A highly requested project from you... it's FINALLY HERE! 👇 MY NEW PODCAST 🔥 (listen on the go!): podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wamyy5 Edit: I am SO blown away by your comments! So so so grateful for technology when it does serve us like KZfaq here, enabling me to connect and impact people to help them live their best, most fulfilled lives. I absolutely love reading your stories - thank you so much for sharing and interacting with each other. This comment section is so incredible - I can’t even put words to it! ❤

My attention span is so bad that I started reading comments while the video was playing

Who else is trying to get their life back? 😅

1.dont have dynamic tabs open 2. Minimize multitasking 3. Create no phone zones 4. Say I'll do it after [x] 5. Automate school hours on school 6. Be curious like a kid (be okay w getting bored. Be more in the present) 7. Consumer longer content (no 2x, listen to podcasts, read books) 8. Consume to absorb, not skim My goals are 3 6 7 and 8 I want to live my life to the fullest

the fact that i immediately put this to my watch later playlist right before she started talking about clicking away 😭

Realisation hit hard when she mentioned technology is not the problem, you are the helpless pawn in control of technology, damn damn damn.

"No phone on bathroom" while I'm watching it there🙂

it's funny because this video randomly popped up on my feed and before clicking on it, i told myself "you have the opportunity to decide... you can watch a burger mukbang and waste 17 minutes of your life, or maybe get something out of it". before it was even mentioned, i dared myself to watch the whole video on 1x speed and no distractions. it made me so sad hearing you talk about how you can start missing out on major events of your life by not being fully present bc just this year i realized how little i remembered from big life events that happened this year (graduating, finishing my internship, traveling, etc.), so one of the reasons why i want to work on my attention span is to be fully present during my upcoming trips this year! tysm for this video

Hearing that making long comments was actually a sign that I’m processing information better was extremely encouraging for me. I’ve been doing this more frequently and I hope it continues to benefit me. It’s comforting to hear that the little changes in my life are making a difference, like podcasts, practicing my instruments, and dance practice. I’ve been feeling really good about myself lately and been overthinking less. Sorry if this comment sounds roundabout, I’m a wee bit tired, but I just wanted to say thank you for giving great advice and I can confirm from experience that it works ❤ have a wonderful day everyone!

0:29 I was actually watching on 2x speed 💀

I didn’t realise what a terrible attention span I had until I realised I could barely sit through this video - but I’m going to try and use those habits to change and improve!!

I really needed this video because i clicked on it and immediately switched to another tab and started watching a movie, stopped the movie and started watched insta reels. 2 hrs later realised what i was supposed to do and sat with full focus throughout the video lol.

I took your challenge and flipped my phone over, turned the volume up, and have you full screen and just from that alone I realized how insanely over stimulated I am from my habits. I actually took notes that's how much you reeled me in. Thanks for making this I'm going to try your advice out moving forward!

After I deleted all of my other social medias, I started to notice that I not only used KZfaq much more, the way I used it also changed. Quite often I'd interrupt an educational video with fastpaced music, because I had gotten bored. This prevents me from gaining the knowledge from these videos which I veru rarely watch till the end. So that's the first step I will be taking: watching longform content till the end, no distractions. Thank you for the amazing advice!

I will focus more on studying and living every moment at its fullest. When I need to study, I study, when I’m playing, I’m playing.

Not me listening to the whole video thinking I'll take brain-notes and literally forgetting everything she said just half way through the video. And now i've started watching the whole video from the very beginning again 😭

This video made me realize how I am never deeply focusing on something. I’m always thinking about what’s next and never take time to simply absorb what I’m doing. Thanks to your tips, I will now try to stop living my life as a to-do list and start really live in the present. Whoever is reading that comment, don’t forget that it take time to heal, don’t be hard with yourself if you don’t immediately see changes

as someone who's easily distracted, this is a real lifesaver; i always procrastinate because i end up getting distracted by the tiniest things.. your videos genuinely can be applied anywhere and i love them

As someone who's undiagnosed with adhd, tysm for not blaming phones. I am so tired of being told my problems come from my phone when i literally study with no notifications, deleted social media and i only play video games half an hour or so after a whole day of studying.

