I still love the grayscale option. I find my head doesn't explode when everything is grey. It's calming. Thank you! 👍🙂

Great video as always Nathaniel! I deleted social media for a week as an experiment and the quality of my life has really improved. Now I use social media almost exclusively just to upload my content. I went from 5h/day to 30 min. Keep going!

That is why we subscribe to Nathaniel, cause this dude adds value to our lives.

Honestly you're one of the best youtuber I've seen in my entire life, your advices are really interesting and your way of thinking is unique. Please keep going!!

One of the channels that inspires me to document my own experiences. Thank you for the videos! I'm a big fan of your decision to change your life around by moving to Mexico, you're living the life I want to live hahaha :) All the best!

How to become more *PRODUCTIVE:* *1. TURN OFF* notification for every app except the important ones, messenger, messages, calendar, and etc. *2. SURROUND* yourself with positive ideals online or in reality. *3. JOURNAL* your day.

What are 3 things I have to absolutely do today?” Journaling is really just a self-checkin on your health and self. Then taking action right away, or the next day, after journaling.

Go further! You don’t need notifications for whatsapp or messenger, if it’s important enough then they’ll text or call you. Trust me, it really helps.

So glad to have found your channel, man. This platform and social media in general need more content like this. I’ve been actively working on a lot of the steps you’ve laid out in this video myself over the past 6 months and have noticed a huge difference in my life, though I definitely still have a long way to go.

Fantastic video, Nathaniel. Really love your content, keep it up. Loving the aesthetic

This really needed to be talked about. Thanks for that "You're not alone" message, I totally felt I was the only one feeling that way. Everyone else effortlessly networks on social and I just observe. From now on, Minimalism it is!

You are one of them few real and genuine youtubers that remain, never change!

"It's okay to let them go," something I needed to hear :') Sometimes I feel obligated to follow people I'm semi-friends with, aka people I haven't talked to for years; but you're right. If they're meant to be in your life, they'll find a way back. Thanks for this video!!

🙌 I’ve got much respect for you. You are trying your best to spread love and how to live a good life. Thank you for all you do. 🙌

you have a huge impact on my life i'm so thankful that youtube recommend your channel to me despite all the "youtube clutter" on my recommendations. i didn't delete youtube because of your channel it keeps me grounded and more focus on what i should be doing rather than watching a youtube drama. thank you so much for not having a toxic content.

First of all , your smile and voice warm my heart. Second of all, I needed that video. Third of all, please keep going with this series l . Much love ❤️ I'm waiting for your Sunday live stream xx

I liked the phare that changes are always hard but once youve started - you cannt stop. That is so truth!

so glad I found your channel. these are definitely things that more people should talk about and promote for

Excited to watch! Your videos have been helping me so much, thank you.

watching this video i realice that i was doing a lot of this things for years, cleaning the list i follow, spam, the way you think... i realice that im a minimalist and i didnt think about it since today. thank you fot that! ill start to change more things and learning from you! thanks again for your work and keep going!

I have adopted your way of organizing your files in the cloud and your mail and I think it has been completely successful now everything is in place, easy and fast to access and without distractions Thank you

I love LOVE all the shots of Mexico in all of your videos. It's so refreshing to see something other than LA or any other American city

I stopped using Facebook Instagram Snapchat and twitter. It took me a few tries, I just made a video on it, but it is the BEST decision I ever made

KZread is the demon for me. I have too many interests and I am excited by lots of kinds of content. So I spend too much time skimming through a lot of videos. Often times I find videos which only have a nice subject, but are tackling it poorly. Back in the day when I would only watch beauty tutorials, I could actually remember everything I watched and came back to it in times of need. I really don't know what to do. I'm in a kind of lonely time in my life and I enjoy watching people's experiences or opinions or whatever else is on here. The problem is that I always feel a need to check out and catch up (I think) and I always end up spending way too long here. Nathaniel, I'd love your two cents on the KZread issue (ironically, as someone pointed out)

