This should be studied in schools. Pretty much every TED should be. It's amazing know that almost everything which is essential in your life and professional life is not studied by school, supposed to learn you basic abilities in your daily life, but the world teaches it to you, the own life, and with your own own efforts you have to comprehend these things.

I watch TEDx Talks videos to improve my english, but while improving my english i am also getting a lot of knowledge which is opening my mind to how to think and how to take actions in life, and this video is something amazing because i do these activities which he said and it helps me a lot because social media evacuate our mind by grabbing our whole attention, and if you put your phone aside and sit in an open space you will feel how beautiful our life is and we are filled with so many creative ideas [life is not about watching a phone or getting happy, life is about watching things that we are surrounded with and to create something special from them]~manjeet jat

I have been off social media for 38 days and have came up with more life realizations and business/ life plans that I ever thought possible. I can also read for hours upon hours on end getting so dived up in what im reading that I forget the time. My mind simply has no reason to get distracted because there is nothing to distract my mind. This stuff works, where attention goes, energy flows! goodluck my friends

I've had social media uninstalled for about 3 months. You truly are able to achieve a peace of mind and a stronger self awareness. I feel that today's social media creates a constant feeling of missing out which will drag on throughout some people's days and make them believe their life as boring. But truly you are only missing out on life if you are held in a state kf believe that you are missing out.

As of today:
-I am going to eat my meals without watching any Youtube videos or TV series, just going to sit and eat my meal savorily.
-I am going to do my chores without listening to any kind of music or podcasts.
-I am going to study without listening to any lo-fi songs (the most challenging one i guess :p)
-When I want to listen to music, I'm going to lie on my bed, put on my headphones and enjoy the song I'm listening.
I have an exam a week later and, as a medical student, I really need my brain to focus. So if this challenge affect my focusing ability, I will inform you guys. Wish me luck!

For years I (half) joke with friends how much I love standing in lines. I love being at the store and waiting, because I get some of my best thinking done. People talk about how fast time goes by, but I do love to think about how much it can slow down when waiting. I have subscribed for a very long time to the art of "blankly staring off into space" because I know how good it is for my brain. It can be hard (especially because my work is socializing and online and keeping up with all the things all the time) but it's so very important. Especially as a creative who has to come up with content. Gotta let that brain simmer to get stuff done! Nice Ted Talk Mr. Bailey.

Summary: Use less technology and destimulate your mind for increased focus and ideas
Speaker tells about various screens he sees all throughout the day and decides to take a phone-detox and noticed three things:
1) Attention span grew
2) More Ideas
3) More plans
Speaker did extensive research about the effect of technology on attention span.
Speaker says that the symptom is that our brains are distracted but the deeper issue Is our brain crave distractions. Technology has a lot of stimulation which causes good-feeling hormones in the brain. It takes 8 days for the brain to adjust to less simulation. Above points 2 and 3 is because we allow our brains to wander - scatterfocus mode(or diffused mode) in which we think about the future half of the time. Ideas come when we are relaxed - our full attention is not captured. We like to think that ' Distraction is the enemy of focus' but the speaker says that over-stimulation is the real cause. Speaker has a 2-week challenge to reduce stimulation: Make your mind less stimulated- waste less time on the phone and disconnect every day. Rediscover boredom and scatter-focus.

I've learnt so much from youtube. Without it I wouldnt be who I am now, but at the same time I know it distracts me from my goals and causes procrastination. Its such a double edged sword.