This video is a genuine life saver! I am so used to watching shorts that I could barely watch a video for over 10 minutes! This video has been a big help and I feel so much better knowing I can finally experience life to its fullest.

I want to be fully present when I am studying, at work and when I'm exercising. I want to be fully present around friends, loved ones, colleagues and clients.

my main goal are my studys, to increase my attention onto one lesson at a time and actually understanding it i hope i can

**CW for a philosophical mention of death** When you think about it, our attention span gives us the key to make literally anything interesting. Whether it be a class that seems boring at the surface, or some album with a song that seems like a lower point, or some dead TV show no one talks about anymore, or a family reunion you feel disconnected to, or even your own life & death, when you don't have much else on your mind, and you throw yourself into a situation, noticing absolutely everything about it with your undivided attention, you become way less caught up in asking for more. You don't ask for a different song, you don't ask for another class, you don't ask for another season, you don't ask for different people, and you don't ask for immortality. You remain content where you are, making every situation work, being happy with what you have instead of resentful for what you don't. That constant appetite for bigger & better is replaced by a deep, somatic satisfaction.

I don't want to miss out on studying to my full potential, and I'll try my best to pay full attention to it I'm going to adopt following habits ; Minimize multitasking Say I'll do it after [x] Consume log form content Consume to absorb not to skim Automate work / school mode on phone

This is one of the only times KZfaq has given me something that is educational and helpful. These are all wonderful tips and I look forward to trying my best to using them.

i would try my best to apply "no phone zones", "i will do it later" and if possible "consume to absorb" habits in my daily life for a week. i swear this video was so great as it gave some real solutions, it was as if Amy was talking to me with how she actually guessed what i was about to do. i felt validated and listened in this video, while also calling out the problems. i literally feel that i have adhd but belonging to an asian household where these things are only going to be used to taunt the person. i was scared to openly accept this, thanks for this video it made me feel that i can actually fight this thing without anyone's help that seemed impossible for me. every rule was if made for me to improve and have a great life and get my dream college and live with full potential. Thanks Amy, you are like an elder sister for many of us. I hope you a great mental health while your application process. You are a life saver......LUV YAA

my adhd self is thanking you Amy . ever since i join this chanel i have been improving . Honestly my attention span is really short i find myself doing my things in class instead of listening to the teacher, yh funny thing is i feel guilt every time i dont focus especially in class. anyways Amy i love you .

I didn’t know that I was actually in need of this video, my KZfaq feed came in clutch. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I noticed that my attention span has been fried since summer started and because of that, I’ve been living such a monotonous and sedentary lifestyle. Your tips are definitely doable, which makes it easier to try starting!

i know right away after watching that this video will literally change my life. I've been missing my past old self that used to cope and synthesize things better but now that my attention span is getting shorter and shorter, i lose my sight on how to be seeing things like i used to. but now that u r leading the way, i feel soooooo much better and much more confident to start this journey again. ur video inspires me lots, thank you!

Amy you are literally saving my life omg Here are the tips i can remember 1- be fully invested in what you are doing 2- minimise multitasking 3- have no phone zones and times 4- try to consume more long form content rather than short form content 5- read more and listen to more podcasts Dose my fav 5 and ima try to implement them into my daily life as much as possible from now on.😻

As the older sibling who feels burdened by everyone around and still trying to get in THE way of living i want.. Thank you Amy you are literally the older sister i never had.. Thankk you sooo muchhhhh

im watching this at 3 am after playing minecraft with some "friends" i was supposed to sleep early today and i feel terrible now , i saw you video a few times ,just the miniature, and i always told myself , "i need to watch that video ,you need it" and finally did it ,i really want to change my attention span ,i always thought that i had a poor memory and i was like that, but i realized that i can remember certain things that i focused in and i didn't felt dumb for the first time, i had a phone since i was 8 , that really affected some of my core memories but right now in the present, i want to change, im doing it because of me and a better life for me.

