifications is also great.
Hi Matt. Congrats on the upcoming 100th podcast video. Going into the future can you please try to bring people like MKBHD,Peter McKinnon,Casey in the podcast. Would love to see you have a conversation with them.
Yes man please make podcast with them and also with Hank and John green as they are also very inspiring and after that (may fell to large ) I would say try to bring 'Elon musk' just can't imagine how he manage his time.
Found this video just now but it's really helpful :) me and my husband ,we also leave the phone in the living room every night before sleep ,and we put our phones down at Saturday night and pick it up again on the Monday morning, doesn't mean that we don't watch a movie or a video on Sunday :) it's very refreshing and freeing not to worry about "outside world " for a day and just focus on us and our family :)
I decided to sort all my social media into a separate box on my iphone and purposefully dragged it to my second page on my phone. So that when I open my iphone if I am feeling bored instead of opening social media, I distract myself with game, or other apps suchs as Online Journal, Meditation,App etc :) Thanks for the Video

I personally set app limits. I will get a reminder that blocks the whole screen on the app that I have filled up my amounted hours. Getting this reminder helps me rethink whether I need to be on the app anymore. I personally have cut like two hours of screen time from this.

This week I've started a new habit. From 6 p.m until the next morning, I turn off my phone and now I spend my nights reading books. My husband awakes earlier than me, so he can wake me up :)
From time to time I deactivate timeline/newsfeed on Facebook and only use messenger app for staying in touch with people. I don't know how it helps with reducing screentime as I still use Instagram and other social media sites, but for me it's about reducing the amount of useless information I get exposed to daily through Facebook. I honestly feel calmer and freer when my FB timeline is deactivated.
some small tips (more like add ons) - I used to have ALL my email addresses on my phone (private, university, even spam email address where I get like amazon delivery updates etc). I deleted all apart from private. I deleted all messenger apps apart from Telegram because my best friend and boyfriend use them (and I just like the most). The rest can either get it too or reach me on facebook (which I dont have on my phone. if its urgent they can CALL). I follow only a few people on instagram - people I am REALLY interested in. On average I only get 10 new pics in my instadeed per day so there really is no point checking in often or scrolling for ever
I found a good way to make sure I shut off the computer on time every night if the next day is a work day. I bought a smart plug and set it to turn off my PC at 10:30 pm, whether I like it or not. And since I don't like losing work, I'm sure to shut it off before that time comes around.
I swear you're a mind reader. I've been bad lately about playing video games instead of chasing my freelancing dreams. Partly due to winter depression that us motorcyclist get.
@@manaskesharwaniunnoficial1638 of course, he's a Harvard university senior (i think) and I was talking about "Why You Should Limit Your Technology Use, Now" video...

I want to delete my fb account but at the same time I don't want to lose connection with my childhood friends.I want to block certain sites on Mobile.Can I do it?
i personally don't have the kind of problems about screen usage like you mentioned because recently i just happened to realize that social media's all the same and regardless of the amount of pretty pictures, useful info i thought i needed to save... it's just dead boring and something's always amiss. and then BAM. my phone got stolen. i forgot whatever that went through my mind earlier and simply freaked out about not having a phone, that when i faced the reality that i've been distracted with all along is that... it feels kinda lonely not being occupied and stimulated enough in public, and how everyone's been glued to their phones whenever and wherever they go... to the level that it's kind of sickening but a part inside of me just wanna be like them and it's just all messed up really @@...
Im watching this video late but here you go. I find not leaving my phone to charge before sleeping helps reduce my usage so if i wake up i keep it for charging and it reduces atleast 1-2 hours screen time. Its also good for your phones battery because according to my research, charging your phone max upto 80 is good. I dont know how to explain properly but it works!
my idea is to go back to normal traditional alarm clock - so I don't need to look at my phone as 1st thing in the morning , and as a last thing during the evening :-) it's so good when you go to sleep and you look at the person who is lying next to you instead of device , I'm recommending :-)
I always love the lighting in your videos. And 4 hours a day?? 😳😳😳😳 Mine is way worse so I definitely needed this video. I’ve been obsessed with lowering my screentime but failing.
I remember in the last video You used too many cursed words, I am 14 and you are one of my favourite creater This tells us that there may be more children of my age group watching your channel And use of this type of language may negatively influence them Even if you don't monetize your videos Please don't use such a language Well, I am a huge fan of yours, Great content as always
Looking for advice! A common tip is to keep your phone out of your bedroom and charge it in a different room at night. If you experienced something like a home break in (which I know is extremely unlikely) wouldn’t you be far safer with a phone in the same room where you sleep to call emergency services? Does anyone have ideas for a work around for this?
I spend 2-3 hours commuting from work to home and most of the time, I either have my headphones on listening to Spotify podcasts, or just leave it in my pocket (or in my bag) so in a way, I've managed to somewhat reduce my daily screentime use. It helps that I don't have a data plan so I feel no need to check my phone while on the road. :)

