I quit my phone for 100 days and it completely changed my life

[@Undisputed_Dragon]

I've had no phone for 2 years now and I feel great. I love that disconnected from technology and connected to reality feeling. I'm in my 30s and I remember in the 90s we used to just have a landline phone and it was plugged to the wall and the whole family used the same one. And it was only for phone calls. And nowadays people do EVERYTHING on their phone. Now it's not just a phone, it's a camera and the internet and a calculator and a gaming device and a tracker. And it's a distraction. We used to think this was so helpful at first but when we think about it, it's just a distraction. And we can do so much better without it. Living in the moment and being present is far more productive and that is how we humans were intended to live our lives. I enjoyed your video. You are a very smart young man. Keep this up.

[@MaxwellRhoe]

I'm going to see if I can find the right balance. I really like being disconnected when I'm out. But messaging/calling and notes and camera are super useful to me. I just wish phones were built to be tools not distractions. Then time would never be wasted on them. Thanks for sharing your experience with this.

Wow, this deserves more views! This is such an important topic, God bless you !❤

[@tahmidhassan1532]

bro u are so underrated, great content.

[@WNReese]

I agree with you, he creates good videos

[@Sam-TeenWorkLeader]

Hey Maxwell, this video was amazing. As a small KZbinr I loved how you were able to just flow and were able to connect with the audience, I felt it. I would and have tried to go without my phone but I have a really crappy laptop and if I edit on there it crashes so I have to use my phone for editing. My current screen time is average 4 hours a day, I would ideally like to get it down to 2 hours per day. I’ve just started a ninety day challenge so I will get it down. Thanks so much bro. I’ve been watching since December and you keep getting better and better.

[@poximano1160]

i don't get how , but my phone literally was broken yesterday opened KZbin and found this video .

[@Kiff_Khongsai]

Yes. I have tried living without a phone for a year. I wouldn’t say it completely change my life. It was good, i find myself having more time with family and friends. I would get things done more than when i was with a phone. That was the most benefitting in my opinion. I never had sleeping issues as i would be in bed by 10pm already and i would get up early. But there is some downside as well. It is frustrating sometimes to have to call a friend or family members urgently or them having the need to contact you. If someone is having issues like- insomnia, procrastination and lazyness. I highly recommend trying this, you don’t necessarily need to completely dissed your phone forever. After 100 or more days, i believe you will be able to get yourself together and learn to use smart phones effectively and not your phone eating all your time away. It is just a tool not your companion!

Number 3 is very true, I’ll delete social media and start scrolling on school apps or stalking people on Spotify or I’ll be on my mail lmao.

[@Manaartojapan]

Might have to try that too. Great video!

[@diyangeluk]

I MORE THAN LOVE THIS VIDEO.. I will forward to my daughter and all of my friends because it is very enlightening. People need to realise their bad habits and find a way to change them into good ones!😇

[@PPSlider]

Good video Max I think once I'm done with high school i'll deadass get a flip phone so I can only contact the people that I absolutely need to

[@MaxwellRhoe]

I'm thinking about either getting a flip phone. My editor showed me this phone called the Light Phone which also looks cool.

[@nickgraham6720]

I will too, good idea

[@WNReese]

I like videos like these, keep it up bro

[@lion3445]

Great video!

[@Jeanne_ytb]

Great video Maxwell :) ! Can really relate to it ! Everything is just so true. Crazy to think that all the benefits you get from stopping spending much time on your phone were also all the reverse drawbacks you got when you started using your phone that much. The clips you make to illustrate are nice. Now have you got your phone back ? If so, what do you use it for now ?

[@MaxwellRhoe]

Thanks, I'm actually planning on getting on getting some sort of a dumbphone but I'm not sure which one yet.

[@BLiX7301]

@@MaxwellRhoecan you make a video if you ever get one? thanks

[@donovangardner1325]

Bro thank you, every time I've done something like this I've felt the same way. Ima try this bro

[@MaxwellRhoe]

yessir let me know how it goes

[@RembrandtHa]

2:29 bro definitely stopped the clip after he lost the point 😆

[@noobychoco454]

i still have to rely on my phone to be an artist (digital artist) but i'm improving in my own way

[@MaxwellRhoe]

I'll probably get a smart phone again but optimize it to be more like a tool. I'll try to find all the settings and apps for it. I think a video like that would help you and a lot of other people out.

[@OrestisZaxos-ry5zf]

Bruh im in the same situation right now. My phone broke and i don't have the money to fix it so I'm just going without it

[@parkerrost1203]

same thing happened to my phone about a month ago 😭

[@gameratortylerstein5636]

Bro what's your mewing streak bruh?

[@theapple604]

if you didnt use your phone did you still use your laptop or computer?

[@FlynnMadden]

You should switch to a dumb phone because you’ll still need to contact people when your outside or meeting people.

[@J_Juice88]

Random question but what macbook you got?

[@yonico_]

didn't you quit youtube a fews months ago?

[@Hunter_Macer]

Good video maxwell, I was on a hunt to finding a good phone to spend my money which my parents will pay me monthly till its fully paid You know what ill give myself a challenge, ill not use my crappy Samsung A10s until the new good phone arrives once I place a order on it, it could either be one of the following phones I might buy but like I said I can only pick one so either: - Poco M6 Pro - Poco X6 5G - Redmi Note 13 Anyways thats all I gotta say, I need help finding a good phone so I would stop wasting so much time looking for a good phone and not feel bad because I have a trash phone

[@abdullahelbaba09]

the note 13 is goated

[@Hunter_Macer]

@@abdullahelbaba09 Im going for a Poco X6 5g

I’m first 😮

[@Kokodakica]

Congratulations

[@Kokodakica]

I am not first. by 20 seconds...

[@CristinaManu-mc3xf]

Look if someone wanna do this,just take it easy bsc it's kinda hard to don't stay on ur phone for a while. Start with deleting apps from ur phone first, but if u want to go for it, just close us phone instantly and put it away in a box and let that sh!t there. Do something for you, ur life and ur peace. And don't forget why you started, always. 🤍