I really like the advice in this video. When I go on my phone during long car rides, it makes me feel lazy, it doesn’t make me feel any better about myself. Looking out the window or reading books during car rides makes me feel better. In fact, looking out the window, as said in the video, makes me think about life, and makes me have philosophical thoughts. One thing I’ve also started doing, that was said in the video is writing things down. Usually I go on my phone and write down things in my notes app, but as this coming school year is getting closer and closer, I think I will try to start writing things down. I have a small, spiral notebook that has a wood-like design on the front. I got it at a birthday party when I was younger, and I think I will start using that notebook instead of using my notes app. Using my notes app as a to-do list makes me feel enticed to go on TikTok, Snapchat, or KZfaq. I’m not allowed to have Facebook, Twitter, etc. Although I have restrictions, I agree with those rules as it helps me not be as “chronically” online. I have asked my parents to set screen time limits for my social media: TikTok at 30 minutes, KZfaq at 30 minutes as well, and Snapchat at 20 minutes. Although the only reason I use Snapchat is to maintain “Snapstreaks” with people and quickly look at peoples’ stories I know to keep up with them, I think this is harmful because sometimes I spend too much time on Snapchat, looking at peoples’ profiles, and I use it too long, so I set a time limit on it. I think Snapchat is kind of addictive so I may even ask for my parents to set a 15-minute limit on the application. TikTok, the most addicting of all. TikTok is the app that parents, schools, and elders hate. The most hated, unappreciated app. Said to lower attention spans. I think that is very right. If you give a child TikTok, they will start to use their time inefficiently, especially if you don’t set any limits on the content they view and take in. It is very hard to limit on content they see, and they can become very lazy and have “brainrot” humor. I suggest to not get on TikTok at a young age like I did, and that’s why I’ve started to set restrictions for myself. KZfaq is less bad for you, although KZfaq shorts is an entirely different story. KZfaq shorts take TikTok, and makes it worse, with more “brainrot” content. I don’t know why KZfaq ever developed KZfaq shorts, other than to get money, because it is horrible for young children. Luckily, I never was an avid KZfaq shorts user. KZfaq itself, however, is not that bad, as long as you set limits and don’t watch crappy videos for hours on end. The only place I don’t have a KZfaq screen time on is my computer. That is because I use youtube to help me better understand the subject matter I learn in school. As I’ve said, I suggest making limits on all your social media. I actually deleted KZfaq off my phone and TikTok of my iPad to encourage less use of the apps. Snapchat I have on both my iPad and phone just in case I can’t find or use my phone and I need to continue my Snapstreaks. However, the screen time limits still work for both those devices. I still have the same restrictions across my devices, other than my laptop, but I only use my laptop for school. I’ve decided that I’m going to try to go to bed earlier, around 8pm, unless I’m up studying. However, when I’m studying, I will give my phone to my mom and not let her give it to me unless I’m done. Thank you for this incredible video, Amy!!

Something I don’t want to miss out on is high school, because I am just getting out of middle school, and the entire time i was there, i wasnt able to consume anything from longer books to even just assignment dates mentioned by my teachers. I want to fully be able to reach my academic potential, and also experience more things before i am officially an adult. I mainly want to focus on tip numbers 3 and 5, because having no phone zones (ex: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom) will help me spend more time with loved ones, and designating time to studying will help me flip how my grades look, and help me take stuff i learned in school to real life.

Thank you! You spelled FACTS right there! I sucess fully absorbed all of your tips and subscribed because this channel is gold for really anyone ready to change! I’ve already applied some of these like the only but completely focusing and dedicating yourself on the one thing you are doing, and when you think of doing something while you’re already doing something, write it down and tell yourself you’ll do it after doing X! For my case it was fully watching this video before praying, and I can tell it’ll be very motivating!

WAKE UP!! MOTHER HAS POSTED🗣🔥🗣🗣🔥🔥

As someone who is easily and always distracted, these actionable steps are life changing. I love the way you're not just skimming over the problem and give general advice but provide concrete solutions

This video has appeared a lot of times on my fees but I always ignored it, idk why, today I finally clicked on it, I don't have a bad attention span but I believe I can improve it, thank you so much for the video and the tips, loved it!❤

This might just be the first youtube video that I have fully watched through without multitasking and absorbed in a good 7 years. Thank you.

