I discovered you some days ago, and after watching 'how to study efficiently' video, i immediately hit 'subscribe'. it was an eye opener by itself. then i proceeded to watch more of your videos, and it was worth it. amy, thank you for your patience, and honesty, in sharing your journey, and all these amazing unpopular tips with us. i consider youtube as a huge distraction, but with your videos, it isnt. your videos made me realize that we all have a purpose in life, and we just really need to keep grinding until we reach a milestone out of nowhere. all along, i used to wait for life to happen. for that one milestone to reach. but after this, i want to just keep working hard. do my homeworks on time, study on time, use all those tips you mentioned (all of them are a big plus), and just keep going like this. key to stop thinking about milestones is patience. and as for me, i am a sick patient struggling with 'impatience' (please dont leave me-). i started meditating everyday for 10 mins. its an eye-opener itself. now i am starting small, but solid study sessions, to utilize every moment into building up that milestone i want to reach. you made us realize that our dreams can be turned into reality. we CAN do it. so world, fighting! lets be determined, and dedicated, keep watching @wAmy 's videos, and apply them! 'I will thrive, not just survive' thank you Amy, for such insightful content you provide to us. thank you, really. 💌💖

So grateful you stumbled upon my channel and that you appreciate my perspective. I believe everything is what we make of it. Social media and KZread can indeed be super helpful tools, life-changing in the positive sense. But if not used correctly, they can also change our life for worse, so I try to constantly evaluate whether I'm optimizing my actions, how I think, how I feel. And it's not a productivity guru sense, but in the natural, intuitive way of making sure that we are happy, doing things as smoothly as possible, and won't have regrets in the future. It's awesome that you joined our like-minded A-Team community where we're all trying to reach our potential and live our best lives! Milestones are created by ourselves just like success is by our own definition. Since we coexist in this society, some things like money we have to still have enough of to be comfortable, but at some point, as long as we're working hard and being true to ourselves, we are having success each and every day. I don't think of success as a thing you get at the end of working hard; rather, you're successful each day you make it a good day. It's a state of being. I'm also trying to meditate more! Really awesome that you're taking little steps because those habits are what compound over time. Jiayou! Fighting! ❤ Wishing you the best!

It is worse than Instagram because even though it is less addictive, you can't delete it from your phone. I deleted Instagram and TikTok long ago because I noticed they were harmful to me. However, since I am unable to delete KZread, sometimes I waste a lot of time on KZread shorts. I am not able to stop doing something if I don't tackle the root issue, and how am I supposed to do that if I can't delete the app? The worst thing about this is that you don't realize how much time you are wasting until it is too much.

If you think this video is too long, that's a sign of your damaged attention span 👀 Actions you must take include changing your mindset such that good habits are actually sustainable. Watching this video is the first action you can take, and everything I didn't cut in this video is left here for a reason!

The main problem with us is not social media but also parents and social offline group. When we put our phone turn off we start thinking about the taunts which our parents give which has nothing to do with us, the trauma of the childhood and so many disturbing things, and what happens As soon as turn our phone all those bad thinking becomes distractions and the phone becomes our escape point. I think the society should improve and also solutions need to be make for such scenarios which is almost 90% genz are facing because of generational gap.

you talked about the exact things I've been noticing in myself when being addicted to social media, I'm less mind full and aware even about the miniscule things, I realzied that I was limiting my happiness and than I'll have a breakdown of how less productive I am becoming, which made me realize that you also don't have to be productive all the time, its okay to get slow sometimes, but I also had to be aware of the content I was consuming, if I 'slow down' a bit, I switched listening to Islamic videos and podcast, and (as I am a Muslim so I'm also trying to improve myself in terms of my religion), I also took time to understand and tell myself to value my life and the blessings I have (like I can make choices on my own, I have the capability, this the thing I pointed out and have been practicing to be grateful about, which had a great impact on me,) I noticed that now I'm kind of disgusted to 'mindlessly' scroll (I do binge watch sometimes) and now I'm automatically aware of what to consume! I struggled a lot with improving myself in these things, and wamy, I am also going to give you a credit, bcz of you, I have a bit stronger and matured mindset than before!❤ I'm so glad to be a part of A-team!🎉

