Hey! Just wanted to mention that I still watch KZfaq videos, check instagram, and respond to emails. I now just have more dedicated time blocks in my calendar to do so _on my computer._ That way I'm not constantly checking my phone for updates throughout the day. I hope I expressed it well enough - but I have nothing against smartphones. For me its just a matter of being more intentional with my time and with what I consume. Anywho, I hope you have a great day :)

"This is my friend. My dad." Is a lovely sentence and sentiment I will think about for a long time. Love your videos!

Deleting Instagram then googling Instagram is so relatable 😅

This made me want to spend more time with my dad.. and less time with my phone..

I really appreciated the addition of your Dad in this video. Not only because he's entertaining but also because we often view phone addiction as the younger generations' problem. This video was a nice reminder these technologies impact everyone.

I'm so happy that Larry is a main character on this channel because he's such a wonderful dad!

Steps for anyone wanting to try but has a terrible memory like me: Week 1: - invite a friend - get an alarm clock - create a speed bump - calculate existing screentime - set goal Week 2: - delete apps - remove phone from bedroom - turn off notifications Week 3: - meditate daily - spend 24hrs straight without phone

I came for inspiration on being more screenfree. I stayed for an INCREDIBLY cute and wholesome father-daughter dynamic. I had an abusive father whom I never see, but this gives me hope for the kind of dad my children can one day have 🥺 okay, going offline nowwwww!

263 apps.... maybe I need this video more than I thought lol

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite KZfaqrs!

Alright you convinced me! I'm going for a run now, instead of watching KZfaq. Thanks

your dad having 8 hours in the beginning is really relatable, also y'all are so cute

Your relationship with your dad is so friggin' cute!

Usually what helps me when I have an urge to use my phone is taking out a book instead. It's nice to take a break from technology for once. Awesome vid!!

Your relationships with dad are sooo precious❤

i LOOVE how your dad does this kind of stuff with you and is all for it, not many dads would do that! What an amazing video!! Favourite one yet!

This video made me cry. I hope my husband and I have relationships like this with our kids one day.

I can already tell that buying an alarm clock and removing my phone from my bedroom will be super beneficial

I never comment on videos but this was so wholesome, i love your dad and the relationship you have. He seems so excited for being included and you guys did great:) you earned a follower!

This is the purest and most wholesome challenge I’ve ever witnessed

This is the first video i watch on your Chanel and I love it. A love your vibe!!

The fact you did this with your dad is so wholesome 😊

Your dad is so unbearably lovely! Love your videos Makari, you’re such a great source of inspiration and joy!

I’ve been trying to reduce screen time… My phone just consumes me and my peace! This video motivated me to take proper action.. love your content ❤

how can a video be soooo wholesome. u have an awesome dad and your energy is contagious.

this is one of the best videos i've ever seen

You and your father are so cute!! love it!

The effort you put into these videos is so amazing! So inspiring and fun to watch Makari (: The layout and editing on point too! Keep up the good work (;

I forgot my phone at home once and went to work, the most freeing day of them all! I feel so light that day ❤

I wasn't expecting a video that fun! I love itttt

i love this. I was severely addicted to my phone and social media. It messed with my ability to focus, my mental health and study more than i knew. I knew i had a problem when I started to get irritated whenever my phone was not in reach and it reminded me of my nicotine addiction. I‘ve weened myself off my phone how i did when I stopped smoking, it was shockingly similar. Lots of steps how it described here in this video. I try to keep my phone away from my desk and bedroom, when i study, i keep it in the bathroom for toilet breaks only and i deleted instagram (never had anything else) more than 6 months ago at this point. I am so glad i did. I feel a calmness again and realise that sometimes i will just be „bored“ on the train or in a super market queue, with my mind wandering in thoughts. I have not been lost in thoughts in years and i was delighted to realise that daydreams came back. I will try now the 24 h without phone, i didn’t even think of that. This was a lovely video ❤

Thank you for that! I've been wanting to actually get rid of my phone addiction and I'll follow the advices. Also, you have such a cool vibe that I just subscribed instantly!

This is the first video of yours that showed up on my recommended list, and I thoroughly enjoyed what you had to say and how you said it! I think I have a problem with too much screen time so I may just give some of these things a try. Great job!

Love this and love that you did it with your dad!! I'd be so interested in an update after a while to see if you kept the screen time down, and if so, how you managed it!

Your dad is skyrocketing up the charts of my favorite people, lol.

Your relationship with your dad is one of the most wholesome things I’ve seen and I love how you integrate your relationship into your content!

This was so cute, I love your relationship with your dad

These last few weeks I’ve been trying to find ways to limit screen time and failed so this video is perfect timing! 🙌

This experience with your dad is just the sweetest thing, Your sense of humor and comedic timing is great. Awesome video overall and it makes me want to do the same!

