i do wonder in a few decades, when us gen z's (and gen alphas) grow old, how many of us will look back at our lives and regret how much of our life we spent on screens.

social media addiction ruined me. i used to draw and i am so full of ideas, but now i cannot even pick up or sketch because it felt so dull and it wasn't the same, i used to draw with passion but now it seemed like i forgot to.

Im a 34 old psychologist and your age made me literally speechless. I just discovered your channel and im binge watching your vids. They are really helpful. Keep going!

I just deleted tiktok and limited my screentime to less than 2 hours. I actually feel so much better, days are longer and i feel relieved

This is an eye opener. I’ve been on summer vacation for only 4 days and I’ve literally just been switching from my phone, to my computer, to my tv. Today I tried going outside but I got bored after 2 seconds and I went inside and got back on my phone. After I got bored of scrolling a few hours, I decided to try sewing as I used to be really into it. I got bored of that after like 5 minutes and went on my computer 😭 there’s something seriously wrong with me. I’ll be starting this dopamine detox tomorrow!

Im turning 23 soon and I ended up quitting my job a couple months ago due to a robbery that happened there😅 I am now looking for a job I’ll at least not be miserable at but most of the time I’m just being lazy and super addicted to screens, eating junk, and feeling bad about myself. I need out of this rut so bad💔

Detoxing is tricky when social media is apart of my career. It’s possible but it takes a lot of discipline… but you’re an amazing motivator so thank you for pushing towards this much much muchhh needed detox !

good stuff man. i've been aware of this / doing this since mid 2021. its genuinely a gamechanger when you put the responsibility on yourself and recognize that nobody is coming to help you. for people in the comments, this isnt a few day change, this isn't something that comes and goes, this is a lifestyle. choosing to pursue your interests, give your actions intentions and meaning, and living in your best interests can and should be something you do forever.

Hey bro, greetings from Italy. I'm trying to become a more productive person, and your videos are really helping. This in particular shows how BAD is actually short content like reels and tiktok. Keep going and never change! ✊👐

The timing of this video is crazy, confirmation for sure🙌🏾

As a Teenager, I have been really struggling recently mentally and I also thought something was wrong with me but seeing this video I felt a massive weight off my chest knowing other people felt the same. Thank you so much.❤

Thank you Abraham. I really needed to hear this

thank you, i really needed this 🙌🏻 waiting for your next video bro

This is the 1st Abraham video I have ever watch and I was immediately drawn to hear everything you were going to talk about and everything you had to say interested me really well, and I don't really pay attention to these kind of videos!

I needed this man, I’m going thru a lot atm & shi is draining me. I recently deleted all my socials cuz it made everything worse for me. But Ik god by my side tho🙏

don’t be shy drop the next vid 😭

super good video ! and yeah i'm addicted to my phone and all the signs you said in the video resonate with me thank you so much for sharing this idea of dopamine detox beacause it's about time i'm searching about it thank you so much man !

good video bro

thank u so so much abraham ur videos really inspire me to chnage which ik i will. i have made a lot of progress watching your videos and i genuinely wish the best for u man. u seem to have evolved so much spiritually even wearing the maala (we call it that in hinduism) around your neck. thank u ❤

I love A Man's Search for Meaning!

when you were calculating the years and stuff it really hit me because 26 years spent looking at a screen like thats just crazy to me . its true tho we need to stop our screen addiction but thank u this video really helped me

absolutely love this video! I’ve been trying to chase real dopamine because I noticed myself constantly switching between social media apps instead of just getting off my phone. Will definitely be starting a dopamine detox soon

Im not a teenager im 24. Good content always! Iove your acc

Working on reducing my screen time on unproductive social apps

Thanks bro because of you I have drastically reduced my screen time for entertainment but i still have an average screen time of 6 hours because most of my work is done on my ipad like editing and stuff , is it okay or should i just reduce my screen time to zero ?

tryna keep you on my reccomended

explained my life situation last year

You have majestic hair.

the focusing thing is called adhd and his voice is attractive

This video just confirmed my decision to quit Instagram for a while!

I’m trying to do better I’m 22. I’ve spent the last 10-12 years on my phone. I feel like i didn’t really develop enough things about myself during those key points in my life. I dont know who’d I’d be with out social media.

Luckily mines over time is at least 1-5 hours within a week just with KZfaq only cause I would watch it on my tv instead but somehow I’m always in my room sitting down even after doing errands and chores cause I have no social friends etc 😕

You said multi tasking is not productive, but what if i focus on one thing this day and then on another thing the next day? Do you think that's still unproductive? Because i have many things i want to learn / do, If you think it's still unproductive can you suggest any way i can balance them.

My screen time is about 3 hours and 30 min a day would the be considered bad? I feel like I’m on it all the time? Also you,re one of my favorite channels love the minimalist style of your vids keep up the good work!

Why do people struggle to see that technology and social media, though neutral, are powerful tools that can either help or harm us? In this 21st century, we see an epidemic of information overload, memory loss, constant distraction, and growing dependency. These issues come not from the technology itself but from our unrestrained and unconscious use of it. We must choose wisely: to use these tools to enlighten and empower us, or to let them lead us into a maze of losing our deepfocus and attention we sometimes forget what matter to us in the moment. The choice is ours, to use technology with intention and purpose, or to be consumed by its vastness.

If u can’t do it for 30 days just go to jail n don’t get bonded out

I have some follow up questions. Ive seen your older videos and I did commit to a dopamine detox and "monk mode" for the first 4 months or so of the year but it just all starts falling apart eventually. Lose 20 minutes of sleep there, sleep in once, check your instagram messages, look at ur friends phone while hes scrolling tiktok, and bam, youre right back to where you started. Its so hard to be so strict on yourself consistently. How do you overcome this? I also have a follow up question, you say by doing a dopamine detox i can spend time on stuff that really matters. Well what if to me, video games and such do matter? Dont get me wrong, at my current stage, im totally just gaming as a way to abuse my dopamine levels, but there are video games ive played, movies ive seen, books ive read that I do not regret consuming and that have actually had a positive impact on me. Ive always been passionate about storytelling and such, so how come youre fine with books, but games, movies and perhaps music is off limits, when they all can portrait the same message/story? Or maybe im just using this as an excuse to keep gaming. I also find online games with friends to be benefitial to our bonds and friendship, though I guess theres a limit to all of this. My final problem ive been having trouble with, is the fact im 16 years of age. When i look up to you, its so hard not to make the excuse of "im only 16, i can allow myself to game for another 2 years, Abraham is successful, and he was no better then me at my age." I get that by commiting now im helping my future self by a ton and putting myself at a huge advantage, but its so hard to even just subconsciously not use my young age to justify cheap pleasures. How do i overcome this?

Checked my screen time and im seeing 70hrs per week. Wasted time. Just imagining all I could achieve with those 70 hours. Social media is really killing us

I spend a decent time on my phone but 6 hours a day on average is crazy when I spend 6 hours of my phone it’s usually when I’m on a road trip or something

You doing God's work💙🦾🎯💢🎁

I’m about to be 18 and Why is mine 12hr and 55min and I’m mentally struggling

❤

A New World by Eckhart Tolle is a book that writes about things like this

would an hour a day use of video games okay? strictly an hour, and then thats it for the day. I wonder if it would still affect my attention span.

ABRAHAM no LINCOLN

hes right and is hot

Where s the Turkish subtitles?

Man, I got 14 hours on KZfaq today alone

Back up from your mic

It always bothers me when you mention "you teens" as if I'm already supposed to have my life together at the age of 22 and not be soo weak minded

Thank you so much! You are helping me to change my life🥹
