6 Ways I Keep My Phone Minimalist | Digital Minimalism

[@NicholasGarofola]

Also, thank you guys for everything this year. I appreciate all the kind works more than I could ever let you know. Have a great new year 🎉

[@waschbaerkaiser]

Rarely doing this, but I consider you a great guy, bringing great content to people in an overly noisy world. Keep dong what you do. It is appreciated.

[@NicholasGarofola]

That's super generous, and I thank you for the kind words. Thanks for the support and I hope you stick around for the long haul.

[@easlo]

Took your advice to delete contacts, and it feels good to have a tighter list of people I actually want to stay in touch with.

[@TechWest200]

Another great video Nicholas, thank you for sharing. I always have these great intentions of minimizing screen time and trimming down the apps but I struggle to cross that finish, always finding some excuse to keep them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! All the very best in 2025!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Merry Christmas to you and your family too!! Appreciate the support so much.

[@itshaezel]

Another great video! Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you! 🎁🎄

[@matheusaquires]

Regarding the hided apps, they are acessible on the folder below "Photos & Videos" that you can see on 5:35. The apps are invisible until you get your face scanned.

[@NicholasGarofola]

I literally found out how to view them the day after making this video 😂

This video just found me at the right time. I dedicated today to declutter my phone and here they are more ideas freely available to me. Thank you❤ Don’t forget you just gained a new subscriber.

[@amymaude5798]

Thanks Nicholas, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!

[@RatnikCarrick]

Regarding books, I always preferred paper. The eye thing is so right, I feel like my eyes are actually resting and at the same time it feels more comfortable flipping pages than just scrolling on a screen. Thanks for the video and great ideas.

[@bertinibb]

Thank you for another year of great content man, God bless you!

[@NicholasGarofola]

You too my friend and thank you so much.

[@olovstener618]

Another thing i will be more mindful with especially going into a new year is to be more true to who I give likes and engagement to on social media platforms. It's my views, likes and comments that make accounts grow and pay of peoples salaries. I want to give more to the ones who deserve it and less to the ones who honestly isn't true to them selves any more. Hence here's a comment, like and a Merry Christmas for making solid content over the years. Looking forward for more!

[@chandlerjohnson6580]

Been struggling with phone addiction. I’ll try these out for myself. Nice job!

[@shinrasboy]

I actually just erased my phone today in preparation for the new year and this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. I also have a love-hate relationship with my phone. Honestly, I would do just as well with a flip phone and an iPad mini for anything more complicated but I can't for now.

[@vivuvlogs2809]

Can't believe how far Nich has come Keep it up 🎉

[@NicholasGarofola]

I appreciate the support! 🙏

[@kaushikragenwar4100]

I remember you used to use your phone in a brown leather case. Where did it go ?

[@NicholasGarofola]

It was horrible, I returned it years ago

[@millmaster413]

OMG I just stared using the hide feature for that exact reason just a couple of days ago!

[@izza_vip]

Thank you for this video and wallpaper Nich !

[@rahkkas]

I review my phone contacts quarterly basis and delete unnecessary ones, feel light to have a lighter but meaningful contact list. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance, Nicholas 🎄 Love from Kolkata 🇮🇳

[@martinramadhan1641]

If i get just 4 times a week to going to Cafe for my coffee it does mean 4 cups of coffee in 1 month Does we called it Frugal Living as well ? Somebody explain, please 😊

[@scavenger1362]

I definitely go through my contacts and delete unwanted numbers. The only things I have on my phone is whatever I need on the spot. Bank, mail, kindle, news, ride share, navigation, and music. When it comes to youtube, not being on my phone, but staying with it. I prefer to watch meaningful, knowledgeable videos to see how to do and live in certain ways.

[@tentpitchr]

Everywhere you go people want you to download their app. So I appreciate this so much. Merry Christmas Nicholas

[@NicholasGarofola]

Very true, and Merry Christmas!!

