I Quit My Cellphone for 30 Days & It Changed My Life 

I got 13/15 lmao.

@@noahjohnson4211 13 :o Worse than I thought, haha. I don't have notifications on and am not on social media but I spend a staggering amount of time on Reddit and YT. Yikes!

11/15 🤦🤦🤦

10! 👀

I only got 8 but it was still worrying seeing the questions I was saying ‘yes’ to

Why this is so true 😂

Yeah i quit social media few months ago like facebook and instagram. But alot of that addiction moved to watching unhealty ammount of youtube. Althought i would say im still happier and slight bit more productive

LOL, same.

I can relate 😂😂

@@dragonrider8866 Yup! 😂

Kathryn Hood good idea!

That's so holesome

and we both ... read more 🤣🤣🤣 seriously

Klavierkunst - Davide Martello yeah, 2 people don’t have to only sleep with each other when alone?

Love this idea!

11 hours-

@@sle279 Fr? Or u joking? Otherwise Me to.

@Rajdeep Sandhu? A single day has 24 hrs... Dont you mean the time you are not sleeping? (Sorry for my bad english xd)

Me with my 16 hours

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that. 😂

This is one of my favourite quotes because it's so true that it hurts

I still dont get what that means

Or its relevancy

FloridaRaider yep it was some mans fault for not sitting in a room alone when hitler killed people

Read we need to talk about Kevin cuz that is all he does

Hey, can I join your club?

And what’s so wrong with that? :)

That’s good... it means you didn’t miss anything

Saaaaame

I feel ya bruh.

I feel ya

So pure hmm Racism and sexism are still in the present time imagine how worse it is back then.

I miss the days when people are reading real newspaper during breakfast

Watch an episode of friends... around season 3 / 4. It’s like a heavenly world where people actually connect.

@@taduntss3832 meh

I relate to u…..same condition

Get rid of it then

Yes and when you get to be I would say somewhere around 60 the nerve cell damage starts to show up. So painful since we hawe had our medication taken away by the government.

Yeah i got my first cellphone at 16 im 28 now and i definitely feel my memory is less and its harder for me to focus. Even while watching a video about focusing i divided my attention with my phone. I put my phone in the corner of the room to finish the video but I got a notification and got distracted again. I think I'll be giving this challenge a shot. I just don't know how its gonna affect my work since I often get messages about work through my phone.

I can relate. Trying to stay away from phone but it's so damn hard I keep failing every time

There it is.

ingolf1980 we all are lol

@@yordano41No we are not

David Pienaar lie

@@jacobthephrophet7929 he's probably watching this on his computer

or why he didnt just give the phone to the friend instead.

Content

Or just turn it off before he put it in the box...

Content

Man, we’re all being cynical in this comment section.

I want to know too

I was thinking the same

Yess please let us know :) and if so why did you go back to some things?

I was about to hop into the comment section to say the same thing

Good question

Cell phones are ok at night only if you’re watching our videos 😂

Hanna Raab Doing that right now at 1:39 AM

Same haha

Same lol

so fuc***true.. that's make me angry and sad with myself😵😵😵

Jesus loves you so much he is the only way to heaven God bless you!

@@psalm3496 hallelujah and amen

@@psalm3496 Amen!

On the future will reveal if this happens or if instead people move on to virtual reality instead? After all, all the endorphin stimulation these devices provide is what keeps people hooked!

I pray you’re correct, Mr. Jackson.

I'm about to be one of them.... it's taking over my life too much, and I need a drastic change.

Andrew Jackson I don’t think cell phones are bad if they’re managed properly.

@@GoalGuys I agree, and I think cell phones have many positives, but I believe that it is so hard to manage cell phone use to where it isn't detrimental due to how savvy marketing teams have become with making the colors on their apps inviting and creating "never ending" scrolling with ever new content

Lucky

Me too. I’m glad I could go out and play and have fun and not worry about computers or cell phones.And thank goodness cell phones weren’t at the parties I went to LOL

FloridaRaider OK boomer 😂

@@LoganT547 Boomers grew up in the 50s and 60s silly. Those that grew up in the 80s are old millenials. Love from Gen X. PS: Growing up without cell phones was awesome. Now we are all like zombies with them.

@@openyourmind3763 OK gen x 😂

Albert Sitdikov appreciate it Albert!

YAAAASSSSSSSSS!!!

I felt this. People in my highschool think it’s weird that I’m trying to use Instagram less and stuff.

I am also addicted to my phone and I am not ashamed to admit it. To be honest, I use my phone mostly for staying in touch with people and learning new things.

I was literally just about to comment this. I had the same experience with army bct, and I definitely feel like there is a better atmosphere when I’m on base because you can’t be walking around with your phone out when in uniform.

Also experienced this at army bct. It was a good life when I didn’t have my phone lol

What were you using to write this then

@@lust4996 wooosh

@@lust4996 I guess I wooshed too 🙁

@@noahgarrett5195 mhm

or power down the phone before starting the challenge lol

@@andreyv1 would have been better for the battery too.

Or muffled it with a blanket or pillow placing it on the ground at least lol

Or nuked his house IDK

Or just threw it out idk

All we had was snake and ringtones

I didn’t get my first smartphone until I was 22, and I immediately became addicted lol

@@86TrapHouse it was sick if we are honest!

@@derKischda Snake was top tier. FACTS

It was lit, we had high speed internet just like you do know but you could only access it on a computer. Not connected 24/7 & seeing ads on every single thing you do now on the internet

Thanks!

