Alright yo what's up boyz, so I wasted lots and lots of time on my phone. I watched YT, IG, played chess and yes, I was down so bad that I even watched vids from popular creators on Spotify. On average I was consuming roughly 6-7h daily. Ngl, very long. Always was sleep deprived the next day when I had to go to school. So therefore I just decided to stop everything at once cos I thought to myself why not. And you know what? Worked for 2 weeks and then snapped back. Why? Because I spent watching very short amounts of time on vids on Spotify and my brain just coped and decided to stop depriving myself of every addiction because I already had broken the "rules". So what should you do instead of trying to solve everything at once? And don't get me wrong. It should be your goal to get your own time back and eventually stop it all. But you have to do it GRADUALLY. Don't attack everything all at once. It's just a lost battle. Instead of stopping YT, IG, TikTok, TV, chess, ... at once, you only focus on the worst addiction first. For me that was YouTube. Only focus on stopping one addiction (e. g. YT) for 1-2 weeks. After that time period, you've created a small identity which states that you're someone who doesn't watch YT. And now you move on to the next worst addiction and tell yourself to stop consuming YT AND IG. Do that again for 1-2 weeks. Repeat this cycle until you've destroyed them all. This is important as well: If you're forbidding yourself to watch YT, then you ARE allowed to consume the other addictions you have. Always always always keep replacing. Do anything, EXCEPT watching YT. This is the thing that has worked for me so far. That's it! If you've got still some questions my man, do not hesitate to ask. I'm always glad help someone to quit social media and other stuff.

I'm from Germany and I help men to regain control from their social media addiction so they can start crushing their goals again. Full time job is to become better than these average little bitches lol What about you? :)