Hey Amy. So... Alright lemme tell you: I confess that yes I have an addiction to social media. More specifically KZread. I actually have many addictions and most of them are related to my phone 📱. Now the thing is that I have severe depression and anxiety. The last few months I had mental breakdowns (at least 4 so far) and this had ruined my semester! Not even a few days ago I had such a powerful mental breakdown!!! It was INTENSE AF!!!! I've thought that I reached my lowest point before but MAN I WAS WRONG!!!!! I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD FEEL THAT LOW!!!!!! This is obviously affecting my capacity to study but not only that! Actually I have been struggling to do the most basic stuff actually! Such as washing myself, brushing my teeth, studying, practicing my hobbies etc. It's really gotten so bad that I cannot currently revise for my exam which is after tomorrow :( I really don't know what to do I don't even know why I am telling you all this 😅😅 I mean we talked initially about social media addiction. The point I was trying to get to was that I have addictions because of my shity mental health :/ Could you make a video about: how to manage to study even during a mental breakdown?? Could help SOOOO many people! I am sure I am not the only one needing a video like this Anyways thank you 💖🥰 so much for your videos and the great content you make!!! You're a great KZreadr!!!!

@@OUAZENEHANANE Ouch 🤕🤕 I really don't know what to say mate :( May the strength be with you dear I am wishing you strength, patience, resilience, determination, consistency and good health... Hopefully you'll get accepted in the place where you want to get accepted. I am at university and it's not fun 😭

i just deleted all my social media and all those distracting shopping and entertainment apps id subconsciously reach out too, thanks amy for always being a best friend through your videos, lots of love

Thank you so much,completly gonna do that ❤

Thank you so much amy for making this video. I have my finals coming but i have been scrolling everyday instead of studying. I promise to cut off the social media and live the real life. One amazing thing happened was my phones display was gone but still have been using laptop to scroll but now its time to stop and find who i am. Have nice trip to china and enjoy a lot^^ Love you

Hey girl! Thank you so much for this honestly u change my life like ur my sister. Right now for me its holidays and my family is here and I can understand what u mean by u are more observant and grateful for what u have, I know that I am small and young but still I want to support myself and be more matured than my age. Girl I really want to meet u, you are a changer not for just me but for 100's of other people. I am just in year 6, but at the same time, I feel like a 20 year old woman. I will thrive, not just survive. ❤

I deleted insta and tiktok, because scrolling through them makes me feel bad and really feeds my escapism/daydreaming and makes it really hard for me to be grounded. I always worry about something and feel bad about myself, but hopefully I’ll feel better. I wanted to do it for a really long time but I just felt so scared on missing out things(especially since I’m living abroad)..

this is the first longer video I've been able to sit and watch in ages omg. I deleted all socials while watching and subscribed :)) thank you for making this!

So proud of you!! :)

It was so messed up to watch other people’s lives, I got so mad for having a boring life compared to them, now I don’t worry about that anymore, now I can focus on my own and not think about other people’s lives, now I feel peace in my brain and life, now everything is much better

Hi. This is my first video on your channel. I am really shocked. The things you said are SO TRUE. Social media scrolling is a thing that can be done anywhere at any time. But loving your family and other people is a chance that is given right now. Literally cried when you were talking about your visit to China. Thank you VERY MUCH. You did a lot for me. Seriously. I will come here again in a month to analyze the changes. Once again, thank you❤

I deleted all my social media today , the only screen time I can get is watching tv (a movie) for three hours max

Thank you so much for those inspirating videos. Continue posting them and you will help millions of people to reach their max capacity.

Thank you for this video

Hi Amy, this is my first time commenting ur vid after being ur subscriber so long, thanks for making this vid, I just freed myself, deleted all social media like yt insta Reddit immediately, feeling released, finally not like a slave to the phone, I’m setting a target for maximising my phone time to 45min a day, just limited to replying important msg, ur videos have always been so motivating and inspiring, I’ll try out my best to be the best version of myself❤

I'm so so proud of you ♥️

I honestly was on a social media break and came back now, seeing this video makes me soo happy today. I totally agree with you, like with the journal part....i felt that during my break. and seeing u getting emotional like a lil bit during 12:35 was so like i can't even explain it made me emotional as well, i definitely saw the emotions in your eyes. yuppp i totallyyy agreee with the app deleting system, it totally works. I legit love the positivity in this video, I love the efforts amyy

Last year I was addicted watching too much you tube videos and this year I'm addicted to tiktok Thank you so much for posting this video Amy you're a lifesaver

I will thrive, not just survive! No more doomscrolling, just will study more with books, papers, and lectures on KZread for my dream.

