So you did it.

You decided to remove this thing that was getting in the way of your presence, your happiness, your productivity, everything that you want to build up.

This was kind of bringing down and you decided that you've had enough.

You deleted social media, but something is going to happen to you that happens to probably 95 % of people.

And I've had hundreds of comments about it in my last, how to delete social media video.

It's probably going to happen to you as well, or it probably already has happened or it's happening right now.

First of all, I want to these apps in the first place.

This is something that not a lot of people are willing to do.

It's clear that you're not kind of like everyone else in a good way.

You're forging your own path in life and you know what's best for you

and you decided to go out and do this and that's sincerely, good job.

Congratulations.

Some people, it might not seem like a big deal like yeah I just deleted some apps

but for me it was a big deal getting off these apps and for you it probably is too so good job.

Congratulations for taking the first step and now you're going to start making more

your relationships with everything that you want so let's do it

and again congratulations now a lot of us spent four hours on social media

when we had or you're currently using that much

and that's like the low end of things some people are

six eight ten hours a day of social media i'm not joking it gets

that bad for some people

and that's okay again i don't believe it's your fault it's the companies

that made these apps to be addictive but once we take away these apps we now have

four hours to do whatever the hell we want people are

always saying they never have enough time to do anything the

day isn't long enough there's not enough time in the day to do anything i just said the same thing

but you get the point but it's like check your screen time have you been spending

hours a day on social media the issue is half social media use half not Social media is very toxic, which I talked about in my last video.

And all it's really ever brought us was pain, jealousy, fear of missing out.

Pretty much only negative things.

So taking out this negativity from our life is a big step in getting to a better mental state

and a better day -to -day life.

And that's why I congratulated you.

The second issue of social media use is the wasted time.

Let's say you spent four hours a day on social media.

That's 1 ,460 hours a year.

that you spent on social media?

What if you spent that hours doing something else like learning a hobby or exercising?

The change would be insane.

You would look incredible and you would be incredible at whatever it is you were trying to get better at.

But on the other hand, spending 1 ,460 hours on social media, I hope we can both agree, is 100 % wasted time.

There's no physical reward of social media as in you can't take anything home with you.

There's nothing to show There's no reward, there's nothing, there's no improvement in anything.

It's just, the hours are just gone.

And most of the time you don't even remember what you were doing for those hours.

They're literally just gone.

And when you used to use social media or if you currently do, how often do you remember what you saw that day on social media?

And if you thought about it, you might be able to say one or two things, but also you don't think about it.

So it's pretty much entirely wasted time.

and you don't even feel good in the moment when you're doing it you're kind of just scrolling there like

I don't know if you guys can hear that, but that's why I'm in the car.

Occasionally you'll exhale out of your nose when you see a funny thing, but that's your face.

You're not enjoying it.

You're just keeping yourself busy and not bored because a little boredom is so scary to all of us and To us.

Yes, this is addictive the random chance that you might see someone attractive

or you might see something that makes you breathe out of your nose is Something we crave.

It's the novelty.

It's the maybe we'll see something nice.

Maybe we won't It's like a slot machine the slot machine

you it's like you put money into it You scroll it

or whatever and you might win and you might not and that's what makes our brain addicted to things It works.

And now that that slot machine is gone, our brain is going to latch on to the closest thing

that resembles that to fill the pleasure that we're losing now that we don't use these apps anymore.

For who knows how long after I quit social media, I jumped to YouTube and Netflix.

I don't necessarily believe YouTube and Netflix are bad things.

I think in moderation, there's really nothing wrong with them.

Around one hour a day is my limit that I would be like, I'm OK.

I did that today.

But it is incredibly easy to remove Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram from your life and to just spend the four hours

that we were doing those apps for to spend four hours on Netflix and YouTube.

I will raise my hand and admit that I have done this to you.

And I'm pretty sure you have done something along the lines

of it too from jumping from one addiction to another

and The good thing is you are doing the right thing by not being on social media

because I believe YouTube and Netflix are better than those other apps.

I don't consider YouTube with social media

Some people do but I see YouTube is kind of like a content con - I

Don't consider YouTube the same you might see it differently, but when I talk about social media talking about Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, whatever the social medias.