Your dad being your friend is so relatable

The best part was definitely the 0.5 seconds of epic escalator footage at Best Buy + anticlimactic conclusion 👌🏼

Hi Makari, thanks for this absolutely wonderful wholesome video. I have been struggling recently with my phone use, and this is another inspiration. I really enjoyed the simpleness of it and the editing that kept it very "pure". You and your dad seem like lovely people and good job on making this journey! Im happy to subscribe! ❤ Would love to see more videos in this category, I would kinda struggle with apps like the News or Airbnb, that I could still doomscroll when i delete my socials.

incredible video. came for some tips about phone addiction and got a powerful reminder to spend time with my parents and loved ones.

This video is so cute! I love the father-daughter dynamic you both have. It has definitely motivated me to start this “challenge” by myself

This is peak KZfaq. Congrats on your relationship with your dad, wishing you peace and love!

This was the most wholesome and helpful vid I’ve seen in a while. I genuinely feel better after watching this. And inspired!!!!

Wow, I'm glad you are such good friends with your dad. This was a good video thanks so much!

Hey Makari! I edited Reclaim Your Brain and this video has made my day/week/year. So glad it worked for you and thank you so much for sharing your journey

hi! just wanted to say that this video brought me so much joy. and not just becuase i am in my "tired of phone" phase but because of your interactions with dad and all this lightness and warmth between you! thats so so cool! wish i can do smth like this but it feels strange as we all adult and tend to be serious and independent today idk but this video feels like a safe space. thank u and have a nice day!

This is one of my new favorite videos on KZfaq, so sweet and well structured!!!

At first I watched your videos right when you posted them and always felt amazing afterwards. Now, I wait a while to watch them when I really need the motivational boost that comes with every. single. video. you post. Thanks for that! ❤ I'm gonna go for a run now 😄

I just found you on my recommend and I'm stoked to have found you! New subscriber here and thanks for being great and sharing this small journey with your dad as well!

I just love your channel so much.

That relationship with your father is just…. so beautiful.

This was such a cool video. Reminds me a bit of matt davella and Nathaniel drew in their early days on youtube.. Really great video!!!

This was such a fun video to watch! Love your sense of humour.

i love your videos Thanks for posting

I just found your Chanel and I really love it & I love your videos!!! Please don’t stop making content. You’re hilarious🙌🏼

The underlayer of this video -your relationship with your dad- is sooooo beautiful. Keep growing this KZfaq channel while having fun. You're a breath of fresh air, thank you for sharing your creativity with us!

And here you are making me addicted to your video's 😂

this is a brillant idea and good to implement, I will definitely be trying this out!

i dont know how you do it but your positivity is so nice and inspiring. Please stay always like that forever. Greetings from germany. :)

The algorithm brought this channel to my page and I'm enjoying the videos. Great job, you deserve more and more subs!

i just look forward for every new video and you and your dad are a GREAT TEAM!

That's a wonderful friendship you have with your dad. This is another fun and inspiring video. Thanks for doing all those activities and sharing the adventure.

This is so wholesome ❤❤❤

I loved this video so much. Your relationship with your dad is amazing and it was so wholesome to watch the two of you together ❤ in order to speak with my dad I need my phone but for the rest I'm so interested to try this out! Thanks for the amazing content! ❤

17 seconds and I’m quickly subscribe. The vibe, the editing, the topic!

This is such a good idea! I struggle with apps like YT which I use for yoga classes as well as wasting time watching shorts. I wish there was a way around that sort of thing.

I absolutely adore the relationship you have with your dad. I had a very poor relationship with a dad with a lot of issues that caused a lot of trauma growing up, and it’s heartwarming and cathartic for me to witness the loving relationship you both have together.♥️

For that reason I acquired an Apple Watch : keeping essential stuffs like music, podcasts, GPS and an alarm clock out of the phone. Unexpected behaviour : the Apple Watch encouraged me to move more. And it is a fantastic accessory to manage timers for any purpose (productivity, tea, cooking, etc). Great content, by the way. And the way you arrange the video clips is very professional.

What a beautiful video

I don't know why youtube started recommending me your videos, but I've watched all of them and they're all great! Also, I think I need to buy an alarm clock now.

Your dad is so cute, I love him! 😭😍

She is so talented with what she is doing. Amazing 🤩

The relationship you have with your dad is heartwarming!

From Sitting in my room thinking how I can focus more on my work to crying because you have such an adorable Dad. Great Video, Keep it up!

This is awesome and such needed content!!

STOP IT 😭😭😭😭😭 please you are making me bawl my eyeballs out thinking about my dad!!!

Instant subscribe! This is the first video I’ve watched of yours, and everything from the topic and your editing to your humor and dad-daughter relationship just inspired me so much! Greetings from Denmark ❤️

This is my first video that I’ve ever watched from you but I’m so glad you came on my feed; this video is so entertaining, valuable, high quality, etc!! You have a bright future in KZfaq! Keep it up!!!