[@martin.prazan]

About the watch. I just switched from smartwatch to hybridwatch (Kronaby). It feels amazing. Connected, not distracted :)

[@gearup9503]

LOVE IT, I personally use a dumb phone because I don't have the will to say no lol

[@LITTLEbigREG]

I run a two device setup. iPad for when i choose to be online and in 2025 I will be getting the Mudita Kompakt which is a minimalist phone with e-Ink screen so no harmful blue light.

[@HarshvardhanBansal-gm6zp]

Thanks man.. I asked for this one

[@MigCruz3]

would you consider doing an updated what’s on my iPhone video man?

[@hakobavetisyan98]

I was really waiting for a video like this 😍

[@kinghenryvii9718]

Factor sponsorship, that man getting 💰💰💰🔥🔥🔥

[@MorriganAvery]

Went in also to delete contacts because I never thought to-I have over 300 contacts currently and only talk to a fraction of them-I’ll have an official total later but this list is definitely getting culled.

[@Brian_Vallejo]

I recently rediscovered Civ. Looking forward to Civ 7 next year 😊

[@waschbaerkaiser]

Same. such a great game series.

[@NicholasGarofola]

One more turn...

[@hayleabean]

100% pulled up my contact list and started deleting as I continued to watch this video. How therapeutic in a way. Also, now I will never accidentally text/call the wrong contact of a person I haven’t spoken to in years 😂

[@NicholasGarofola]

It really is one of my favorite things to declutter 😅

[@edwinrodas4691]

¡Gracias por poner la pista de audio en español! Me encantan tus vídeos 🙏✨ Thanks for putting the audio track in Spanish! I love your videos 🙏✨

[@KikiAndCompany]

I haven't had a cell phone since 2010, and maaaan it is getting more and more difficult not having one. For the last few years, I've been using my partner’s phone when absolutely necessary. But I know I'll have to get my own someday. I'll be using these strategies for when that happens! (๑⚆‿⚆) Also, Great Value Keanu Reeves . . . I'd take that, haha! (๑˃‿˂)

[@jerrymoreno1714]

Love the rationale behind contact deletion. Prioritizing the people in our lives

[@abhinavgurjar196]

Your editing and talking style has really improved, cuz the last time I saw one of your videos was in July 2022 as I forgot the password of this acount😅😊

[@abhinavgurjar196]

I meant 2023*

[@richarddutchholland4780]

I have 17 contacts on my phone.. ❤

[@voiddoctor]

The fingerprints in the thumbnail are diabolical 💀

[@NicholasGarofola]

They look WAY worse there than irl 😂

[@sudomoon]

[@nicoleduret]

Awesome video! Just deleted a bunch of apps after watching it 😅

[@phillipstreams]

We should all be using signal for texts and calls.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Signal is great

[@kinghenryvii9718]

Confirming I used the Ultima Weapon on the like button

[@markadrian216]

Did I just heard a Kingdom Hearts reference at the beginning? I'm in lol

[@SamPeterson-g4s]

That mini pause hahaha

[@gospeldigitalnetworks4880]

The only thing is I do not want a minimal phone. What is the point of having a smartphone anyway if it I make it minimal 😅. For me,.take phone put it away when not using,.take it and use it to the full potential when I am using it, no middle ground. That is just me though

[@dragonballjiujitsu]

Walmart keanu reeves.....LMFAO! 🤣

[@koolieman707]

Haha 😐

[@FindingSilence]

I see you gaming with a webcam - do you livestream? Would follow and watch, if so! Also, thank you for the great videos!

[@NicholasGarofola]

It'll be here when I do! www.youtube.com/@attackonnick

[@FindingSilence]

@@NicholasGarofola 👍 Thank you! Subbed!

[@solomonkane408]

I immediately went i to my contact list and deleted almost 200 random ass people lol. Thx

[@shalxnda]

Hello

[@eladhzx]

Now suddenly I realize that you don't have any social network! And oh why?

[@NicholasGarofola]

May change that soon, although everything seems terrible to use

[@eladhzx]

@NicholasGarofola And because you're a minimalist you'll only be on one social network?

[@xDavidNYCx]

First comment ❤

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks for being here! 🙏