I had the exact same issue which was even more of when online school started. I was on youtube 24/7. Not kidding. I would find every moment to be on it. I too felt as if I would miss something really important. What really changed this was by disabling the app on my phone (because it cannot be uninstalled on my phone) and forbid myself to log onto youtube while using my laptop. This need did not come automatically. I'm not a saint. It was the fact that I had to appear for exams in school, amid the pandemic because, the school authorities thought that everyone would cheat, which is partially true. Being completely aware that our school is known for failing even the top students, the fear of failing prevailed over losing some content over youtube. I saw most of my friends either completely giving up their mobile phones is disabling all the social media apps. Initially, it was hard. I have to be honest. My body physically reacted not getting any stimulus. But my condition got better and now I can finally say that I do not have the fear of loosing out on content (at least for now, on youtube) I would highly recommend reading the book on digital minimalism by Cal Newport. It drastically changed and also gives a method which is radical but, tried and tested, effective to altogether forgo the need to be online 24/7. I know that this is a late reply and really appreciate it if you read it till the end. Hope you have a great day.

Another fantastic video, Nathaniel!

Thanks Nathaniel, I have deleted my accounts on social media and watch your videos when the life is a little bit harsh and you guys like Matt D’Avella never made me give up

Man, I've been in a marathon of your videos! I mean, not only because you look like my boyfriend (although he does not think you two look alike at all) and I have a respectful crush, but because your content is amazing! Inspiring, beautiful, useful, meaningful!

I love your digital minimalism content..thank you for creating them.

It’s amazing to see how much your KZread channel has grown over the last couple of months. It’s really inspiring to see, especially when it looks like you have tried the KZread thing a couple of times and now it’s paying off. It seems you have put a lot of work and research into how to get your videos to a certain standard and how to attract an audience through your content. You are doing a great job. Well done :-)

Best channel on youtube right now and your videos are really helpful for me on my journey to find mindfulness.

After so many years of watching KZread, I write a comment probably for the first time ever. I just wanted to express my wonder about how inspirational a person can be! This is the third video on your channel, that I've seen( the first two are where you learn Italian in a week. And I'm in the process of mastering French myself, so they've been of huge help), but the connection is already there. It just clicked somehow! So I just wanted to thank you wholeheartedly for all the inspiration and shared experience. Its a wonderful thing to offer the world 🌼 P.S Probably not going to rest until I watch all the videos on this channel :)

Just wanted to thank u for what you are doing. Thank u for this inspiration I really needed and couldn't find for such a long time. Keep going, good job ! 💛

Stopped the video at 6:50 to comment: There are only 3 yt channel's for whom I kept notifications on. You are one of them. I don't always watch your videos immediately, but at least you go into my "watch later". Your videos give me this warm feeling in my heart, that even though I am struggling I am not failing. It is like this, because you are very genuine and authentic and share your own struggle and don't erase your shortcomings for KZread. I am 27 years old and after my military service I struggled a bit in collage and now I am finishing my masters degree. Jordan Peterson says we should get our surroundings clean/clear before we change things on a bigger scale. I've got the feeling, that in many ways you are helping me to get my shit together and clean up my mindspace. BTW the mindspace app helped me a lot to cope with my ADD. So thanks for this recommendation in one of your videos.

I've been using less and less facebook and Snapchat since being in high school and it feels amazing but this has helped encourage me to purge my KZread subscribers that I just ignore and never watch their videos.

Your video style is so chill but so artistic and motivational, I love it

I really, really, really love this. Thank you! Your content is beautifully composed and so insightful.

I went from following 98 people on twitter to 24. This video helped and made me realize, thanks

My favorite series!

Maybe I'm the only viewer from Mexico, your videos are very helpful, greetings bro. Btw your editing style is hella nice

Great tips, Nathaniel. I’ve done much of the same. Being deliberate about the types of notifications we receive on our devices is huge. These are the types of things that interrupt us during usually more important work and serve to reinforce shorter attention spans. ¡Un saludo! -Jim

I had to stop your video to FINALLY unfollow people from school that I just followed because I felt obligated to do so, even though I‘ve never been friends with them. Thanks for your great advice, I feel so much better already!

Your videos alone are the detox everyone needs in their life! #RoadToMentalClarity

Your video came as a saviour for lot of us. Keep up with the series. Would love to watch them. Looks really helpful. ❤

I freaking love you and your content. I just had a long conversation about this with my gf, who was debating unfollowing certain people in her life. It's refreshing to hear all of these points again. Turning off notifications from Instagram, and doing regular 'purges' are some of the best decisions I've made to have a healthier relationship with social media. Great video as always, cheers. Oh- and she's been studying abroad in Florence and I showed her your learning Italian in one week videos. Completely changed our perceptions of learning a language.

