i basically waste my entire day watching youtube on my chromecast and im tired of it 😭 don’t get me wrong, i LOVE youtube and i don’t want to quit entirely, i just want to not waste my entire day watching youtube. It mostly starts in the morning when i eat breakfast where it kinda snowballs from there, or in the afternoon when i get home and basically watch the rest of the day. Also, im watching on a tv, specifically a chromecast

thanks

    Overkill: get rid of your home wifi and go back to physical media. Use a mobile hotspot with limited data for everything else.

    I don’t watch YouTube anymore, though I do listen to it plenty over my phone’s connection.

    Edit: Bigger picture: find something you want to do more. Set a goal and make a commitment to set aside a modest amount of time every day to achieve it.

      the first one: basically impossible for me 😭🙏

      the edit: i really really want to start playing my games (video games btw) more but its just so much easier to start watching youtube than to take the game, take out the disc, put it in the console, start the console, and then start the game (don’t get me wrong i like that, but my brain doesn’t)

        I’m frankly amazed you haven’t simply died of neglect yet if you can’t even find the gumption to put a disc in the console and press a button.

        I actually think you should consider a full detox. Like move to a Greek island and work at a boat rental for a summer, living in a van or something. Learn how to just be a person again and engage with your physical reality.