"seeing what taylor swift did on her latest tour" TARGETTED AUDIENCE REACHED

Hey Amy, I just executed this method "I'll do it after [x]". My problem: While working, I used to get distracted with my own thoughts or less important work which used to get into my mind. So, Instead of procrastinating my important work, this time, I procrastinated my thoughts by writing it down on blank paper. The moment I did so, my brain became empty and was able to focus on my current task efficiently. Thanx Amy for your valuable video. It's literally working. Love from India ❤You are osm. A request: Can you make a video on communication skill - How to speak clearly and articulately?

You motivated me at the point that I started working on a task I’ve been procrastinating for months. Thank you.

Hey, Amy! I just want to say how thankful I am that you made this video. I think I was meant to find this video! I've been spending so many years wondering why I can't seem to focus properly and regain my confidence in my focus back. I will definitely try your tips, especially the no phone zone. Ever since the pandemic, my focus has been haywire and I can't seem to enjoy reading my favorite books anymore. I will be liking this video and saving it for future uses!

I'm so excited for new podcast episodes! I love your earings btw, they are so cute! You're killing it!

Your videos are so helpful! As a highschool student with hella work, its rlly helpful. Your videos are truths rather then JUST tips that flood one's fyp page

"Don't skip or speed up this video" That felt weirdly personal and somehow perfectly timed 👀👀

this is the first time I'm watching your videos, and it has really inspired me to get my life back together. Pre-covid i used to be an avid reader and would also write cus that's what my passion lies. But I've been wasting so much of my time that now unfortunately, everytime i sit down to read a book, or think of new plot ideas, i get distracted and end up not doing what i initially had planned on doing. But now i feel positive, listening to your tips and i know that i will not give up and start doing the things that i love again.

Love that you released the video when I needed it the most

For me, I would try to improve these of the following: 1. Minimise Multitasking 2. I will do it after [x] 3. Reduce short-form content 4. Only watch necessary or related topics (while taking a break or before studying)

This video made me realize I NEVER watch KZfaq videos all the way through. UMM…. This really opened my eyes I’m saving this link so I can come back to this whenever I need a reminder to focus on school or anything😭

I've been running away from time alone, without any distractions. It's easy to not think about your problems if you distract yourself with social media, but in order to get where I want to be, I need to face them head on. Thank you for the tips (I'll be working on "No phone zones" and "I'll do it after X") and I wish everyone luck on their personal journeys!

perfect timing my teacher scolded me very badly twice because i didnt focus in class i just cant stop daydreaming and singing and dancing in ind while class your a lifesaver

Thank you ! This video is extremely usefully especially during summer break

I randomly found this video and I clicked on it out of absolute boredom , I have never even realized how short my attention spam is and how much that affects my life , I will try to follow your tips as much as possible. I am so glad I found this video 😄😄

I'm almost never present in the moment as I constantly think about something else. This made me realise that's the number 1 thing I need to work on. I will start with 2, 3, 7 & 8.

I want to be rich, provide my parents a better life.

Thank u so much Amy as a person with ADHD I am struggling to study❤

genuinely thank you for this! very helpful

I had so much more focus through elementary and middle to even high school and am trying to regain it. Thank you SO much for the video, I took NOTES

Hey Amy , just wanted to tell u that whenever I used to watch ur videos before I would directly put it on 2x but today when I started watching it , I could really patiently watch it . I think that may have happen because I have deleted Instagram and Snapchat which show short form Content ( I don't watch YT shorts or if I do I just watch from my favourite creaters on notification) for a week . I tried to avoid social media because of you cause you said how it's attacking our attention span . I really love how You are just the big sister everyone needs . Thanks for doing all this ❤😊

Wamy really I'm following your tips and you can't believe me they are really helpful ❤️‍🔥 Keep supporting you as always 😇✨

3, 5 and 8 are the ones I do need to target upon. Getting rid of the phone and fully embracing the moment, setting boundaries for myself during different periods of the day, and when I'm with technology, focus. Thank you for the video, I really needed this!

