It's way too easy now to let the internet be a part of every aspect of our lives. This was starting to have a really negative effect on me, so I decided to do something about it.
I highly recommend this book (The Daily Stoic): geni.us/eUJEmQ

The information that you gave in this video is a little bit messy I couldn't stay focused and link all the infos together this is just my openion I don't know about the others but anyway I like your videos and thank you :)
Thank you, excellent tips.As one who has squandered invaluable time I will never get back mindlessly lost in digital distraction and electronic escape, I really appreciate your reminder
Hi! Loved it! What did you use to track the time you spend on during the day?
Hey, Nathaniel. Wow. That's a great and so important issue to talk about nowadays. Thanks for sharing this subject about how to organize and to live more real life than virtual. I like always your videos, buddy!
1. Donât check social media/email until noon
2. Donât check phone in bed
3. Donât take phone to bathroom
4. Look at food when eating
5. Track and limit time on social media
6.Set a deadline everyday- stop work at certain time
âEndless pleasure becomes it own form of punishmentâ
m Wasnât the first one to not check anything until noon?
KayKayBayForever yup youâre right sorry
Thanks
who the fuck is on the phone while eating?

Why haven't I been utilizing this feature before!? Derp.

True. Ever seen the faces of JAV actors being sucked by JAV actresses after they nut?

@@grayhollow4489 Thank you, fixed that ;)
I love how you donât waste our time. No long intros, and always include when advice starts.
Agree...I hate it when videos that are already called "how to boil an egg" for example, spend the first minute telling you what the video is about and what the problem is that you likely already know about otherwise you wouldn't be here FFS.
David Naylor yeah exactly! We end up rolling our eyes for that whole minute or try to skip to the good part
The problem is i watch too much youtube. I don't have problems with comparing myself to others on social media or finding validation from other by posting. This video helps a lot thank you.
Rath Sophea same!!!
Noob
@@kavanaanklekar2327 Found yourself in the same situation mate?
Yes CZcams is addictive, so many informing videos on there
I've been slacking on studying due to social media and youtube... and then Nathaniel posts this video.
He's watching me.
Shadab Shadman SAME
I use CZcams to study. You should give it a try!
@@NicoleCherieLukas literally me too
"food brings me a lot of joy"
Relatable
Yes
*_1 Minute Online Does not equal 1 Minute IRL. It's more like 1 Minutes Online = 10 Minute IRL. AKA Usually a big time waster especially with social media. I'm in the process of making a video on digital minimalism myself, thanks for the inspiration_*
Agree bro :(
I don't know if someone will read this, but I just wanted to say that life seems often feels like a simulation, because of the coincidence, which happen. I personally have a CZcams addicten(which I am dealing with right now) and therefore I feel how youtube and indirectly the internet takes over my life and holding me back from my potential. Most recently I am also reading the book of the daily stoic to find a better direction, and for some odd reason this is also mentioned in this videođ. This video seems quiet fitting to me right now, thanks Nathaniel.
I was there man i've been clicking on every CZcams recommendation like it was crazy, but i dealed with it, i set a specific time for youtube now and i full the time left doing my actual tasks that i have to do.
I want Nathaniel Drew Matt D'Avella collab so bad
Who came first?
loltheworld doesnt matter
@@geko2531 It does
No it doesnt
@@ApricotMint It does
That's the cleanest keyboard I've ever seen.
Nathaniel: Do not take your phone to the bathroom
Me: *watching this video in the bathroom *
Lol same đ
Thank god, not only me
me tooooooo
@pete knicks It was a joke calm down
Hey Nathaniel, one of the best action I've made to "declutter my phone and not being on my phone all day" is to turn off ALL notifications except the call notification. If there is an emergency, people will call you, not text you. It really helped me out and it may also help you.
Yes thatâs the way to go! My reasoning is that if l would have something super urgent l would phone the person as opposed to messaging.
Setting limits and being more self aware is a good start
69 likes lmao
im already building these habits and they are having a great impact on my life already ! i always love your content thanks nathaniel!!
Nathaniel : don't take your phone to the bathroom
Me: *watches this video while showering*
@Giselle Rodriguez-Fuentes i mean I take my phone with me to the bathroom, and when i get out of the tub I check it :D
I delete all social media apps, CZcams and games from my phone for whole weekend to waist my time a bit more rational. I believe it's a good start
Too much time online has wrecked havoc with my self confidence. All I see is people judging and bashing everything which makes me question my own choices. Even though there's nothing wrong with what I do. Idk why I've given so much power to strangers online. I really want to undo this mess in my head.
This channel is like the Matt DâAvella backup channel that posts more consistently.
Bryce Clemmer for sure!
technologie is the new drugs and everyone is addict so thank you because it's really hard to get a support for stopping use this drug . keep going please because you are awesome
I'm currently reading Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. This video and his book have been the perfect introduction to minimalise screen time. Thank you!
That book is next on my list ,how would u rate that book out of 10 ?
