Is your screen time double digits?

When you pick up your phone, do you somehow lose an entire hour of your day?

I know I did.

I kind of made like an unconscious, conscious choice to go analog this year.

I was doom scrolling to the max.

I would sit down and for an hour or two hours, I would just, it was just gone basically.

And I'd look back and I'd say, what the hell did I do with my life for the last two hours?

I didn't like how much these companies had control over us and they're literally designed to keep our attention.

They are designed like slot machines.

I believe it was Netflix that said their biggest competitor was sleep which is madness.

These big corporations are going against our interests really

and yet we spend so much time on these things that are designed to take our attention away from real life.

Obviously you can block these things on your your phone anyway there is an option to do

that but it is so simple to just be like dismiss it basically

so I wanted to get something

that was gonna literally block me from doing

it like I wanted a full stop block I got myself this it's called now lock it's essentially a brick

and it works in an NFC way

so you can tap it just like you would any other type of NFC

and it will physically block the apps you can choose what apps you want to block

but it will physically block the apps and you will not be able to access the apps until you tap it again.

And you might be thinking, well, wouldn't you just tap it again?

But there is something that really genuinely prevents you from even doing it.

Like once you have that physical barrier there, you don't think to tap it.

You really don't.

I mean, I will say for the first few days when I decided to do it, it was reflex to go on Instagram.

In a moment where I would be sat any bit of minimal boredness, I would try and go on Instagram.

And that really truly made me realize how genuinely addicted I was to my phone.

And it is scary to think that you can be that addicted to your phone.

It impacts you in your attention span.

It impacts you in how productive you can be.

It impacts your creativity.

And I know this because since I've locked my phone, and I honestly will go 36 hours without even looking at Instagram.

I have felt so much better.

I am not constantly comparing myself to other people.

I'm more happy with my own life.

I'm getting out there.

I'm doing more things.

You know, my partner even said to me that he's shocked at how productive I've been since doing that.

And it's made me more ambitious again.

It made me want to start YouTube again, feel a lot more creative.

I feel like I always had to almost copy what other people were doing where

because I just didn't feel like I could come up with the ideas myself

and since doing this I feel like I'm so creative

and I don't need to look at what other people are doing

and I can just go off of my own ideas for the first time in years literally years

and I'm a graphic designer so that is mind -boggling

but it's true by the way I am not sponsored by them I'm genuinely just telling you these things

because I feel like it helped me and I want to help other people too so

yeah that's my whole thing with the locked device and you know

if you want to get something you don't have to get

that you can get literally any of the devices the reason I went for

that one was because it was like one of the cheapest ones you can buy one

and more than one person can use it you don't have to be on the same schedule

or anything all you have to do is literally just tap

it out you don't have to have the same apps on it you can choose whatever apps you want

so yeah just buy one go for the cheapest one

it doesn't matter they all the same shit yeah in terms of you know listening to records

and taking film photography I feel more connected to people

and I feel more connected to myself and it's

so much nicer to be able to flick through a photo album

and look at the memories then you know having a million photos in your gallery on your phone

that you will never look at ever again let's be real

or if you do look at it you'll be quickly scrolling through

and you're really not taking it in the same way as you do

when you have it there printed in front of you.

I love that and that's why me and Jay have been getting into photo albums and printing our photos.

I got a disposable camera when I went to Fred again and it was the best thing ever.

Not only did it make me more connected to people when I was there, the amount of people that came up to me

and were talking to me and saying what a great idea it was

and you know I actually made friends on the night

because of it but also now I have all the memories printed there for me to look at.

The great thing about it as well is it's not so curated.

When you have a phone

you take a million photos to get the right one whereas with a film camera you don't have a choice.

You just got to deal with the memories and they're so real.

You know, nowadays with AI, you can literally fix your face and FaceTune or whatever they're called.

These apps where you can change the way your body looks and that's all well and good.

Yes, we want to look like the best versions of ourselves, even if it's not really us.

But don't you want to look back on those memories one day

and think that's actually me

and I looked great we're our worst critics at the end of the day

but we will look back on these photos

and think why was I being like that I look amazing here you know

that that is a good thing but you know there are other companies like

Camp Snap Pro again not sponsored or anything I'm just showing you things

that I like to use I have all kinds of cameras

it is a bit like a toy I'm not gonna lie to you

but it is great and

that you really capture the moment there is some controversy about analog

and going analog and that there's these companies

that are now trying to profit off of people wanting to go analog

and have the nostalgia and things like that which I do understand

but I also think

if it brings you into the moment a bit more

then there's nothing wrong with it at the end of the day

so I personally love this and I got the actual photos printed from this

because essentially all this is is that you connect it to your phone

and then you've got the photos on your phone

100

so you can take a million photos with this as well

101

but you just can't see them like there's nothing there's nothing there to see it is literally as

102

if you've got a disposable camera at your fingertips

103

and they take very cute little retro photos which do feel very nostalgic

104

but again you can get things like an actual film camera

105

and go around taking film photos which is amazing I definitely recommend doing

106

that another great thing that I love is having an actual camcorder have a million cameras

107

and this is by far the only thing that I've noticed

108

that you don't feel conscious about in front of

109

so they're a lot of fun and looking back it just feels

110

so natural everything I think that's the thing

111

that we're missing is everything feels so unnatural nowadays with AI with all these different apps.

112

Everything feels curated.

113

Everything feels just fake.

114

And the great thing about going back to analog is it just feels real.

115

Everything feels real again.

116

And it really has just a lovely impact on your mental health in so many ways.

117

Even things like playing a record, you know, with a record.

118

It's an event.

119

It's a process and you can't skip the songs.

120

You just have to listen to the whole album.

121

There's not a million different bands on there that you can just flick through.

122

You have to really know who you want to listen to as well.

123

And if you're going to spend that money, it's so much more thoughtful.

124

There's so much more intention behind it.

125

And I think that's the thing

126

that I like the most about being able to cut yourself off from social media

127

and go analog and use these things from the 2000s

128

and you know the 90s

129

or wherever they're from is there was a lot of intention in it back in the day

130

and that's the thing I'm enjoying the most.

131

I didn't realize how much social media was designed to hold your attention

132

or maybe I did and that's what came down to it

133

but it's built on unpredictable rewards which is the same system that slot machines use.

134

So your brain is constantly checking for something new in case you miss something.

135

It's basically built off of FOMO.

136

Why are we living our lives fearing on missing out on something

137

when all we need to do is just go and live our lives?

138

Go outside, touch grass.

139

I had to do it, okay?

140

And I'm here, I'm screaming from the rooftops.

141

Let's all go touch grass together.

142

But when you remove the constant input, everything does genuinely feel a lot calmer and steadier and quieter.

143

I mean, I'd choose that any day.

144

Anyway, thank you so much for watching.

145

I hope you liked this video.

146

And if you did, please give it a thumbs up and please feel free to subscribe.

147

I'll see you in the next one.

148

Thanks, bye.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
