WHO AM I:
I'm Dean, a filmmaker, photographer, creative, and nature lover from Cape Town, South Africa. I now live in the US creating and exploring. I create videos that help poeple break the system and find creative, financial, spiritual, and geographic freedom. Because who wants to be trapped under someone else rules! I care about the planet, protecting our environment, the importance of travel, and being able to work for yourself and from anywhere.
In between, I'll share my travels, experiences, thoughts on life, short films, and how I made them. This channel will be everything and anything ME. I'm interested in so many different things and this channel will reflect that:) I hope you enjoy it!

I like the idea of verbally saying what you're going to do when opening an app. Most people don't know that the apps are designed to put you in a place of state of mindless scrolling. Because when you're absent minded, you don't pay attention to the time. The more time we spend on these apps, the more money they make. It's not even about the algorithm showing you what you want to see. It's about showing you whatever will keep you scrolling longer. And if you really think about it, it's often what you don't like...... Things that make you angry or emotional that keeps you scrolling. So having that awareness that the apps are designed for mindless scrolling should always be front of mind. Be alert. This is where that advice to verbalize what you're opening the app is key. And also that tip about staying out of comment wars because they serve the same purpose for the platforms. They're designed for endless arguments in the comments. Like was said in the video, it's not worth your time. Great video! 👍

If I can add a tip. When in the office or even at home, try treating your phone a like a desktop pc. Put it in one place and leave it there. And only use when you actually need to check something then put it back. I'm currently trying this out. It's is hard but I find when I stick to it, I avoid the pitfalls of social media in general.