The rest can either get it too or reach me on facebook (which I dont have on my phone. if its urgent they can CALL). I follow only a few people on instagram - people I am REALLY interested in. On average I only get 10 new pics in my instadeed per day so there really is no point checking in often or scrolling for ever
I found a good way to make sure I shut off the computer on time every night if the next day is a work day. I bought a smart plug and set it to turn off my PC at 10:30 pm, whether I like it or not. And since I don't like losing work, I'm sure to shut it off before that time comes around.
I swear you're a mind reader. I've been bad lately about playing video games instead of chasing my freelancing dreams. Partly due to winter depression that us motorcyclist get.
Turning off my notifications now. I really never thought about it but it is so true.
Wow! Very helpful tips! Thanks millions!
If you really liked this video, or found it helpful I think u should also watch John Fish's new video.
Glad to know some John Fish fans are here too... 😊
Can you tell me who is he?
@@manaskesharwaniunnoficial1638 of course, he's a Harvard university senior (i think) and I was talking about "Why You Should Limit Your Technology Use, Now" video... I watched it with the intention of limiting my TH-cam use and after that I spent a day without YT... It was really helpful for me. Have a nice day! :)
@@valezarex so have you managed to control your use on a daily basis?
@@valezarex thanks😊

Going back to a non-smartphone helped me for a while. Then had to get back on for job purposes. But it did help a lot.
I love your videos SO much! Thanks 💙

I want to delete my fb account but at the same time I don't want to lose connection with my childhood friends.I want to block certain sites on Mobile.Can I do it?
Streno Gamer I deleted Facebook from my phone (just the app) so that way I can still get on it on my computer if I want to check on everyone
Thank you for your video!
Changing to grayscale made a big difference!
i personally don't have the kind of problems about screen usage like you mentioned because recently i just happened to realize that social media's all the same and regardless of the amount of pretty pictures, useful info i thought i needed to save... it's just dead boring and something's always amiss.
and then BAM.
my phone got stolen. i forgot whatever that went through my mind earlier and simply freaked out about not having a phone, that when i faced the reality that i've been distracted with all along is that... it feels kinda lonely not being occupied and stimulated enough in public, and how everyone's been glued to their phones whenever and wherever they go... to the level that it's kind of sickening but a part inside of me just wanna be like them and it's just all messed up really @@...
That freestyle at the end was actually Dope
Im watching this video late but here you go. I find not leaving my phone to charge before sleeping helps reduce my usage so if i wake up i keep it for charging and it reduces atleast 1-2 hours screen time. Its also good for your phones battery because according to my research, charging your phone max upto 80 is good. I dont know how to explain properly but it works!
I think watching videos like these is the cause of my high screen time
my idea is to go back to normal traditional alarm clock - so I don't need to look at my phone as 1st thing in the morning , and as a last thing during the evening :-) it's so good when you go to sleep and you look at the person who is lying next to you instead of device , I'm recommending :-)
I always love the lighting in your videos. And 4 hours a day?? 😳😳😳😳 Mine is way worse so I definitely needed this video. I’ve been obsessed with lowering my screentime but failing.
I remember in the last video
You used too many cursed words,
I am 14 and you are one of my favourite creater
This tells us that there may be more children of my age group watching your channel
And use of this type of language may negatively influence them
Even if you don't monetize your videos
Please don't use such a language
Well, I am a huge fan of yours,
Great content as always
*Useful content, keep going Matt*
Looking for advice! A common tip is to keep your phone out of your bedroom and charge it in a different room at night. If you experienced something like a home break in (which I know is extremely unlikely) wouldn’t you be far safer with a phone in the same room where you sleep to call emergency services? Does anyone have ideas for a work around for this?
I absolutely love your videos!
I spend 2-3 hours commuting from work to home and most of the time, I either have my headphones on listening to Spotify podcasts, or just leave it in my pocket (or in my bag) so in a way, I've managed to somewhat reduce my daily screentime use. It helps that I don't have a data plan so I feel no need to check my phone while on the road.

I recommend using freedom on Chrome and "Forest" on iOS to add friction to using the internet while working.
As I work toward becoming paperless, the screen time on my iPad has grown exponentially.