@@cybertu7114 I'm only half way through but I've been really enjoying it
Every time you make a video Iâm stunned because itâs as if youâre reading my mind. You constantly make videos that I specifically need relating to things I currently want improve on in my life, but donât know how to start. Your content is quality and Iâm so grateful for your channel! Thank you so much â„ïž
I already left social media 3 months ago amd your bullet journal video and internet learning video has increased my level of daily productivity . Thank you â€
Itâs helpful when youâre turning off *ALL* notifications except any messaging.
Ex: messages, messenger, and/or WhatsApp. Etc.
yeah ive tried it n it helps too
4:55 Damn, that's a great habit idea: "Does this message require an immidiate response?"
"Endless becomes its own form of punishment." - Great quote, less really is more.
I have begun most of these practices myself but have recently fallen off my regimen being out on disability. I've been wanting to start a flip phone movement for months now, more immediately within my own household, but I can't get anyone in my family on board with. However, our environment is designed to keep us distracted having cell towers now supporting only 4G phones making it nearly impossible to connect a phone call inside of a building or within your home. You must go outside. But being outside isn't so bad now that I think about itđ Anyway, cell phones were initially intended for the same reason the telephones were. Then they had to get "smart" on us. Here's another quote for you; "The only argument with someone who complains that there's never enough time in a day is that everyone has 24 hours in a day." Thank you for the video in reminding us to be more mindful of how we spend our time.
I like when people are not shouting in your ear and being helpful in the meantime. Thank you Nathaniel, i'll be checking more of this out.
Thank you for another great video! I think we've all struggled with internet use at some point, your content helps me to observe my behaviors and habits more consciously.
This is well-timed for me. I have been examining the amount of content I consume vs. what I actually DO with it in my real life. And I don't like the idea that something is my master. Thanks for sharing! Most of us need this.
Thanks man! This one is just what I need right now! Being addictive to internet has been anything but productive.I was aware of that but didn't know how to get out of it.Your video brings some practical ways of taking back life from digital control. I do appreciate it.
Btw great aesthetics! Have a good day.đ
Could you do a video on self-control? I feel like to start having limitations, one must master self-control and avoid temptation. It would tie in well with your digital minimalism series.
same problem for me but i don't think videos on youtube can do any long term effect.
Actually waited for episode 6. Brilliant production, love your videos man. Sometimes CZcamsâs algorithm blesses me with a good channel like Matt Dâavellaâs, and then I get equally as good content recommended to me, and thatâs how I discovered your channel. You have some differences in your videos that I thoroughly enjoy, and appreciate your out reach through the CZcams platform. Donât ever stop doing what youâre doing bro.
Peace & love from New Jersey.
Much needed...when im not at my productive best..! I want to use social media responsibly..not obbessively..
Thank you so much for this series. I found it very helpful and followed all episodes in a single day(which I did block out specifically to be done this Friday), so yeah thanks again and more power to you as I closely follow your new journey of settling in Paris.
Would love a video on what you do when you are "off track". How much leeway do you give yourself to be human and make mistakes and how you identify that you are off track etc...
I noticed how you include time references (to the actual start of the advice) in your videos. It really shows that you care about watchers' time!!! Although I never miss any parts of your videos, thank you so mush for that!
I have an awful attention span and the fact every single one of your videos sucks me in and keeps me focused is remarkable. Amazing stuff, thank you!
Great video!
It was very helpful because I spend way too much time on my phone. I made it a goal this summer to read more books and paint more, etc. I just need to get in control of my tech addiction. Thanks a ton for this vid! đ
Youâre awesome, dude. Loving every video Iâve seen on this channel. Keep up what youâre doing!
We are overwhelmed by so many sensations in today's world.
Internet is just one of them, maybe the biggest, but so.
It's just very hard to hold mind calm, when distraction comes from every side.
In myself, I had a problem with youtube and pornography addiction, either of problems equally bad.
Fortunately, I've taken myself from that swamp by surpassing a zone of comfort more and more, by actions like: cold showers, running, and meditation definitely have helped.
Great video. I've been incorporating a ton of your digital minimalism suggestions lately and it's really helped. Keep up the great work!
It's such a battle being a content creator and also limiting yourself on such apps and sites. It's definitely a challenge. Good work Nate recently found your channel!
Thank you, excellent tips.As one who has squandered invaluable time I will never get back mindlessly lost in digital distraction and electronic escape, I really appreciate your reminder.
The first two advices are so powerful, I feel much better when I'm following them. We have a similar view regarding this!
Thank you for everything you do. I started to watch your channel when it was not that popular as it is now and my first impression was that you are a young version of Matt D`Avella, but you create your content in a very special and sophisticated way and it is a new way of thinking for some important things in our lives. I wish you to stay that creative as you are and gain more grateful and intelligent viewers to spread your ideas. Have a good day!
Thank you! Iâve actually decided to start to learn on how to lessen my screen time. Love the timing. I will apply your advice! Thanks đâš
I am doing the morning offline routine it really does wonders ! Great video !
I deleted all my social media apps off my phone a while ago, not sure when exactly but probably about 2.5 weeks. It's been such an amazing thing for me and I actually don't want to install them again because how much time that they wasted and how much happier it has made me
Noon, bed, bathroom, food, track time, deadline. Got it, thank you very much!
