Does it count as wasting time if I'm learning that I'm wasting my time?

"9 Avoid using phone in bed" Me: is literally using the phone in bed

Fun fact: There was a time when no one used the internet. At...all!

What I've done is: 1) I set a 1h limit per day for all "bad" apps in built-in Screen Time settings on my iPhone (under App Limits). Meaning that if I, for example, watch KZfaq for 1h, then I am locked out from other "bad" apps for the day. Forces me to prioritise (but usually just ends up 1h of KZfaq and 0 to everything else lol). 2) Then I also set Downtime between 11pm & 8am, meaning all "bad" apps will be locked out no matter what between those hours. 3) Then I got my GF to set the Screen Time Passcode to something I don't know. That means that if I will run out of App time (#1) or will be trying to snoop around on my phone at night (#2) I will have to get her to unlock the phone for me. And usually I have too much pride & shame to ask her, so I don't. This setup is free & doesn't require any apps for anyone who already has an iPhone & a partner. Result after about 4 months: I barely look at my phone anymore, since it practically useless (only thing I do is read business emails, but never reply from the phone) & have read about 9 books that have been hanging in my "To Read" checklist for years.

I really enjoy this channel. Your content is more educational yet more entertaining than 95% of "influencers". Hope you get more support and brand deals.

My tip for #2, instead of deleting apps I turned on maximum battery saver mode for a week. Only phone calls and messages allowed! My phone usage went from 4 hrs a day to 30 minutes.

To break my habit of playing Overwatch, I changed the password AND the email address. I gave both to my mom. Now if I want to play Overwatch, it better be a damn good reason, because I'll have to go to my "mommy" and ask. Considering I'm a 30 year old man, this was a very effective method, which has worked perfectly.

Lovely. Been off facebook 2.5 years. Insta 6 months plus. My only social is KZfaq! Keep on trucking guys!

this video just made me want to go on the toilet paper scroller

wow I really had to restart the video after it finished because i was not listening and was on twitter (on my phone, video is playing on my laptop) i might have a problem, thank you for making this video edit: wow I really had to stop the video and rewind like 6 times because I kept doing it. def have a problem. gonna go drop my phone off a bridge now

I need to quit KZfaq. I spent 45 plus hours per week on KZfaq

I haven't used Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or any social media since 2011. I feel like I have no friends. I have one account I use to sign-up for stuff that requires it, but I have no contact with anyone on it, and never look at it. But don't worry, I have found soooo many other ways to waste my time.

Amazing advice! 😎I'm a big proponent of less internet! I use the app you mentioned called "Focus Me" on the phone and computer. My husband has the password... it's brutal, but beautiful.😄 Getting a regular alarm clock gives no excuse for having the phone in the bedroom. We bought dumb phones on Amazon and used them for 2 months. ☎️It was great except taking pictures with a smart phone is so easy (and texting is way easier). Now we've scaled back and do "no phone Sundays"... usually.😜

Great video! I agree with a lot of these. My husband leaves tons of notifications on but he ignores them. I can't. I changed all my sounds so I would stop reacting to every bing and ping his phone makes. Anything that wants to send me notifications needs to prove its value first. I use the BedTime feature on the iPhone and like that it plays a little tune to remind me to go to bed. I also took FB off all my devices and only use it on my computer. I try to logout each time I finish with it. It really helps. Finally... getting a watch that notifies me really helps. With two young adult children and several elderly relatives a was/am on call for, knowing my watch would notify me helped me stop checking compulsively. Keep up the great work.

Love the kiwi co actually!! Great vid Wheezy!! My kids are huge fans and now they have one for older kids so really enjoy that!!

Great advice! I love your videos, especially the recent ones you've been making with Chyna!

Dude, I love your style, your content, your messages. Everything is awesome. Love it thanks!

Within the first 2 mins of the video - I deleted FaceBook and rearranged my most used apps so I’d have to do an extra scroll to get to them. Thanks WheezyWaiter!

