ABS-O-LUTELY. I used to spend every spare second creating designs and illustrations that I was crazy about and that gave me SO much joy to create. Over the years that inclination had gradually been slipping away as I devoted so much more time and energy to instagram, to where I never reached for my sketchbook at all. I thought I'd just lost the passion. I quit instagram last week (not for the first time, but absolutely for the last), and I've already started drawing and writing again, almost involuntarily. I'm being pulled like a magnet towards the blank pages whenever I have down time, and things are flowing out. This is only the beginning, the withdrawals haven't even finished. I'm so excited to see where this chapter leads, I'm so much more determined to make something of my gifts after realising I spent so long throwing them away! Can only imagine what incredible undiscovered talents are being stifled by social media addiction...

In order to regain control in your life, you must rethink your relationship to social media, rediscover the pleasures of the offline world, and reconnect with your inner self through regular periods of solitude. Try deleting social media for 7 days and replace that time with offline activities that you value. I promise it will change your life. It surely changed mine, and I’m never going back to the way it used to be...

Whoever arrives to a chose destination ANYWHERE on the planet wins ;) 7. Trying to make someone (a subscriber maybe?) famous 8. Get hired as an extra for a movie/show & fuck things up 😜 not in a bad way obviously 9. TED talk? 10. Live Tinder? Similar to Jubilee’s version or as seen on the late late show 11. Behave like you are a celebrity and look what happens 12. Try to become local legends lol. (as in, do something around your neighborhood/city that people will remember for a long time and will tell tales about) 13.

I find myself often struggling with my time management a lot and I always just barely get things done. I struggle with waiting for the last minute to do school work or studying. KZread for me has become almost an addiction and I mostly watch pointless videos. This video was really eye opening and seeing someone delete was extremely motivational. Thank you so much!

One of the most amazing things about social media is connecting to others around the world, but it also brings our social skills down sometimes if we replace interacting through a screen rather than real life with people around us.

Make an app that challenges people daily to perform acts of kindness or things that are out of their comfort zone. The app could have a section for fears and insecurities and that could help personalise the experience of the app. Another idea for the app would be that it could arrange meet ups for fans and fan-organised events which push forward the ideals of spontaneity, kindess and seeking discomfort

After seeing this video it's the straw that broke the camels back. So I dont post to social media or have them setup to ping me with each new msg. (Thats annoying) But there is still information overload because i watch a lot of videos and read a lot on Facebook. So after seeing this video.. and for 3 days now ove ditched the information overload and have yet to go back to Facebook or much of youtube. I've also been meditating several times a day listening to waves crash on the beach noises. I plan to do this 30 days+. I'm 3 days in and I already feel better. I've been stressed and anxious since my failed IT business 2.5 years ago. I'm working out more and plan to start visiting friends more starting asap. So far so good! I'll come back and post the rest of my experience here when the 30 days are up. You guys rock!

This changed my life. I've been off of social media for 3 months now, I deleted my Snapchat, Instagram, and youtube. In this time my attention span has improved, I find it easier to talk to people, and I'm less stressed all the time. I used to not be able to read books or even focus on a single task at a time. I'd scroll through Instagram while watching Netflix at the same time, now I find my self reading for hours and staying more focused on tasks when I do them. I believe this is because I'm no longer being bombarded with notifications and checking my phone hundreds of times a day. I also find my self more engaged in conversations with people now that I don't open Instagram and start scrolling every time a conversation gets awkward, I was using my cell phone as a digital pacifier and it was unhealthy. The most important change is that I feel much happier now that I'm not wasting hours of my day and what will amount to years of my life maintaining useless social connections or browsing useless content. Thank you Yes Theory for changing my life and I strongly urge anyone who feels stuck or needs a change in life to try this out. It will change your life.

