I need it. I feel like a zombie when I notice how long I keep looking down at my phone.

My new habit: I check my emails, social media and messages 3 times a day only: earliest at 10:30 AM, 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM - that works for me and could work for you too. Just give it a try. It’s relaxing and very efficiently 📈📊

Very true, but asking other people not to touch their smartphone will be interpreted as tedious and impolite.

Today in school , my teacher had us watch a motivational video about success, and I was really engage to it. However, the rest of the students in class weren’t , they were staring at their phones. Literally I was only one paying attention. I honestly feel like the only teen in my school who isn’t a phone addict.

Make resolution for each day, each month, each half-year and on New year. Write down things you want to do and make your brain think that it is a game that will reward you later in life and start doing it by today and You will see the difference in your life.

Phone addiction makes sense, its a device with access to unlimited entertainment. I'm severly addicted but I'm trying to overcome my addiction so I can focus more on things I love doing. Good luck to anyone else trying to limit their phone use!

Thank you... You woke me up from the virtual world

My smartphone addiction brought me here. I feel enlightened. Addiction, it seems, is not all bad.

Starts at :6:30 ☺

Just makes me so sad to see my partner, family, friends etc sitting on the phone hours without any human interaction....

I get plenty of sleep. My phone is my alarm and calendar and a key business tool. I am very aware of the potential of abuse and I never pull my phone out at a shared meal unless it's warranted and I have the permission of those I'm with. If a call comes it that's important, I excuse myself and go outside -- otherwise I let it go to VM. TURN THE RINGER OFF -- there's no reason to disturb others. TURN NOTIFICATIONS OFF -- EXCEPT calendar events and SMS. Email and all other notifications are not urgent you'll look at them when you have time. The constant barrage of notifications for EVERY LITTLE THING will drive you crazy.

nah trust me, it won't make me more social irl but after i quit all social media except youtube last week, i now got less worries and more time to waste where i actually want

As an 18yr old I find those 5 points very useful to keep in mind! Wish he mentioned that a lot of the apps that send us notifications are designed to take up as much of our time as possible however! So it is still in part our phones faults. Nonetheless a great speech! Happy Valentine's Day ppl ;)

In my high school, a lot of students are staring at their phone 24/7. Me , I don’t really like to be on my phone , but I have nothing to do in class to keep me occupied.

This used to be me. I would feel weird reading a book or dosing something other looking at my phone

The hardest thing for me is what I am addicted to on my phone. I could easily go online but the phone is really the place I like to be. I am addicted to learning useless information. Some of it has been so useful to me, and I feel like I learn more every day. I am addicted to reading first hand accounts of interpersonal issues in particular. I am addicted to how people think and what they do. It has been useful but its also useless because so much is out of my control what good is it that I understand it unless I use it for work? It is like a hobby but not really. I'm not happy at all. I also am addicted to funny videos on instagram. I remember I refused to get TikTok and for good reason, but unfortunately instagram was like a parasite as it eventually turned into TikTok without me realizing it and now I'm addicted to it as well. I knew better to stay away from TT but I'm basically on it. What funny thing will I see next? I like funny things and they uplift me but honestly I don't need that to uplift me. I can't get anything done and I'm really honestly becoming afraid of the way I am addicted to my phone. I average 7-9 hours on it somehow per day. The things I do not do, however, are sit on my phone while spending time with people, I do not go on my phone at all when my husband and I watch things, and I never ever go on my phone while in public.

This is the content of the video: 1. Understand your smartphone usage 2. Put it away during social situations 3. Ask others to put their phones away too 4. Don't sleep with your smartphone 5. Turn off your notifications

Wonderful sharing, and its really amazing that intentionally or un-intentionally we do this.

This is one of the biggest topics of our time

Your message is so important in these times Ross! I actively turned off my notifications after I first heard your talk even in the draft stages. I'm completely with you on this as it links back to our disconnection with humanity too! And well done on all the views!!! 22k and counting!!!

This is fine points to make to change our behaviour AND I believe it’s important to address the feelings behind these behaviours to prevent relapsing into our phones when we have a bad day or are struggling emotionally with something more long term. Like asking questions about what is the time on our phone protecting us from feeling - loneliness, inadequacy, overwhelm, fear, worry? Without addressing the feeling underneath, we’re likely to fall back into these addictive behaviours after a while. I know I use social media to ‘numb out’ so acknowledging that emotion under the need to numb out first, then changing the behaviour and noticing how I feel without my phone is key for long term solution to this addiction.

thank you

“It might surprise you that on average you spend 2 hours 25 minutes a day on your smartphone” *Laughs in an average of 8 hours a day *

Addictions are like germs. They don’t hide forever, but some take longer to discover and/or control with time! Nowadays, mobile devices are so addicting that they distract many people from talent!

Divineshot 314 cool bro

turning off notifications really is a good idea and it works for me. But sometimes, while keeping it on do not disturb ,I get more distracted thinking if there's an imp message from someone . How can I manage that?

I have turned of my WhatsApp notifications ,have uninstalled the Facebook app and have made all remaining app notifications silent for months now, except SMS's and missed calls, which cumulatively are not more than 5 a day.

Nice TALK!

They're still pretty successful. Its destructive when when it replaces your real world.

A Great lecture for a very important issue, we need to review our smartphone usage ,and assess our behavior throughout the day

My screen time is 7 hours a day☹️

I find it embarrassing, staring at a phone.

Well, without my phone I wouldn't even know this video ever existed nor this speech

Well done Ross!! It was awesome going on stage after your talk! :)

3 Hours 45 mins.... *Looks at my 6 hours*

Here's a sixth suggestion: Aging eyesight. As we all know, we lose our close vision as we age. For me, looking at my iPhone requires I put on a pair of reading glasses. Since I keep my reading glasses tucked away in a shoulder bag, and when out of doors always wear sunglasses, it takes time and some amount of effort to don my reading glasses. The result is I pull out my cell phone only when I'm ready for the dedication and focus (quite literally) required to read the screen. It becomes an act of genuine deliberation.

I think I am too much of an addict to implement these things. I need to completely detox to a flip phone.

Very nice

Conversation is more difficult than looking at a phone-there can be awkward moments-and most people cannot manage it. Will they have an anxiety attack if it is taken away ?

No ones ever pulled a book out in mid conversation and just sat there reading it for 1 minute. Never saw anyone crossing the street reading a book. Walking into walls watching the TV. It's quite a different beast. And reading actual content not just headlines improves your attention, 5 second headlines do not (not saying EVERYONE is like this but most are)
