how to REDUCE SCREEN TIME and break your SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION 📱 (non-basic tips)

Most of us teens and young adults are addicted to our phones. Social media is an important port of our lives but what happens when it starts to take over our priorities? We spend hours on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other platforms, sacrificing time we can otherwise use to be productive.

Many of you have voiced your struggles with this problem and always ask me to make a video on how to overcome social media addiction or how to reduce your screen time.

As a Youtuber, it is definitely harder for me to overcome this problem as YouTube is literally my job, but I hope these tips will help you as students, so that you’re not so dependant on technology.

I’m always updating you guys on my journey to university in Australia on Instagram (insta: @ngfayee) so be sure to follow me there!

I love how her eyes go soft when she's talking about important issues like mental health. It's really wholesome and we know that Faye cares a lot about us :)

[briellestretch]

I made a decision to go 48 hours with no screen time whatsoever. It was insane. I was happy af and it felt like I was in a whole new world. I noticed so many people on their phones and felt so grateful that I wasn't on it. BEST 2 DAYS EVER!! <3

[marissa]

This is EXACTLY what i needed Faye! I've been neglecting my studies a lot for social media and I've been struggling to get off them. I need this to build more focus for my SPM since I'm in Form 5 now! Thanks a bunch 💗💗💗

EDIT: I GOT 7As FOR SPM!!!!

[purbitasaha]

She has to be our favorite since she understands that telling night owls to "wake up at 4 a.m." won't work. Moreover, the topics are relatable, and the tips are unique and effective for us. 💛

[atalliere]

i've literally just been thinking about how to detach myself from my social media addiction and pick up motivation.. your vids are suspisciously starting to come up at the right time omg.💀

[sunghoonshii]

I don't think I'm addicted. But I tend to scroll on utube whenever I'm bored.. i want to adopt better self developing habits during this time and also reduce my screentime. Thanks for the tips faye!
"Make life as inconvenient as possible " 😂♥️

[belaerdens]

i’ve seen creators talk about phone addiction before as if it’s just spending 2-3 hours on your phone everyday, and i usually have MUCH more time than this in my weekly average, so felt like my situation was to bad for change. thank you for understanding the struggle of so many people, this gave me motivation for progress!

[danieru-te]

Seriously, Faye is the only channel who can help me when it comes to my studies and being productive. Your the only channel who gives unique tips that no other study channel gives. And it's so helpful! I hope you continue on what your doing Faye 😉💜 Happy 500k!!

[kavya.m]

I was planning to have a no phone weekend and this is exactly what I need now. Thank you Faye! 😊

[tzerou]

Faye's really improving in mind reading. Literally, every time I have a problem, I get a YouTube notification for a video that tackles my problem. Go, Faye!

[prakruthi]

Me reading the "do not use your phone while it's charging" part while literally doing the mistake lol

[ksanupama]

Can't deny the fact that faye's videos are becoming more and more relatable, 😃😊💜💜💜💜

[jaywhypapi_mollah]

I was addicted to my phone or my laptop while studying so now I listen to focus music while studying. now I feel much better and much more studious than before. and thank you Fayefilms for helping to get motivated. <3 much love from an island girl !!

[maicashyrellyalung]

A tip that relates to Faye's last tip!
:if the brand of your device has a special feature such as 'hide apps', you may want to hide the social media apps such as Facebook, Tiktok, Twitter and Instagram. I have a Samsung Galaxy model in which I will always require to open my settings>>apps>>social media app>> open. This could be time consuming, but atleast it is a strategy of not considering wasting your time in opening such applications. You're welcome!

[daughterofgod]

Faye, you randomly popped up in my recomendations today and, as girl who is struggling with screen time, I saw the thumbnail and dove right in. Then, I started to watch some of your other videos on study habits. I can't thank you enough for sharing these tips! They are so important, and i'm even inspired to try these immediently. God has blessed you well!

[munnusharma]

To say last year I reduced my habit of screen time but now I just can't get rid of it to say it has grown even bigger . So really thank you for the video ☺️.

[rabbitoz____]

I'm addicted to my phone and i always feel bored and empty when I'm not scrolling Instagram like a 'nothing to do' feeling. Everytime i tried to put my phone away i always end up grabbing it again and opening applications.
I really wanted to get rid of this habit and i think Faye's videos will help me in this as well(it always did) the amount of motivation and willingness i achieve from her always thrives me in reshaping my routine. Thanks Faye!

[Naeema]

tysm, social media made me break away from productivity and hobbys i enjoy, it also for somewhat reason made me a little anti social. theres so much stuff on there you just keep scrolling with a foggy mind.

[rainetamoro]

Yey! I really need this right now, my screentime is the worst and the other day my screentime was 10 hours so I feel guilty about it! Thank you faye, I really need this. You always have solution at the right problem and time

I love how she’s calling us out at the start of every single one of these videos and I’m here for it
