    J0 I need to get back into it seriously. At least for 3 months, only 30 minutes of Youtube per day, we may still need it. I allow myself to put on music and podcasts.

    J0 Like many people, I can't help but waste time on YouTube (the only social network I have), and it's rare that I eat without watching a video.
    I feel like it’s disrupting my concentration.
    The perception of effort/reward by my brain is out of whack given all the dopamine it generates.
    And I'm doing this challenge to also work on my boredom, learn to tolerate silence and consequently live the real moments to the fullest.

    J3 Shit, I didn't want to press immediately restart another abstinence. 
    Okay, let's start again.

    In fact, I really have the possibility of changing but I really have to become disciplined again, I can't do it!

    J8 Bon mes nouvelles mesures on marché moyen finalement... J'avais Opéra sur mon téléphone et je pouvais aussi aller autant de fois sur YouTube que je le voulais sur mon ordinateur portable. So I quickly disrespected it. What I told myself. 

    Chase away the natural, it comes back at a gallop.

    We're taking it more seriously this time

    J0 I failed but I'm starting a radical challenge immediately following Yomi Denzel's advice. On the back of my smartphone there is a post it that says:

    30 day challenge - stop social media:

    • 30 min Youtube and 45 min Google (because the RS are accessible via Ggl)
    • block these apps with a code by someone close to me (whom I could ask to ask me for the code via SMS or WH - not considered RS)
    • tell people that I'm stopping social media

    For what? 1440 hours gained/year, RS does not make you happy (it's like alcohol you take refuge in it, you have to prefer to face misfortunes than to take drugs to forget), pump all the necessary dopamine, prevent you from thinking about important things.

    I still have browsers on my computer but Insta doesn't work and Youtube on the other hand I'm going to have to brave this easier accessibility.

    @Turfuds: I thought about your last update where you said the same thing and it did me a lot of good...a joy not to go on your phone

    @Mahatma: Afterwards it depends on what you watch on YouTube, personally I watch (earlier I listen to) videos on the stock market economy. After all that is short I avoid it like the plague.

    @LeChevalier: I confirm, personally I call it social scourges.

    We say "social network" but that has nothing to do with a "network".
    By definition, a network binds people together, it does not divide them.

    @Deril: Hi, how did you get there? How do you feel now? Especially mentally? Do you still have some sort of mental fog? 
    Deril
    9 months ago:
    @Paradoxe: Honestly, I don’t really know. I watched a lot of YouTube and often scrolled on Facebook. I only used these two networks. I especially wanted to stop for a week and then I continued. 
    I replaced my time on YouTube with series or films, especially while eating. Otherwise reading. For Facebook, it's very difficult, because I have to use it for work, but I only allow myself the exchange groups in question, the hardest part being not to scroll from the home page but to go directly to the group I need. 
    Ultimately I feel much better without these networks. They took up a lot of mental load, I felt obliged to watch new content from the accounts to which I was subscribed. I often felt like I was wasting my time. I felt bad comparing my life to others, even my friends. I have regained this time, I am more active in my home and in my personal progress and I am more creative! I don't want to go back.

    @Mahatma: Quels réseaux ?
    Perso, pour moi, c’est YouTube et Twitch. Je les ai bloqués via un blocage DNS (tu peux regarder sur le web).
    Le piège, pour moi, c’est de se dire : « Je consulte juste une vidéo parce que j’ai besoin de regarder un truc pour une recette, un tuto ou autre », mais une fois que tu commences, c’est difficile de s’arrêter.
    Je suis tellement addict que parfois je tape « YouTube » ou « Twitch » dans la barre de recherche sans même y penser ni le vouloir, comme un réflexe. C’est dingue.
    Donc pour moi, la stratégie, c’est le blocage complet.