Wow love your honesty I hope full of happy time and life for you amazing girl🦋

Thank you so much for this video. I recently deleted instagram and TikTok off of my phone and I now have a designated hour at the end of my day where I look at social media on my iPad. It genuinely does not bring me any joy unless I change my algorithm to positive content, much like this video, so there is not a lot that compels me to re-download it onto my phone. I’ve noticed, the same way that you did, that I am a lot more grateful and observant of the world around me, because I think as humans we are not designed to be exposed to so many other peoples lives. The constant comparison is absolutely a thief of joy. I am excited for this new life ahead without social media taking over my brain! We are so much more powerful than the world leads us to believe. ❤

Sis your content is really helpful thanks for uploading something this real ✅not reel ❌, your new subscriber ☺️

i literally love you so much, you are the main reason i was able to make an academic comeback. You are the most humble and kind hearted person ever. Your personality and your mindset are so admirable (along with your successes of course). I am so lucky i found you on youtube, they were the only study related videos that motivated me and when I felt too lazy to study or I just felt like scrolling on instagram, i watched one of your videos and it helped so much! Thankyou so much for always being there and putting out those amazing study tips. Love from Pakistan💞

Your words are so precious.

Hi amy thanks for this vedio I am preparing for a exam and its been two to three days I have been mindlessly scrolling yt shorts its currently 3am and knowing the fact that I wasted my whole 1 year of preparation I still keep on doing it. My parents asleep think that I am awake to study but I know the reality I am already a year late so now I pronise myself that I will hustle hard and from tomorrow I will never ever open yt shorts I give this challenge to myself for my betterment. I delete all apps not needed for study and from tomorrow I will hustle hard and to make most of my time to achieve my aim.

my goals are to regain my passion for my old hobbies, and to get better grades and find a way to balance the two when schools back in play.

Hi Amy, I watched so much of these “get your life back” videos and I honestly have to say this is the only video wich really helps me. I said always to myself “I have to delete this scrolling from my life but had every time the excuse that why can’t I be like normal kids in my age who don’t care if there wasting there life on social media. everyone does this so I can do to And now I know why I can’t, cause the kids will never achieve the things that I want to achieve, there highest dream isn’t to get into an Elite University like Oxford, they’re just don’t care about there grades. But I always did. And yes I also have these straight As and maybe it’s easier for me than for others. But I also ever wanted to be good because I want to achieve big goals in my life. So thank you this Video was exactly what I needed to know again what I can and wich dreams I want to reach ❤

Thank you so much for this video, I was feeling lost, without a purpose in life really... so after watching your video I realized I was spending the majority of my time on social media instead of going for a walk or go out with friends!! I was so stressed... Now I want to go for a walk, to read a book... live my life! Thank you so much, really!!

Thank you very much for this❤ video, it helped me remember those coins when I made a challenge like you in 2023 in the summer, I felt what you felt. But after I downloaded social media again, I passed the exam more aggressively, each time I spent preparing for the exam for later, and a feeling of emptiness that life was boring. But this video helped me realize everything, and I, too, like you, will delete the social network and bkdu, focus more on the exam and self-love and life You are the best KZreadr and you are always give the best advice that work love u❤❤❤ Ps: I even cried when you started talking about grandma and grandpa because I think so too😭

Thank you so much for all your content! You really inspire me!

Gurl, I’m literally half of your video and already deleted IG, not like account shut down but deleted app, I feel SO relatable, been depressed, moody, my bf asks me all the time if I’m ok, I spend HOURS at reels and garbage content, I don’t feel like a person anymore, glad I found your video, thank you.🙏

Thank you so much for this. I really to be productive this summer and social media & my low self-esteem has been taking thay away from me.

The junk food analogy was great

I can totally relate to your 1st and 2nd story and I have been spending a lot of my time figuring out what has happened to me. I honestly didn't think of this aspect and as I was watching this video, it made me see the pattern of when I am lashing out on my loved ones, forgetting major things and it just made me more crazyyy. But thank you soo much that I found your video. I am too grateful that even I uninstalled the instagram.

excited to live life and just be able to do things

thank you for this video !

Okk todayy i will start to dopamin detox cuz i realized that when im bored im scrolling in shorts but i decided to knit! and i have a hard exam after twenty days so wish me luck guys💌