I’m in high school where the phone addiction is rampant as well and I’m just glad I wasn’t born any later bc honestly that 2 or 3 years extra with a phone is all the difference

I couldn't imagine growing up with a smartphone with a developing mind. Would probably stunt growth in the outside world and affect learning.

I’m in high school. My school have banned all smartphone use during school hours. I live in New Zealand, so I’m not sure of how the situation is in the US - but I can honestly say I feel so much better. I see kids in other schools glued to their phones all day and it only makes me wonder how much content they are missing out on and opportunities they miss by neglecting their education. Don’t get me wrong, I see the benefits of smartphone use as I do use it to research/expand, but also for entertainment and personal use, which is of course restricted to weekends due to homework. Having a phone is extremely useful, but as a teenager, I don’t have business calls, emails, important texts and notifications to respond to - so having one turned on in school is pointless. 8hours per day without a phone, the other 8 or so I’m sleeping. This leaves 8hours for leisure, homework, travel, sport, socialising and of course phone use. I don’t use my phone much on the weekends either. People think it’s odd that my school have banned phones and many see it as unlucky - but I would much rather have this now as I can maximise my potential and work towards a bigger goal. Being a teenager in these modern times, if you don’t have a mobile phone you’re seen as odd, which I agree with to a point. Before the ban on phones in school, I was using it for 7hours a day, now I’m down to 1-2hrs screentime on weekdays and around 3-4 on weekends. I have found myself getting better sleep, feeling more refreshed in the morning and my problems with getting to sleep were nearly gone, despite still using my phone less than 90mins before bed. My grades, physical and mental health all improved and I’m feeling fitter than ever. For someone who reluctantly signed a contract with my parents and the school at the beginning of last year, I am happier than ever and have never wished the school changed its policy. Many kids try to break the rules, but if you’re found on your phone at school it is confiscated for a week and the second offence parents are called. Although it’s annoying to get the feeling of “missing out” during the day, there are odd opportunities where you could quickly check notifications for 5seconds just for peace of mind if that really bothered you. I seriously recommend that other schools adopt a similar policy towards phones as it was met with open arms by all parents. Of course, kids bend the rules - but as a general rule we don’t use them all day/throughout lunch as we simply aren’t allowed to. I’m actually glad it’s that way too.

@@timhanby5662 we have no phones at work and I love it.

i just stopped teaching college last year after 20 years. Over the last 10 years, my job became so much harder and i really felt like the biggest challege is students reading. The job became so much worse b/c of all the use of the Internet and esp social media, then the phones are another barrier. I realize that tech is neutral but most humans in the modern world cannot control themselves to only use this tech to further their education. It would amaze me that no one bothered looking up words even with a phone right in their hand!

marsupilami m the problem is that you also need your phone for gps, Sonos, philips hue and amazon!

@@user-st5gy7ep7o sure if you need for job, but when we deeply think about it, we don't need all that apps, we should lean on ourself, and less of technology, even if it make our daily life easier.

This is what I was thinking

Victor H that’s a decent option!

@@vikthc772 I use the freedom app (not free) to block FB, Insta and all news websites, works well for me

TheKoonce getting ramped back up after the holidays!

Thanks Troy!

KU4EVER100 been saying “I should get that fixed” for over a year now... 🤦‍♂️

I am starting this challenge today. I also face the same struggles daily .If you were to get tangible materials, you would reduce the need to relly on your gadget/device.

What is that pfp pic?!

😂

sjhdfbasndf that would be very helpful!

I remember those days but I love the easy access to RU-vid and google.

I've been thinking about this so much lately.. I think this is my sign to do it and only watch RU-vid and stuff from my laptop when I have real downtime to do so... but I'm only 19 and feel weird being young and being so out of the loop bc I haven't had social media for about a year or so lol and this will definitely throw me way further out

What if you need an Uber? A calendar sinchronized with your emails? Directions? That seems easy to say, but if you really use your phone you know that there are certain functions that are just essential.

@@asganawayaway I'd use my iMac for any of that.

Aritase good luck mate!

Well..they are programmed to be addictive. And people give them to kids

@@amelialalllalala3914 no it's the social media that's programmed to be addictive. The original use of the cell/smartphone was to be a tool for people to communicate over long distances. Website & app developers slowly took over the digital market and flooded the world with dopamine from their ingeniously algorithm crafted social interaction platforms

@@princeali599 phones are also programmed to be addictive. But it is mainly the apps on it.

Cocaine isn't the problem, its hows we use it.

Methamphetamines isn't a problem its how we use it 🥴

Josue Saro noo come back

You must write down your experience once the 30 days have passed. If you read it on February 16th, then contrats man ! If you reply to my comment on that exact day then I'll it myself. now that I've written this, I can not go back 😅

Update your experiences everyday here.

@@veer_trivedi haha

Posting this comment so I get a notification when you come back and tell us about your experience

😂😂😂

Bruh 😂

Uday Paul thanks mate!

Yazmin Stubbs I love that man.

@@GoalGuys i agree. He, you and "the unlazy way" are good mans.

True

Peter Walker get notified of our Instagram and Twitter posts too if you want more notifications 😂

Start right now

Why February? Why not now? Studies show that sometimes gradual change doesn't work, its a leap of faith that creates change. If you disagree or are uncertain, I'd recommend "The Holy Shit Moment" by James Fell, very eye-opening.

good luck!

I'm going to attempt a week no internet and no social media. I already do 7 days no social media once a month or every 2 months. Good luck with a whole month.

@@vectteur You know what, maybe I wont wait until February. Ok, just this ONE day and then I'll start

Adam Al need to get my screen fixed so bad 🤦‍♂️