Man, it was incredible. I love to see tours and Matt's videos

Very grateful and thankful for this video. Currently on a social media leave. Thank you.

For some reason, I subscribed you at 0:44. I never knew you. But the minimalistic approach in brolls and the vision inspire me man!

Thanks man, I needed to listen to these words!

Well said!! This is what I do from time to time. Use technology and not let it use you

I love your content. Very helpful and well presented. I discovered one of your videos yesterday and have been binge watching ever since, starting from your oldest ones. In regards to this topic...I think that, for me, removing all social media apps from my phone helped reduce the time I spend on them. It now forces me to go to my computer to see what's on them, and forces me to actually talk to the people around me when I'm out and about, instead of whipping out my phone and wasting time looking at Facebook and such.

I really love your content it makes me feel focused & motivated to get things done ... thank you so much ♥️

Worth to subscribe ❤ Love the messages 💕 It helps a load and inspires me to keep changing.

Finally I’m early to your videos

Powerful message if you want to be productive!

I love this serie, really. Thanku so fucking much. Ur content is clean, minimal, simple and awesome. U deserves 70 million of suscribers. Hope u continue with this

You are now my new Matt D'Avella. I love your contents. Pls dont stop making contents.

You deserve a medal. Really.

One of the things make me addicted to youtube is these kind of self development channels. I feel like I'm learning a lot from youtubers like you and it's hard to stop because it makes me feel like I'm throwing out all of this important knowledge. But then I watch too much youtube and don't do my homework :)

Yep,One year ago i did this,and it work really well We prove that the people that really wanted to stay actually they called me and found me (through life we learn that if any person wants you to be in their life, they WILL contact you, search you and personally talk to you). Besides, this is good for mental health and to progress on other areas of life. You are doing a really good work with your channel, keep up the good job!! ☺☺ P.S. please enjoy tacos and quesadillas because I miss them dearly!!😄 Being at Europe, food is Absolutely not the same, enjoy the food and the city! Have a great day!! ☺☺

Good job Nathaniel ! I can totally relate to this whole deal of following things that do no good , I deleted my account and created another a while ago cause it was really exhausting . Content honest as always

I really love your content and the way you present it. Keep up the great work and a big thx.

Social Media want us to spend as much time as possible consuming content. That's why It's sorely important to stop and ponder how to take the most value out of it. I also don't follow my high school friends, because I've noticed they aren't worth my time whatsoever. Keep it up bro!

Best digital minimalism video

Thank you for this. I’ve been off of Facebook for a week and I feel great!

Already did this almost 1.5 years back, friends went to less than 100 & I get to see positive posts mostly now.

Great stuff Nathaniel! It is wonderful that there are vlog posts from a community of people about topics that can bring meaningful change. I have just started a channel and found it to be a great communication tool as well!

3:03 "And let me just say that it's okay to let them go. If they're meant to play a role in your life, they will find a way back into your life. I promise you." I just want to add, that if you want someone in your life, if you want to be in their life, then reach out to them. We don't have to wait for everyone we want to find a way back into our lives, we can reach out. Great video. Thanks.

This is exactly what I needed 😌

I have been doing this for almost two months, there are many ups and downs in my experience but when I was thinking about am I the only one who thinks this way, I came across your channel.

"Remove the fluff": I'm glad you focused attention on the number of accounts/followers and how we kind of 'accumulate' them in our social media. And I agree with you in every bit about this. I'll be graduating from my UG uni soon enough and there are like just a handful of people that I've literally bonded, with trust and add value to my life and daily positivity in my life. But I've followed so many others just for the fun of looking what they are up to and all, and the number has become hefty & looking at it, I just see numbers, not people and it's somewhat unsettling & I have no idea how to 'remove' them because I want to. I don't even know half the people and I don't want to keep people whom I don't even talk to and don't like (sorrynotsorry). So I have no idea how to go with this or reason it out because if not anything, I've spent quite some part of my life with these people and I _know_ that our relationships won't go beyond that place, but I don't know whether it'd be right.

Fantastic video, people really need to understand this message