I just want you guys to know, I really enjoy your videos. You're really funny people who make it enjoyable to watch your content. The topics you choose are well researched and the observations you provide are insightful. I've watched a lot of your videos and always feel like I come away feeling better about myself (somehow lol) and inspired. I think this is content that KZfaq needs more of in general: inspiring videos.

Love this video! I took a two week break from social media last month and it was great! Thanks for all the tips!

Seeing this channels revival over the last couple years makes my 13 year old heart so happy. Wheezy is one of the first channels I watched on my iPod touch

Identify your urges: Wheezywaiter videos This video literally made me procrastinate school work (but is was still helpful). Thanks Craig!

I watched this video while eating dinner w my parents the other day, and it's made me want to stop procrastinating and use the month of may to curb my sleep issues, which are hugely linked to my internet usage personally! Really scared I'll just end up relapsing, but my internet addiction has basically ruined my sleep so it feel quite nice to be taking a step in the right direction

Out of topic bit, I have my AP Government exam this Monday, and I wanted to thank you for your Crash Course videos, they have helped me a lot and I feel confident on acing the exam! Thanks!

I love that you mention getting a library card!! Libraries are amazing! 💕

I watch this channel at work and I love it! Your folks are the best!

Thought Craig was going to say procraigstinator like one of his older vids. Besides that note, i really enjoyed this video. All creative and ideas. Thank you Craig and Chyna!!

Awesome video, Craig! I'm going to try out the Digital Wellbeing app.

for me my timewasters were things like facebook and twitter and youtube... to the point where they felt more like chores to keep up with. So i basically did a massive purge of unfollowing pages and unsubscribing from channels until i was just left with the ones that i really genuinely enjoyed (congrats you made the cut!)

Here's one you forgot...move to the mountains or way out in the country...if internet service exists, it most likely sucks real bad. Keep up the great work. I find your videos to be highly entertaining and somewhat informational too. Glad I stumbled upon you and subscribed.

What I love about your videos is they are simple.. Thanks from Brazil!!!!

I’ve spent dozens of hours of my life watching WheezyWaiter videos and now you’re telling me to stop? I’m on a roll, and I have been for about a decade!

Your overview of Kiwico brought me so much joy and made me laugh out loud. It must be super convenient to not have to go to the doctor anymore now that Aida can make sure you're healthy. Too funny. Thanks Craig. I needed a laugh.

LMAO "Ah, to be 12 again"... lolol I died

Great Video! Nice sense of humor and very refreshing. Hi from Germany :)

One thing that helped me with KZfaq was to never sign up for notifications and to unsubscribe from nearly every channel and instead rely on my feed for random stuff related to what I've watched. If something shows up that I'm not interested in, I'll mark them "Not Interested" and use the "Tell Us Why" button to mark that I'm not interested in the channel or video (or that I've seen it already). It goes against what this channel would want, but it helped me keep from wasting so much time on youtube and my recommended videos end up being more interesting.

Sometimes people just need to tick their tocks 🤷🏿‍♂️

When I first saw you (yesterday) I thought you may be little weird (too many jokes, talk too fast).🤯 But now (less than 24h and a couple of videos later) I really like you. 🙈 You are smart, authentic, very creative, and entertaining! 🤩 I may not even be able to live without you again. 🥺 I love you, Craig! 🥰🥰

Quit FB back in March. I pop on to check messages because unfortunately some people don't know how to text or call me 🙄. But I did keep my channel social media. I have to say it cleared up a lot of brain space so I could do art and right now I have a garden growing in my bedroom to prepare for planting outside. Great video and great advice!

This is my favorite new Wheezy video! I also wish I had kids or even knew some for the Kiwi Co boxes, looks dope. (:

I have a dumb phone! It's great. Also very satisfying to slap it shut. (I'm nearly thirty and I've never owned a smartphone. I don't know what kind of person that makes me, but I'm not mad about it.) Then you can supplement that with an iPad (for checking emails and other stuff), but make sure you only get on with 16GB so you won't have any space to download anything, and the apps that you do have space for, well, you'll only be able to use if you can find free wifi or the permission to use someone's smartphone to hot spot.

