  • Which number are you planning on putting into practice this month? I'm cheering you on!
  • Fantastic video. I especially resonated with, ā€œif there were 30 people in the room giving you advice.ā€ Wow. Yes.
  • @hann3671
    Wow! So many good points in your video! I actually did a technology detox a little while before finding your channel and I actually did so many of those things like asking myself how is this helping to make by life better! To anyone who is thinking about it, DO IT! You will be so much more happier when itā€™s done. Iā€™ve brought MAYBE 3 things of technology back into my life and I am so happy.

    After watching your videos, i have come off of social media and it has created a radical improvement in how i utilize my time. Next step > integration of the information i acquire instead of moving on to the next thing. I really enjoy your videos!
  • @rewildwithus
    Wow, this is such a well spoken video essay! This made me remember my time in university (English major) when we would take an entire lecture to disect one sentence of a novel. And we would write papers on each book we read. This video made me crave that kind of deep thought, the type that transforms you as you say. Thank you so much for this video!

    I just finished reading "Anxious Generation" by Jonathan Haidt talking about how kids' and teens' mental health plummeted because of smartphones and social media. It was very eye opening
  • Thank you so much for this. I loved the analogy about walking into a room and receiving advice from 30 people at once. Makes soo much sense but we just hit follow on our phones without a second thought. My attention span is so short cause of all these reels and tiktoks, I feel like my brain is about to explode šŸ˜ž
  • I'm not a mom yet, just a 20 year old girl who is trying to slow down my life, and I have been loving your content! You exude wisdom and peace!! I would love ALL the book recommendations you have for transitioning to a minimalistic life if that's something you'd be interested in talking about.
  • Just wrote about #3. So important to give ourselves time to transform knowledge into wisdom by turning that information into experience/mastery.
  • @alishamehta9203
    Finally someone i can relate it to! All your videos are eye opening and genuinely nourishing for the mind and soulā¤šŸ˜¢ would love to see some book recs from you, theyd be equally interesting :)
  • You make such good points, and again most of them I have been considering for some time but it is very helpful to have someone else articulate them. I keep thinking: historically, no generation has had this access to entertainment and information 24/7. There's so much information, and again the format is such that it makes one feel like if you don't like at it NOW you are going to miss out! It is so different with a book. You can put a bookmark in, close it, and take it back up after engaging with your child/husband/etc. And then like you said, how productive is it if we just keep getting new ideas constantly but act on none of them? It doesn't matter how many delicious recipes I pinned if I end up ordering pizza because I wasted my time on the phone. So sad. Thank you for speaking up :). I am going to try a week-long fast and go from there...
  • @lovelyday04
    So helpful. So encouraging. So true. Thank you šŸ’•
  • @plarsen2654
    Thank you and perfect timing...I was beginning to limit my scrolling and phone scrolling and t.v. viewing. The detox is the way to begin. I'm thinking of detoxing for one month to create a new habit.
  • This was absolutely what I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing enjoying your content. I've been on the journey to simply living and minilism. ā¤ā¤ā¤
