With this step-by-step approach, you can reframe procrastination as a means of reaching your goals.
Scrolling is no longer a pointless waste of time, but an opportunity to find value in what other creators have to offer.
Of course, procrastination is never ideal, but why not make it less damaging, and maybe even valuable?
This solution is simple, quick to implement and will give you access to great bits of wisdom, advice and insight.

One thing I can promise you is that when I purge my feed, your channel is staying. There are very few online sources which have as consistently added to value to my goals as your videos. Keep rocking it :)

Really appreciate that, glad I survived it

Same here. Having ADHD I accumulated more than 300 KZfaq channels in my subscriptions over time, and this one is one of about 30 or a few more that will have the right to stay.

Bruhh these social media apps like instagram are made in such a way that once you open it you just cannot stop scrolling.

I'm afraid this doesn't work on Facebook, 4 out of 5 posts I see are from users or groups I am not actively following, it's just something the algorithm shows me because it thinks I might like it and these posts are often exceedingly dumb. The purge would require me not to just go through the list of things I am following and prune it (I did this a long time ago) but to click on most of the posts shown to me and hide/block/snooze that user. I don't have other social media but as far as I know, Instagram and Twitter also show you a lot of not followed content.

@alakazam15 3 ай бұрын

By which I mean that I am afraid it's impossible to escape the dumb content.

@tuzadam5555 3 ай бұрын

Great advice. I'm surprised why I haven't thought of this myself before. I've been using KZfaq almost like this for years, and it never occurred to me that I could also do this on other platforms (like X and Instagram). Thank you for the video. Keep up the good work!

@odysseas__ 3 ай бұрын

You'll probably find the most helpful content on youtube, so at least there's that. All depends on who you follow. Thanks too!

Recently i started to organize my actions on the internet like saving and followed things and i am picking one of my lists that i made for that day and for a day or maybe a couple of days of the week besides working i am also able to improve myself about the topics i have interests and learn new things. And at the end of the day i check couple of mins of social media and watch something before go to bed. I think this is a good balance between an actual working and using internet as a productively and entertaining. In that way i can have everything had done and dont missed a thing but of course for doing that it needs amounts of effort, discipline and dedication. It’s not easy but who said it will be easy right? :D

Part of going against demons involves training, to sit and hear words. The training was of the most deprecating, honorific lies against our person said to us in envy, strife, calm rage (unrighteous indignation) and worse by our closest friends. Although we knew it was an exercise, the human animal part of us always failed, always lashed out in defense after a time. It is impossible to be ¨above it all¨ so the goal was time. You’re in a battle. You must be able to last long enough to get the job done. Soon, you´ll need to start posting videos to your Website as an integrated format of something hybrid between KZfaq (which is right now failing and will soon fail) and The Internet.

You film with your phone? Wow. Could I please ask what you use to edit your videos :)

@odysseas__ 3 ай бұрын

Yep, does a good job. Premiere Pro for editing

@hananberjawi9627 Ай бұрын

Idk but my problem with social media, especially instagram and tiktok, is that I keep consuming what people are doing, feeling some sense of jealousy and comparison the way you described in the multiple interests video, which led me to this video and then I hit the subscribe button :) so how do you think I can avoid that without deleting social media?

I have done this on rare occasions, I hate cleaning so much that sometimes I would study to avoid cleaning.

Another reason to get off Facebook, they've started showing all kinds of content you didn't follow now.

Does reddit fit this idea? Because on reddit you generally don't follow particular insightful people, you join communities, and even though my communities fit my interests, my feed is full of pointless, low-effort, copy-paste content.

@odysseas__ 3 ай бұрын

The idea is good, but as you say, it might fail in practice