I use the forest app to block me from using my phone when I should be studying, I've found it to be really helpful over the past year. Thank you for all of the advice in this video!

Yo da best Craig glad your back on KZfaq :)

I graduated in '95, so I am able to reminisce the 90's as a teen. I was much more sociable then, since I had to seek social interaction, physically. The strange bit though, is that for many years now, since I returned from living out of state back to where I'd grown up...is that I purposefully avoid the people I used to seek regular, steady interactions with. The internet doesn't provide same level of bonding possible between two people as does the physical interaction, but it does have its ups. I can change my mind instantaneously without wasting time. I do like that about the internet age.

honestly just turning off push-notifications on my phone made a huuuge difference for me already. Those are designed to work like a slot machine in a casino so that just made me say no.

Craig you are my new fave youtuber, why did the algorithm take so damn long to put your Chanel in my feed? Currently trying to binge watch your vids - gonna take a long long time - Yey (punch an eagle as it flies past)

I just paused the video to say that Chyna's bangs look soooo cute!

I tried putting my phone on the other side of the room, and now I have 2 phones... Seriously.

This video literally came at the exact perfect time. I'm starting a limited internet month tomorrow.

ugh ur so good at videos i love ur vids

Like everyone I struggle with this, but here are some tips that have worked for me: 1. Don't have a smart phone. My old dumb phone works fine for calls and texts but not for social media. 2. Use a Chromebook (or similar) for working. It's super simple and has all I need for work (Google slides / docs and internet) 3. Turn off the wifi at night. In the morning I get some time to myself before family wakes up, I drink coffee, read a book and / or meditate. I am not tempted to turn the wifi until everyone wakes up. Having a few hours every day without access to internet helps my mind to wander freely. 4. Re-instate the concept of sabbath. Have one day per week when you have an internet-free day. Try to do nice things on this day: go for a walk, buy a coffee out, that sort of thing. That's it.

Very interesting tips. Thank you.

I signed up for 🥝 crate....Thanks for the promo code! I've been wanting to try it for some time now. 🙌

Thanks for making fun and informative videos.

I rearranged all my apps in January and it REALLY helped with mindless scrolling/breaking muscle memory. I think I need to rearrange them again. Maybe I’ll start doing that every first of the month or something, so I’m constantly rechecking myself.

This is funny, clever and really good editing!

I love you Wheezy, you're my beautiful bearded eagle-puncher. You always make me laugh.

2:34 “here’s my phones desktop” *vomits*

I usually would do an internet detox during the summer for 2 months at least, but now that I'm on KZfaq and run a Facebook group, I don't know how to quit it. I want to so bad b/c it really does mess with your head, so I feel like the timing of this is absolutely perfect.

Gosh darn I love your videos!

Newsfeed Eradicator gave me my life back 😂 Now I just need a solution for KZfaq... - Signed, 2AM bingewatcher 😂😂

I remember people talking about this new thing called "The Internet", and one news program they said there wasn't much on it, and it would probably not catch on.

Just installed Stay Focused to prevent myself from getting on the internet as much! Thanks!

I love your videos mate! Greetings from Poland

Always brilliant and useful :D

Oh boy, nothing better than watching a wheezywaiter video after a long day

How real, and also funny are your videos. E-Greatings from Buenos Aires Argentina.

Wasting time on the phone isn't a big deal if you balance it out with life and normal things. I might be a tad burned out on social media because I constantly have to manage a youtube channel but I could care less about looking at instagram or twitter. If I'm looking at those things its because i actually have time to waste. Facebook is dead, I use it only to buy and sell used stuff locally. So aside from the blumpkin worth of youtube I watch instead of any sort of normal TV I think I'm good. Maybe that's just my specific age category of 35? All my friends are too busy being parents to waste time on facebook or instagram.