I can happily say that I was able to make it through the *entire* video on 1x speed (usually I watch videos on 1.5 - 2x speed while skipping around). Along with that, midway through the video, I got a bunch of Discord notifications and I told myself, as you said, "I'll look at the notifications after I finish the video, then write a comment." and clearly I did that! I'm really proud of myself for it. This summer break, I have been really trying to work on myself as much as possible in many different ways. I have been trying to better my hygiene, go outside more, and focus more on my hobbies instead of living on the internet. I have improved in all of those aspects a lot and I have noticed that my screen time has gone down significantly. Along with that, I also aim to pay better attention in school, hence why I watched this video in the first place. One of my main hobbies is learning languages and while I've been able to focus a lot on Spanish, I will admit that I've gotten lazy with the other, arguably more difficult, languages I've been learning. I'm really hoping that this video, along with others, will help me regain my ability to self-study instead of depending on a class to get me started. Thank you *so* much for this video, seriously. I appreciate the time and effort you went through to make it! To everyone who reads this, have an amazing day!

Hey Amy, I'm a middle schooler in the middle of a screen plague. I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I am already as mature as some of the 20 year olds here. I just wanted to thank you for making these long form videos because I know people that want to change. Just like me. I'm scared of growing up and not having any focus at all, but you posted this video that made me realize it's really simple. So thank you, Amy, thank you for saving our generation and you're truly an inspiration. I watched this video and knew that I might like public speaking about my interests and passions. Keep going ❤

"Fully being focused on one thing is not thinking about working when playing and thinking about playing when working."

I remember when I was little they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up? And although I said one or another career, I really always imagined myself simply living, Enjoying nature and myself. So that's why I wanna be present today!

Thanks for this video. I’ve recently reached a tipping point in my life where any time I’m not doing something menial and easy, like scrolling or playing video games, I don’t have much interest in whatever it is I’m supposed to be engaged in. I’m sick of feeling that way, and really want to find the means to focus on what matters to me! Coming to an awareness that I wanted something to change was a good start, but having a set of goals to follow and steps to take to improve really helps.

My attention span has gotten so worse that it scares me. I want to be better but I get distracted everytime! I hope that this time I can fix it. Thanks for the video Amy!! 💜

I’m glad I already do some of these. I’m starting my senior year soon, and I really want to enjoy it. I’ve met so many amazing people and I don’t want it to end and think “what happened”. I actually erased TikTok a month ago, but I still find myself consuming short content on instagram, this actually made me realize it’s time to turn of those notifications and read the book I’ve been procrastinating for a month. Thanks lots.

Hi, Amy! I am honestly so grateful for this video. It only popped up in my feed today, and I decided to watch it. It is truly a life savior. I am currently in college, Nursing, and my last year of high school, as well as my freshman year truly ruined my attention span due to to the multiple tasks I juggle. I didn't liked that I couldn't focus as much as before. I could read a book a day without using my phone or doing any other unimportant task in between the reading, but now I couldn't do just that. Watching this video made so much sense because some of the tips are actually the habits I do before I had bad attention span. Thank you for reminding me that being able to focus on one thing is a key to being truly able to fulfill your goals. Love lots!

I truly appreciate all the effort and work you’ve put in this video. This is a life saver video and I don’t even exaggerate when I say it. My brain has been so burned out for so long that I couldn’t even understand when people were talking to me right in my face. I’m watching this video with tears in my eyes.

The tip of listening to podcasts and doing something at the same time is really helpful for me because everytime in class i cant focus while writing notes and listening to the teacher at the same time. That really helps, thankyou ❤️

thank you, amy. this is my first video i've ever seen by you and you caught me at the perfect time. i've noticed i've been scrolling more and more and more lately, and because of executive dysfunction with my adhd I really have just felt like a helpless pawn and completely felt like I lost control over my life. i also got my first job recently, about 3-4 months ago, so when I'm at home my main excuse is "ohh I'm so tired I'll of my laundry/clean my room/exercise/eat healthy/learn tomorrow, for now I'll just scroll" and it has been actually destroying me a little bit. i posted a video on here a few months ago, and since then I have tried to record 5 videos, multiple hours worth of content, and for one reason or another none of it has made it onto my channel, sometimes it is legitimate problems, but other times? i am just flat out lazy and procrastinated so much that I just deleted the video and gave up. while watching this video, I was crocheting, so I wasn't completely 100% focused in but maybe I can blame that on neurodiversity and using crochet to fidget while I do things LMAO, but while I was watching I finally set a screen time limit on my phone. i know it's a small step, but I'm finally going to take control of my life. on my payday this week I'm gonna get a gym membership, and I'm going to actually try and take care of myself and take back my life. you really truly have no idea the amazing things you're doing amy, you're changing hundreds of lives for the better, so you're basically changing the world

Thank you so much for this video! For the past years of my life, I’ve been daydreaming about a better life. When I go and try to achieve it, my attention spans will spin me back to my daydreams. But this time, I won’t let it happen. Goodluck everyone!