Now, like I said, YouTube and Netflix are better than those apps, but you're still wasting a good amount of time.

There's a whole ass palm tree.

What happened to them, bruh?

Where are they going?

Go back to what I said about imagining the progress you could make towards something

if you spent 1 ,000 plus hours doing it.

Here comes the fun part.

Take whatever

crocheting whatever it is and now you can start

because you have all this extra free time what's stopping you or

if you're already learning something new now spend more time doing

it you have three extra hours in the day three plus extra hours in the day to do what do

and learn whatever you want isn't

that exciting i feel like it would kind of be a shame if you just spent all that new

hours every day doing something productive that's still 365 hours of the in a year

that you're now added to this new thing this is the beauty of being off social media

and using those hours productively here's your actionable step of the video take something

that you've always wanted to learn write it down this is a journaling channel get your notebook

or get something to write or even use your phone

and write what it is you want to learn this year one thing playing guitar and this extra free time, learn how to do it.

Consistency isn't necessarily an easy thing, so that's something, but you can remind yourself, like, I have so much free time.

100

I've been on YouTube two hours.

101

Let's do this new thing for just some time.

102

That's how you start.

103

It kind of sucks knowing I spent

104

so much time not realizing I had just jumped from Snapchat to right to YouTube, you know?

105

Get excited.

106

And now that I've put it into perspective how much extra time you have, you can kind of get about it.

107

Everyone else is spending four plus hours a day on social media

108

and we don't want to be like that because it just doesn't work for us.

109

So find something.

110

Your new activity shouldn't be a chore though.

111

For example, I love playing piano.

112

I could play for two hours straight and be happy, but to someone that doesn't really care for piano, that would be a chore.

113

That would be dreadful and they would only do it for an hour the first day

114

and then the next day it's like, so you know what Even it doesn't have to be something crazy.

115

Like you can be cooking.

116

It can be going for a walk, like anything, but it has to be something that you can look forward to.

117

We are all afraid of boredom.

118

Let's be honest.

119

That's why we all got so addicted to this technology in the first place.

120

But it's a shame to not try to learn as many things that are possible on this earth.

121

Karate.

122

I don't know.

123

Yoga, whatever it is, just find something.

124

And now with all this free time, because you've deleted social media, if you're here, you probably have because 80 % of you came from that social media video.

125

Start now and I'm not suggesting never watching YouTube or Netflix again.

126

I use this strategy where I only consume content in the last hour of the day.

127

And that's in this video or this video, wherever the freaking card is.

128

And I think this is the most productive way to live your life right now.

129

Because you don't have to cut out anything, but you do all your productivity stuff.

130

And then you kind of relax at night and then off to bed.

131

This works for me, might not work for some people.

132

Acknowledge if this is you.

133

If you've been spending too much time on YouTube, or whatever it is now that you don't have social media.

134

It's okay.

135

I've been there.

136

It's just this little hump that you have to get over.

137

Now that you've deleted social media, you have to get over this bump of your addiction and replacing it with these things in the real world.

138

And you'll be so freaking happy you did it.

139

And start slowly.

140

You don't have to become ultra productive, 100 % of your day productive overnight.

141

It's a process.

142

Start with one thing.

143

Like I'm saying, I'm only asking for one thing, whatever it is. And start.

144

You don't have to do an hour a day either.

145

15 minutes is better than zero.

146

Five minutes is better than zero.

147

But start and slowly build it over time.

148

And as you are off your screens, I realize, damn, time is so slow when you're off a screen.

149

I play piano for what feels like an hour and I realize it's only been 15.

150

It's only been like 30 minutes.

151

How much now, free time, how exciting it is.

152

If you agree with this content and you're ready to make the change, I like you.

153

I have a Discord community in the description.

154

We're almost at 300 members now.

155

There's a lot of people like you that you can talk to, that you can become friends with.

156

It's honestly, it's really nice.

157

Personal coaching calls are also in the description if you want more personal help where we can work on our problems together.

158

Apparently my phone got too hot so it stopped recording, but...

159

personal coaching It didn't even rain.

160

Why did I film this outside?

161

I swear I'm not a person

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