Quit smart phones from May - August 2018. Read 4 novels, three textbooks. Quit again a month ago. Read 4 textbooks (all math - the language of the universe is a good language to know, ready to tackle Calculus finally). I go to the library - 2 hr internet limit - and look at a limited amount of stuff. I walk to the library - 2 miles each way - to stay in better shape. Smartphones are an all consuming evil & must be destroyed.

congrats on your 100k on your second channel :)!!!!! next up....1 MILLION ON THIS CHANNEL!!!. It'll will happen in 16 months and 17 days

I've deactivated my Facebook account back in October cause it was taking over my life and have not been back since, I do miss it sometimes but know I'm better off. Great video btw, you really know how to pass the info and/or advice on without being preachy about it.

So enjoyable, as usual!

My mom got my niece a kiwi subscription and she loves it! Last month she got a kit to make a printing press with 😃

Love you guyssss

So I open up my KZfaq and a video of yours was in my recommendations. I decided to click on it because I'm one of those people that goes into a black hole on KZfaq. I'm glad I did! I love you and your family's humor and content. New subscriber! :) 💖 . I love that video on cutting out time on social media, meanwhile I've watched like 6 of your videos🤣🤣🤣 💖

i love chyna’s bangs!!!

Hei is there a problem for using movie clips as B-roll? Please reply..

I use forest pretty regularly for studying, it's super helpful and even makes the process somewhat enjoyable 😄

I got off Twitter by freezing up and panicking when one of my favorite celebrities (verified) DM'd me and being too terrified of saying something stupid to respond at all. I feel horrible about it, but I've been off Twitter for 10 months now.

Hey, OG viewer here! I've been using Kiwi co for 2 years for my Daughter. It's great and she loves it. Their costumer service is good too. Would recommend!

Ur style is so cool

ok now i want a full video of that cute little baby inspecting chewbacca to check on him mdr

I think Wheezy just condoned stealing library books and going off "the grid". Which I guess means no internet... so congratulations? You win!

I never have any notifications on and for me turning them back on helped. I don't have many friends, I don't get a lot of notifications. When they were off, I would check my phone regularly to see if I had a message and usually I didn't but then I stayed on my phone. Now I only have to look at my phone when I actually have a notification to look at!

Wow loving all your b roll I need to try this 😉😊👍🏻

I legitimately believe that Craig reads my mind and always has a solution for all of my problems.

i recently started using Forest again and it's helping a lot... kind of sad how i need the prospect of digital trees to motivate me to experience life without my phone, but...

I'll have you know: I find you funny and delightful. So much so I actually paid attention during the "ad".

I like the book idea. I spend at least an hour or two on my phone in bed before I go to sleep and after I wake up. I'll just have to get an alarm clock because my phone has always been my go-to alarm as well.

*Why not move to the Internet, it's great here. We get to live inside where the weather is always awesome*

Cold turkey helped me write my dissertation so much, there’s absolutely no way to break the block

Remember when you looked forward to going home and opening that door just to see the " blinking number" on the phone machine ?? ( talking 3 decades now) Funny today I LOVE seeing NO messages on the cell.... back then a blinking 2 was bad ! anything 4 or more was EXCITING as it gets

Ada with her toys is so cute I cried a little

You're a funny guy. And I like the message. I quit using social media completely, except for KZfaq. No more Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and LinkedIn. And boy, I do not miss it at all! Do I miss out on some stuff that my friends share online? Sure. Do I mind? Hell no. There turns out to be this magical real-life world that's awesome and stimulating and rewarding.

I love it when the Wheezy's done

That’s going to be my new “it is what it is” when it fits; “sometimes you’ve just gotta tik your toks.”

I find it easy to stay focused on my computer, but hard on my phone. My rule is if I want to check social media, I have to get up and go to another room. That energy has cut out a lot of phone checks that were just from boredom.

I was always going on puzzle type game apps instead of actually watching whatever I had on the computer, I decided to just uninstall all of those apps and so far I haven't gone back and I don't really miss any of them - just proving I didn't need to be doing it in the first place!

“...you can’t escape. THANKS FOR WATCHING!” 🤣😂