Thank you so much, Amy Wang. I fell asleep trying out my intention span and your video really exposed just how bad my attention span it. You were right about everything. I fail in almost everything.

Not me watching this on 2x speed, while shopping for summer dresses on another tab and also plucking my eyebrows!! 😭😭😭😭

I see my 2nd fav Asian teacher/ advisor, I click...1st one being Sally from one of the Google courses..sorry.. can't beat her 😂

I didn't even realize that the video ended that quickly. Well explained!!!

Woah that really made me realise how little I actually take in information from the countless videos I watch on a daily. Thanks for the video !!!!!

WHY IS THE VIDEO SLOWED DOWN 😭

I do not want to study

I've been spiraling the last hour, ty for this video, ill definitely follow your podcast

I watched a shorts the second this video started, but i still watched the whole thing it's helpful actually

The way that you speak,give life advices just hits different. Right now i'm a dermatologists,but i always love your videos so much❤

I literally had such a bad attention span, I wasn’t present in the moment, I was procrastinating, I felt like a pawn. This honestly helped so much! Thank you!

This is great advice! I’m going into my final year of school and want to make sure I’m present for every moment, so having a longer attention span will really help me soak everything up! I’m to start by reading more, only consuming valuable content online so that I pay more attention to it, and trying to multitask less in everyday life, as I often find myself thinking of two things at once. I also really like what you said about only keeping the phone in certain rooms. Not having the phone in my bedroom would be life changing. Thanks for making this content to help people like me!

Thank you for making this video! It’s honestly opened my eyes about how I’m not really living life to the fullest, and in order to experience it more deeply, I need to fix my attention span, I’m going to try no phone zones and observing and being curious like a kid, once again thanks!!

I really like the way you make life simple and sweet. Just listening to you makes me feel more responsible, dignified, and smarter. Thank you, I find this video really helpful. I hope others can learn from these lifelong improvements.

Can't thank you enough for making this, I was once (and still kind of am) a troublesome spot myself where my attention span was embarrassingly low, I found myself disinterested often, and I've found it hard to set limits and schedules for myself to help integrate my day and make it productive. I know full well that didn't have to last forever - I didn't have to just envy people, I could make myself who I want to be, it just takes work. Work, and small steps. You can start improving yourself, it isn't impossible.

Thank you for this video. I am having troubles juggling school, work and parenting and listening to you has given me great insight on what I need to do.

thank you so much for the video Amy. you're such an angel and a good guide. God bless you ❤

Couldn't watch this last night so here I am on the treadmill finally watching this 🙌

these are like actual tips thanks so much

This is very interesting. I will apply your advices in my life from now. Thank you!

Wow omg this vid really kind of changed my mind that I am making these bad decisions and not someone or something else. This vid helped me a lot more than other videos and the realization hit a lot harder than most videos and I want to thank you for that. You just earned another subscriber!

I am actually so proud of myself. I sat down, took notes and tried to be present. My attention span has gotten worse lately and I stopped living in a moment (I used to be kinda big on that). But then I was like ''wait, I can literally do anything I want'', so here I am. I usually never comment on videos but I wanted to say I'm glad I found your channel!

this made me realize that the things a lot of people do including me are actually damaging our attention span, this video is very helpful! thank you for the advice i hope i can become an even better individual :)

Thanks a lot for this video. I was just scrolling on KZfaq, procrastinating a project of mine, and this really helped motivate me

I honestly needed this. My attention spam has been getting shorter by the second, especially bc of summer. And it’s not easy to change it, but little things like watching your videos has been helping me, and I much appreciate it.
