Nice. I've been slowly cutting back the amount of hours I spend on my phone everyday for the past 6 months, and I've completely stopped playing video games as well. In this short span of time I've read 50 books, whereas before that I was reading about one book a month. Stay strong kings, this path is hard but it is rewarding.
@@magicmofy2871 Because its not good for you every scientific researches are funded by tech giants for nerds to cope about gaming is good and if you dont stop it enirely yk you will binge many time + life is 1000x better then any game be it rdr2 or gta 6 i would chose one year extra in my life rather then gta 6... if you read this far reply if you agree or not and why
Everyone is different, some may need video games as a crutch in their life. I was like that for a long time, but now that I've finished my degree and started to work, I realize that video games were a hindrance to my social life all along, and an escape from reality. Since I've stopped playing I've had a lot more time to hang out with my colleagues after work, to exercise, to read books and to learn a language. More importantly I want to do these things now, whereas before I would just play for hours in my room. I now realize that video games were a drain to my energy and a hindrance to my potential, even if they felt good. But I'm stronger now, I don't need that crutch anymore.
I was consistently going to the gym for a year but I've been off it for Month now. Started going to old habits like video games and scrolling, and I'm not happy as of right now. This is my sign to get back and start reading, and get back into art. Thanks for the reminder it's not easy but take it one day at a time.
who ever started this self improvement video style, everyone copies each other in a way, this is your channel, not anyone. the youtube home page has blessed you.
This is why I adore camping. I’m forced into a scenerio where I’m on my phone hardly, I still struggle to sleep so I watch a movie before I go to bed, but then I got into guitar and play it when I go now.
this is exactly what I'm trying to do. Glad to see someone that knows that every activity becomes more or less pleasant when compared to another one. Also glad you're covering an important and useful topic

Something I recommend it to stick with your goals but change your approach every time you fail/are on the verge of giving up. I wanted to build muscle. But my workouts were suddenly too long for the time I spent in school. So I gave up. Now I had the same issue again a while back but with university. I’ve been sticking to it for 7 months now, seen some progress and I’ve changed my approach. Minimalist Push, Pull Legs is what fits me bets right now. And of exams come up I’ll find another split that’ll work. What I won’t do is give up. ❤
Recently deleted instagram after realizing how much time it wastes, now youtube is slowly replacing it but i'm trying to not allow it. Keep up these videos man they are really well made
@@zestplaysThat’s because TH-cam can also be harnessed for extreme good. The amount of free audiobooks and podcasts you can find on here is literally nearly infinite. Instead of watching overly-stimulating content, just put something on in the meantime while you work on a productive task/exercise/etc.
Im a 16 year old guy (in highschool), I don’t get bullied at school or anything, I always have people I can sit with and know enough to make small talk but outside of school I dont have any real friends. When I first started high school 4 years ago at a new school I hung out with a high achieving group for about a half a year, however I had a fight with one of the people and left the group. After that I floated around different friend groups but never made real connections with anyone while everyone else bonded stronger. A little over a year ago I decided to rejoin the friend group. However due to the fear of being disagreed with and forced to drift between friend groups I gradually stopped talking in conversations until I eventually became completely quiet. By now its just become normal that during lunch I sit with them silently and in classes I sit with them but barely talk to them. I really want to become friends but no matter what I do, I can’t seem to force myself to speak, let alone become friends with them. I really want to get added on social media and go out to places with them. Problems I have when i try to talk are: - Since its been so long it feels odd to out of nowhere start talking again/they aren’t expecting me to talk to them - They all know eachother way better than I do so why would they want to talk to me when they can talk to a closer friend - I can rarely think of anything interesting or meaningful to say What should I do?
