This week, I spent 7 full days without a phone. No mindlessly clicking through stories, no getting stuck for hours on the explore page, no reloading my likes and views and comments every 10 minutes. I had a growing suspicion I had a phone and social media addiction and it was time to quit cold turkey to find out just what life is like without a smartphone.

She should totally do “going a week without my phone...again, but in quarantine.” I know she’s still working as much but without being able to leave the apartment, I wonder if she would spark new creativity within herself. It would help her find new things to give her breaks between editing and responding to work emails, etc. I think it’d be fun. Hey if she does, I’ll do it with her!

[@carolinemartinussen1904]

I just now saw this video. Last year, i went 2 MONTHS without my phone, and i can 100% recommend it. It gives you so much more time to live, and life is not as stressful as it usually is (at least for me). Of course, i'm in school, so i naturally see people every day, but I would get SO lonely and bored too! I admire Ashley so much for making this video! The fact that she's so honest about the whole experience is so cool, and shares everything about it is very brave. I know i'm really late watching this video, but it's really, really good. Very inspirational. Spending time without your phone, definitely makes you realize, that there's a real world out there.

Watching this on my iPad Air 😉😂

[@Jeremy-vu3ef]

honestly this video is kind of a wake up call? i use my phone a lot, and i mean 10 hours a day regularly, it’s for a lot of reasons, mostly because my thoughts are often times very overwhelming and loud and my phone is a good way to get them to stop, however it’s not the healthiest way to deal with them and it makes me not process a lot of my emotions. I’m not going to take a break from it for now because I already know that that would cause more problems than it would fix, but I think that if I combined a more thoughtful use of it later down the road in combination with therapy to help me deal with those thoughts my life would probably improve a lot. I know this is kind of weird to share under a random video thats almost a year old but I felt like I needed to share it somewhere to speak my intentions, and to show my thanks for kind of, inspiring this thought process at all

[@emgems6667]

If you struggle with overwhelming thoughts you should take up journalling! I find its a really good way to just let everything go and write down literally whatever i think about and my train of thought. Its a nice way to work around your emotions and help to understand them better :)

[@aliciaamelie7912]

Have you tried meditating before? I have been loving guided meditations on headspace (anywhere between 3 and 20min) ever since I first tried them like 2 years ago and it’s helped me to understand and manage my thoughts & feelings so much better. Definitely recommend!

[@sejalmateo0361]

[@deadaccount5795]

I had the same thought! When there's nothing electronic to do, you can find other things like reading, art, music, needle work, go out, meet people, go to a friend's house, explore your area, go to the library, hike, go to the museum; the possibilities are endless! I started to feel like, and this is going to sound bad because Ashley is not a bad person, that she didn't really have a life outside of her phone, work, or cooking. I understand that phones are basically our lives because they have all our information and help us work, but still. It was encouraging to see her begin to branch out again, though.

[@hemishalal8796]

ashley. listen up. you are worth it. you are valued and while I'm sure being a youtuber you're always concerned with views or likes because that's your job and you want to be good at your job because you care. Taking time for yourself on a regular basis is not selfish and is going to be so good for your wellbeing and mindset. trust me, ill help you be so much more motivated and expand your creativity. Sometimes we all get caught up in Instagram and spend hours doing absolutely nothing scrolling through, however taking time and doing something that you like such as picking up a hobby again that doesn't have to do with social media and your job will let you subconsciously differentiate yourself from your job. because you're not just a youtuber, your ashley and on top of that, you do youtube and brand deals and whatever else that may be. I'll help you create your own lens through which you see yourself because you're more than the amount of views that you get, rather than how others see you. I know this is so so much easier said than done and I could literally talk for hours about all of this but finding happiness and being comfortable with yourself but I've been working on this myself to grow as a person and it helps so much. I just want to help you be the best version of yourself and honestly, I hope you don't take this the wrong way. you're such an amazing person with honestly the best fashion style out there. please like this so she can see this! much love xo

I HIGHLY recommend a book I just finished called "How to break up with your phone" !! It's so good. It's a 30 days plan to build a healthier relationship with your phone with small daily exercises (like how to "curate" your apps, rebuild focus, phone hacks, using a real alarm clock, setting up "no phone zones", etc). And it only has a 24 hour period when you are not allowed to use it completely and the rest of the time you learn how to use it more mindfully.

That soup actually looks pretty good. I've noticed many meals you cook in your videos look tasty! They may not be elaborate but they look like a simple meal for young adults (like myself)!!!! You should make a video about your go to recipes!!!

U need some help

[@nokiablockia7589]

mine is 7 hours on Saturday and around 4 hours on school days (this includes like homework, calls etc.) and 6 hours on Sunday I've been tryin to get to bed earlier so around 11:00 to 11:30 and it's working because I've begun to get tired at this time. For anyone who needs sleep I used a few simple steps 1. Get into bed a bit earlier 2. Have a warning alarm 10 minutes before you want to sleep 3. Have an app that when it reaches a certain time it blocks only certain apps, for example Snapchat, youtube etc. but doesn't block phone or gallery Another way you could do it is you can block the wifi at a certain time . If you continue this your mind will get used to sleeping at that designated time and after a few weeks you won't need to switch of the wifi etc. because you will be too tired at the designated time. I've been doing this for a few weeks and I can say it defo helps.

Ashley, I want to thank you for this video. I watched this when it came out but somehow it got recommended to me again today, after a week of stressful work. I had some work to get done this afternoon and it was so much quicker without my phone. and also less stressful because I'm a sucker for productivity so I try to multitask all the time...but it stresses me out and I end up doing nothing!!! So thanks. :)

I’m sorry but the way that David looks at Ashley is so so sweet

[@gabrielacampolina3696]

I was a bit uncomfortable watching this because all I thought throughout the video was: YOU CAN READ BOOKS!! Books fill the gap of the phone, at least for me. I tried the same thing when I was on holidays, and I read four books in a week. A WEEK. It's so weird but I kept a book with me whilst I was out, so I could read and still go out and not interact with people. So, idk. maybe you need to find another hobby. I do too, because sometimes books aren't enough or I still would have to pay for them. Phones are so weird because we do almost nothing when we're not working on them, and yet we feel like it's our entire lives. That being said, I LOVED your video. I love how 100% honest you always are and it's one of the reasons why you're one of my fav youtubers right now.

[@kiaratheexplorer4]

i don’t get you... you said you were a bit “uncomfortable” watching this bcs she didn’t think to read a book (4 books like you) but then you said you loved the video and her channel rn ? whaaa

[@gabrielacampolina3696]

Kiara B I can’t like something made by someone without feeling a bit uncomfortable at some point? I can only fully like or dislike something? Those are not mutually exclusive feelings.

[@bellegrosser3528]

[@joigibro3974]

Joigi Bro I’m not nitpicking. And even if I were, I’m allowed to. I’m not saying she’s a horrible person because she doesn’t read books. I don’t care about that. I only shared what I thought based on MY experience without a phone. I’m just sharing. Stop trying to make it look like I said something so horrible.

This video is so interesting. I think I can recognize in some of your thoughts something that I (over a year later, in quarantimes) see in myself a lot. Either I'm on my phone or I'm not but I feel a constant need to do something. Even when I don't want to work, I feel like I have to be doing laundry or cleaning my room or doing something useful. Like I always need to be productive or distracted.
