I’m not gonna watch this video. I’m gonna listen to this video while I’m doing my task.

[MarsellaGH]

Your videos make me feel genuinely calm

I've just had a couple of weeks of social media detox time. Phone always far away, allowed myself to use it only for what it was originally intended for: communication. Now, one big rule is no social media one hour before I go to sleep, and especially once I'm in bed, no phone whatsoever (it's in another room), but either read a book or do some sketching (I draw and paint watercolour). Same thing after waking up: no phone for quite a while. It makes such a difference! Too much phone makes me feel restless

Brilliant as always 💚 Yeah I can relate to this.. Having a Why is so important. Finding it is more difficult. Have a Favorite Weekend!

This video was a level up! Great editing on all videos, but something about this one was great. Keep it up! This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Probably my favorite digital minimalism video. It ended up being really helpful that you only focused on one topic rather than a lot of tips. And elaborating helped it stick all the more. I’m going to really cling to creating over scrolling! Thank you!

Thanks for the encouragement. I DO know more about 1 thing than 90% of people. I was in the frame of mind that if there is one other person who knows more than me, it’s not worth it. I like your attitude better. So I’ll try to start creating more.

[corlawesley]

Thank you for this. This helps a lot because I was struggling with limiting my screen time. Some of your videos I watch more than once because I wanted to use that information in my life and wanted to make sure I understood what you were saying. Now instead of figuring out how to listen to everything, I will just listen to what I need. Thank you again.

Great video! Honestly, it's one of my favorites. You managed to make the idea of creating content seem less formidable.

I do this thing called "tethering" where I tell myself that my phone must remain plugged in (tethered). So if I want to use it I have to use it in that physical location...which is usually somewhere not super comfortable.

I am working on using my non-doomscrolling time to create mentorship opportunities in my profession.

My why is doing my YouTube Channel. I just started and the joy of filming and editing keeps me off my phone quite well. Because it is a time consuming hobby and working full-time is I have to stay on top during the free time that I have left. 🙂

Just took crack book off my phone and tablet this morning. Fortuitously came across your video. My big “why” is learning how to share my passion for native plant / habitat gardening in urban yards. I’m not interested in being a talking face on video. I’d rather blog or do voice overs of short video clips of living things in my gardens.

Thanks, Gabe. It is a huge issue and I’m also trying to improve here. Sometimes I lock my phone in the cellar or the mailbox over night. It is hard but effective.

[kellydoeslife]

I cleared my Home Screen to one box of necessary apps. It’s so boring!
I find creating and editing so therapeutic, all thanks to your course 5HYT!!!

[sarahbull]

Thank you for this video. I enjoy your content. It motivates me in my tasks and makes me want to make youtube videos again.

[TheCreateOutdoors]

Well Gabe you are right: I'm not going to finish this video. Because I have some stuff I need to get done.

[amribnaas]

Gabe I Listen Your Advice In PIP Mode And That Works! ❤

[Oursimplelife]

Great info thanks. Your videos are always worth watching all the way through and I don’t feel I have wasted time. But so right about death scrolling…..escape for me.
