3 years back, studying was never a burden for me, its an enjoyment for me(i used to skip some games period too for studying, its fun)
now i am here, struggling to read a single page with constant concentration

I joined a club in my uni, just to make real friends and connections. Irony is that the members are all on their phones when meetings happens.

I think a lot of people undermine how the pandemic destroyed many people’s life/attention spans even after it ended. I don’t wanna be the guy who blames everything on something else. But one has to be honest, in my personal experience before the pandemic my screen time was 6-7 hours at worst case scenario. Now I would consider it ‘productive’ if it’s 6-7 hours a day (since my daily average is now around 10-12 hours). Before/during the pandemic I’d read books, finish them and write about them in three days (talking about heavy novels here). And study regularly. Now I’m stuck, fell behind my peers, and struggle to catch up. Though in less than a month my final exams second term will come up, and I hope I’ll come back to this video proud that I beat my daily brain rot and finished a chapter of my life. Great video!

I agree with that. Three years ago, when I didn't have any social media accounts, I was quite an elated and cheery person, and studying was not really a burden for me. But now, I am no longer that person, and I think I have wasted all my potential, with social media and smartphones being the primary reasons. However, I will find the old me within myself and will struggle to get out of this loop step by step. Even in the darkest moments, every step forward is a victory, no matter how small. 🙂

Gen z faces a real challenge of brain rot in this era. I'm having a semester exam in less than three weeks and I'm trying to catch up with my studies I left behind. Because of mindless scrolling through YouTube shorts and reading manwha, I feel so guilty for not stopping myself sooner. But this video really helps me out, I'm happy for the YouTube algorithm to make this video appear in my homepage 💌

my three rules for healing brain rot :
1. use pen and paper as your primary tools, computers as secondary
2. have longer seatings (1hr+)
3. nofap until you get the results

Get out of the comments and focus on the vide

if you want to go deeper into the rabbit hole, 'Unveiling Your Hidden Potential' by Bruce Thornwood is a must-read

I'm suffering from intense imposter syndrome after getting admitted to a top university despite dragging through high school. I've been rotting away on my phone this entire summer, worrying about the next four years that lay before me. This is THE wake up call I needed to hear and I truly appreciate it. <3

I'm in 10th grade and I had an exam coming up for which we were given 4 whole damn days to prepare but guess what I did? I wasted all those 4 days in scrolling or just binge watching NETFLIX when I was in the examination hall I wanted to kms but atleast I had a reality check from it, it's just the starting of the academic year so rather than scrolling in my free time I would go for jogging w my classmates.
Tysm Growth Lane for uploading this I really needed this.

[dipteeshukla]

real, i was viligant enough to realise this change in my routine and thank God i took a strong action on time. i deleted my instagram account, i ain't on whatsapp or any other social media apps (i'm still a student and i communicate by my mum's phone). trust me, life's much better now and i'm constantly improving my ability to focus every day by studying without even the slightest distraction.

[Deadlysoap]

This video perfectly sums up my day...
I know the Impact, I take action.... But this scenario replays itself everyday.
I feel lack of discipline and need of cheap dopamine is the root cause of this.
Working on this will hopefully make me a better person.
Thank you for reminding me how much time I waste in a day, And how much time I can utilize to improve my self.

Social media has a lot of information, and it's too much. As someone who loves to learn everything, i love social media but it made me have short attention span and FOMO. I didn't take care of myself anymore bcs I spent my time on social media, everytime I see myself on mirror, I feel bummed out so much

[mahejabeenfatima]

This channel deserves far more recognition. While I’ve been contemplating expanding my presence on social media, I’m truly relieved that I’m not involved with platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or Snapchat. There’s a certain satisfaction in avoiding them. Recently, though, I’ve started watching YouTube Shorts, and it’s troubling to witness how such mind-numbing content is impacting today’s youth, especially considering I’m only 17 myself.

[Dbinning]

I have my chem exam tomorrow and I wasted my whole day by scrolling through insta. I can't focus on anything no matter how determined I am, it's so scary how rotten my brain became

[bfxrtml]

I have experienced something even more scary, I don't know was that depression or not, but I couldn't focus on studies, whenever I tried to study offline there was a slight pain in brain, it felt heavy, I tried hard but failed after 2 years now I am recovering at a good pace now

[onmywaytofollowgod]

To be honest, my social media activities are under control. The main problem is this screen. Being connected to it for so long makes everything else feel useless and vague. Even though I feel most alive when I have my coffee, journal, and music with me, those kinds of free activities only last for 1-2 hours before I'm back to my screen (for my lectures and YouTube sometimes). When I'm listening to "Blonde" and staring at the ceiling, I realize life is more than just my screen, but I don't know what else to do. I have no friends in real life or on social media .... So in the end it's back to my screen

(I'm sorry if its too long i just had to say to somebody about my situation)

Hey guys as a currently disabled guy I'm no longer able to strike up to any real world hangouts or anything that my friends do so I just spent most of my free time on my social media cause i can't even sit in a chair cause of the tiredness that I have to suffer after a Full day school paired up with a 1 hour physiotherapy excercise & I'm still in highschool whilst most of my old friends are half way through there college & Travelling around the country, I feel like being not able to much rather than just study, excrecise & Hope for a better future for me as a Cancer survivors whilst my body is constantly deviating towards a Life threatening surgery that i eventually has to do

Although everything may seem a bit too dark in my life I am blessed with a loving family & some down to earth friends that really help me with overcome mooost of my things .

I hope everything is happening for the better