For me I just turned social media into a mailbox: deactivate notifications. I check it from time to time when I want, it doesn’t distract or interrupt me, feels a lot more natural & peaceful. Discovered this by accident by using the a social app where notifications don’t work (it’s a bug), but I found enjoying it a lot more that way! Happy accidents.

deleted it LAST Night,, and VERY Grateful for this and hope to check back after 30 days. LOVE you ALL :))

When you do this on your computer you are way more aware of it. It’s about the constant usage which is possible in almost every moment...

I saw this video 1 year ago and it inspired me to take the challenge. I did it for 30 days back then and it completely changed my life and the way I was thinking about myself,the important things around me. 1 year later,I still believe in spending less time on my phone,and every time I get back to using social media way to much,I'm setting a goal again. Thank you for this video

I absolutely love how meaningful, real and good quality content this channel has. Love love love what you guys are doing ❤

Very inspiring video. Social media really makes us expose to to much information and can cause us to compare ourselves to what we see online. I remember my self one day I was scrolling my IG and started feeling that my life is so boring and ordinary. I never felt like that before and then realized it is because what I see on other people IG. Seeing them going out have activities to do everyday make me start to compare my life to them. We all have remind ourselves that what we see online is not always what it really be and people have different lifestyle. Having a normal lifestyle is not a wrong thing and having a adventurous lifestyle is not a wrong thing either. It’s all depends on what you prefer most.

I watched this twice already and the second time i watched it, it hit me hard. Starting this monday, i’ll start my 30 days no social media. Hope i’ll make it and you too guys

In case if you missed the last video which was deleted! So this year things to come: Yes theory podcast Matt's ironman Yes theory book New show Next documentary Live event New apartment New yes theory HQ Next level editing 2 new members Sorry "yes theory" guy's but I love you so much❤

Rewatching this episode gave me the motivation to FINALLY clean my room, and I deleted FB and insta off my phone and I'll see how that goes. Thanks yes Theory

think of how much there is to watch when you finish those exams =D it will stay here so you can watch it then ^^

you can surely tell how focused and present he became I felt the same, books and not rushing immediate responses from people on social media make you feel more calm and clear in thinking

I'm going to try this right now, I wanted to do it for a lo g time because I felt like my body was begging me to stop using my phone so much. You inspired me to finally do it and I'm thankful for that. I'm sure I won't regret it at all. Thank you 💙

*posts on Instagram: day 14 without social media

Dude your storytelling skills are off the charts !! Amazing work you've done there. I would recommend you watch John Fish's video about the studies made on social media and their relation to depression and anxiety among teens and people in general.

Thank you for this video! Really inspired me to do that and improve my life and my productivity :)

Yes! I've done the 1-month detox a few times now and every time my life improves a bit more. I find it really helps to only use social media on a desktop computer / laptop but never on a phone. Now if I use social media I ensure that the purpose of using it, is to organise real life interaction, or a little augmentation of the relationships I have with people in real life.

ok, so now I'm going to go the rest of the summer with only being able to watch two youtube videos every day. I've gotten to the point where KZread is taking up so much of my life that I feel like I haven't accomplished any goal and I've become really lazy. I believe there is good content like YesTheory, Ted Talks, and other channels that I don't want to cut out of my life because they make me a better person, so that is why I will still only watch a maximum of two videos a day. Thank you YesTheory for this motivation!

Daily morning and afternoon walks at Captian Tilly Park 6. Replace my current employer. 7. Call my friends and family every day 8. Plan out our family weekend trips (birding & hiking) 9. Pack & distribute Savior Aid kits (like first aid kits but they fit in your pocket and sustain an injured person till medical help arrives) 10. Plan a wedding to my fiance of 6 years.

Great!! Since the beginning of the new decade, I've done the challenge for four times (Some approx 30 days and some for months), but now I'll begin with the 100 day challenge out of social media and day 1 is 9/6/2021, wish me luck!! and thank you for your wonderful content Yes Theory from Lebanon, you deserve all the 6.66M subscribers and even more!