Your content is fantastic bro. Thanks for what you doing. Keep up the good work
Thank you for this video! I recently have been taking your advice and watching your vids helps confirm it in my mind that I am on the right path! Thank you again for your content!
I can really relate to your struggle that you talked about early on in the video. I've built a bad habit of checking social media right after I wake up as well. It's a huge issue and it leads to me wasting away my entire morning, and often leaves me feeling irritated. Sometimes when I close my laptop and put it away I'm left feeling blank and unproductive. Obviously that quickly raised alarm haha. I'm trying to develop some better habits before the school year starts up again. Such a great video and fantastic tips! I can't wait to try them out.
Thank you for this! I will apply these tips, specially the one about replying people and emails. All the best! :D
I love all your videos so much! i always look forward to your videos, thank you so much for helping me improve myself đ„°
Thank you so much for this series. Awesome work!
Loved this video! Recently did something along the same lines, trying to not use social media on my phone for a few weeks, and honestly, it helped so much!
I've been looking for this, thanks alot Nathaniel Drew
I have been trying to minimize my usage for months.. been reading more books.. I even deactivated my Facebook for few weeks... anyway... Thank you SO SO SO much from the bottom of my heart... these steps are helpful and clear.. precisely what I needed...I appreciate your content you wonderful human being... keep doing what you're doing.. keep guiding people into the light dude!!đđâ€
OKAY, this changed me, i clicked on the video, clicked like, clicked subscribe and now i'm off to making limits for my social media usage, thanks man !
I really enjoy the content you put out. Keep up the good work!
Another brilliant well thought out well put together video all great things to think about i think that not checking anything until noon is a good one "Endless pleasure becomes it's own form of punishment! " very true I do kind of miss the days a few years ago when i didn't have a smart phone and I'd check everything in the evening Nice work
Great series! Excited to watch the rest! Love the motion graphics!
Oh wow, your sub count has grown! I've been here since the start. So happy for you. You put so much work into your channel.
Just thank you so much, this info is very useful and comes in the perfect moment! I am changing patreons all these days it is wonderful :)
This video is unbelievably helpful and I just hope that you stay humble whenever you blow up. đđœđ
Hey thanks. Iâm 48 and learning so much from your videos. Keep up the great work. From Japan.
so true (I am actually taking my morning coffee watching your video) BUT I realized how much I lost any kind of other pleasure while I was not on a screen doing anything.
Great content, Iâm definitely going to follow it. Thank you đ.
i loved this video, thank you so much for your content, itâs awesomely well done and very inspiring
This video was supercool and helpful. Thank you!
Great advice! This seems like a good compromise to eliminate the need for month-long social media breaks.
*Internet is a tool, either we use it or abuse it.*
We have to makes sure it serves us as a source of information and not a distraction to satisfy our boredom.
Boredom and restlessness is a consequence of lacking purpose, a sense of where the life is headed.
Finding a calling, sets us on a direction, almost becoming obsessed, and cut off all distraction - as much as possible.
Thank you, i spend most of my time on the internet and I know it's harmful to me. It makes me feel like a piece of shit, yet it still draws me in like a magnet
I feel so comfortable within watching those videos and itâs always so inspiring, thanks from Russia â€ïž
Food stresses me out so much as someone with an eating disorder so sitting with my food without a device is HARD. But I am going to work on it still.
really nice video, i like the whole digital minimalism series, great work!
Your videos are so interesting and helpful, i'm inspired. I want to change my way of living, i want to be present in the moment, i want to focus on my art and learning new things, and that's hardly possible if i keep immerse in my phone. Thank you for your videos.
This topic reminds me of the book, âIn the Absense of the Sacredâ by Jerry Mander A more in depth look at Technology and how it can affect us. He used to work in Network TV advertising. He wrote the book, Four Arguments for Elimination of the Television.
I've been feeling extremely overwhelmed and behind with my replies. This is very helpful advice. I'm going to designate a day to replying to everything that way I can look up from my phone while I'm eating. Thank you for this lifesaver!
Thanks for the tips! Took them down in my notes then made some edits to make it personalized.
Great series Nathaniel and congrats on the spike in traffic!
I like the not checking in bed or in the bathroom, Iâm going to try that. The food thing...if itâs something I took time to cook, Iâm definitely not doing anything but eating, but if itâs fast food or cereal or whatever I listen to podcasts or watch CZcams.
Really good suggestions, keep up the good work brother. subscribed
you really doing quality content for us, thank you
i loved this and i am definitely gonna implement more of this in my daily life cause sometimes it really is all over the place -.-
Great video canât wait to apply these tips out
Im so glad to find out that we have the exact same phone and phone case, cheers bro
Amo tus videos, felicidades por el excelente contenido que tienes en tu canal!
That was the video I was waiting for... thanks!!!
Bro seems like you are heavily inspired by Matt d'avella, especially style and humour....anyway good content and video. Keep it up.
DpKris yo I saw this video on my recommendations and for a minute, I thought dâAvella changed his name lol
I clicked on this video because i thought its him!
Even the tone of his voice and the way he speaks is similar
You guys do realize this is how most minimalist are. Besides, this guy made videos first lol.