hope you’re doing better since it’s been five months lol from what you’ve said it seems like they don’t want to be friends with you, i know that is a painful thing to hear, but they have every right to feel that way. it seems like you’re mentally stuck in the past, and you have to let some things go. if their company doesn’t make you feel good don’t force yourself into being friends with them (which doesn’t mean that you should completely cut off contact with every single person from that friend group, maybe you could just stay acquaintances ). from your comment you seem like you get anxious when it comes to socializing. try to get over that, i know it seems really difficult but you must do it if you want to see a positive change. conversations and friendships are a ‘two person’ game, both sides have to actively participate in order for it to work. you said you can’t come up with things to talk about-analyze what these people usually talk about-are you interested in any of those topics? do you want to participate in such conversations? don’t think about it so much, conversation takes practice and it should just flow naturally, no one expects ANYONE to say something really meaningful, you literally just go with the flow. also why limit yourself to one group only? why not befriend random people you get along with in school or make your own friend group? feeling lonely can be hard but believe me, as time passes and as you grow up you will change as a person and meet people that you could easily get along with. in the meantime, find some hobbies, (i know this sounds generic) try new things, join a course etc that way you’re basically surrounded by people with same interests as you and hobbies generally make you a more interesting person.
I managed to cut my screentime a lot by instaling an app that only allowed 10 min each hour. I still can watch if I want... but I don't get down that rabbit hole. My problem was not picking up the phone all the time.. but when I did, I got stuck.
A few practical tips I've learned that are easy to implement: - Keep your phone outside of your bedroom at night. No mindless scrolling keeping you awake at night or in bed in the morning. Read a book instead. - Delete all games and social media off your phone. Check your screen time. If it's not
Get inspiration from a channel called Ruff, take clips from places like Studio Ghibli, add voiceover and background music, put into editing software to line up voice over with clips.
So the age old thing" of reading the back of shampoo bottles in the restroom has prepped an entire generation :D I had a similar ritual with regard to reading non-fiction books in the bathtub. The only issue was taking notes.
Never understood how people get bored. If you put me in an empty room by myself I will be occupied with my thoughts for a long time, without getting bored. I do understand the concept of not allowing yourself to do anything else, but what you are supposed to work on, and it does work. I just don't ever get bored. And that not bragging, because it sometimes sucks, and maybe sucks even more than being bored.
And the video script is from a channel called Ruff. He put the link in the description if you want to watch it. Both incognito and this channel copied it. I think the original creators should get views for this. Let's support them.
@@7thsky585It's annoying. I see a video I love, than realize it's a copy of someone else. Thumbnail and everything. Even the scripts are almost word for word.
@@FRCooper6PlaysThere's so many channels now all using the same script, same thumbnail, same titles, and all downloading anime clips from the same place, Studio Ghibli. By the way, Incognito CEO blew up because he also copied the scripts to already successful videos. Copied the titles and the scripts. Someone should start a channel showing how they're all copying each other and ripping off content. I bet that would blow up. Call the channel Copynpaste.
Why do your videos look like incognitoCEO? Are you both one person? Edit: No, you're not one person. Although your videos look the same and your voice is also similar, I still find some differences.
About this topic I wanna say about this episode: I once read a book where the main character went to gulag and they gave him like the same book in 3 different languages so what he did in his jail time was learning two new languages . Reminds me about this vid topic
Just noticed in the description you gave credit to Ruff for the video. Just out of curiosity, do you have to get the original creators permission first?
Hey Hestia. I noticed in tge description you said this is a remake of another youtubers video with a link to their video. I just happen to be a huge fan of Ruff(the channel you're recreating here) and i have a question. Did you have to get permission to do this?
How to watch lectures on TH-cam without getting distracted? I know many of you will say - Focus , be hard on yourself etc etc . But you guys know that the stimulations are too hard to get over with
I know this is hard for everyone. But I find it extra hard because I make music and want to share it so I'm on social media a lot. Focusing on music for 4-6 hours straight is the easy part, not sharing and checking your uploads is 99% of my problem. 😂

You do a really bad job at copying incognitoceo. you talk about overstimulation while completely bombarding with visuals. You didn`t get the point, didn`t you?
this is like the third or forth video saying the same thing... while it may be beneficial to do a 'dopamine detox' this whole "outwork everyone by being bored" thing is silly. I have hundreds of things I could be doing that are far and away not boring at all, and yet doesn't mean i want to do them. You can't use this as a way to make difficult or boring tasks "fun". There might be some value in "eating the frog" which is just do your onerous tasks early, doesn't make them less onerous but when you get it out of the way you feel better afterwards.
