I quit social media for one week (ft. the books I've been reading instead)

[@rosettagrey2851]

Me looking at my 9+ hour screen time, trying not to make eye contact with Paige... 😂

[@khalilahd.]

I feel like everyone has been here before so don’t feel so bad! Regardless I’m proud of you for being conscious of it and trying to be more productive. Loved this idea and I think I’ll give it a try too 😅❤

[@celalal2979]

I realised that I have been watching you when I was getting prepared for my IGCSE, it was really nice to watch your Cambridge vlogs, that was a motivation ahhahaha. Now I am in University, still watching your vlogs once in a while.

[@davidhill8163]

Great, well done. Its such an addiction, even if its used for spreading positivity. Go out into nature. You are doing amazingly.

[@SnehaSrik]

Big yes to Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, I absolutely loved that book! (I also read it ends with us recently and quite frankly hated it haha) I actually have my mid semester break at the moment and have spent the first few days wallowing away in social media. I have about a week left of the break so I am going to give this a go. At least try to give this a go :,) I will see how it turns out

[@angelyn.archive]

Hiii Paige, i did the same this week 😄 i need a dopamine baseline control so that i would be focused on my exam and interested to study hehehee. It has been really helpful!

[@rondoflicflac]

I set a rule for myself of not using Instagram during the day, only in the evenings and it has been really helpful bc I know longer open it without thinking during the day

[@EmilyJane14]

Side note, but I so wish I could've come to see you speak at Medwards!! I just finished my MPhil last fall and was at Medwards myself. Your undergrad chronicles were such a big influence on my desire to go to Cambs. And in your vlog, you walked right past my old flat!! I didn't think I'd get a lil nostalgia trip while watching this vlog as well as lots of inspiration (deleting apps as we speak!). Thanks for another awesome video!

[@Faye_L]

Oops... you caught me watching this when I was supposed to be taking a detox day myself. 🤣 KZbin is the only social media I struggle with, though, and it's mostly because I have health issues that make it hard for me to pass my time in any other way at certain times. But every now and then I try to at least take one day off. A week, though... well done you!

[@bellablack8308]

I think a little bending the rules is fine, because social media is useful and if its a messenger even more and you can't scroll

[@mohammedhussain6749]

I did an indirect detox from my phone/human contact as I hit head really hard so I was in and out consciousness for few days as anytime I woke up I just opted to sleep again. Once I decided to wake properly and asking about me missing anything important or significant? Nothing, but the queen died which I thought was a joke

[@thechayanbiswas]

I took the same action after getting your notification but I'm not sure if I'll able to stick to it, because I've taken this sort of action before and sadly failed multiple times. Things that I deleted (thought someone will be keen about it) -WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and set a screen time for KZbin :) > Now I'm going outside and touching some grass

[@danielbautista7]

Idk, if you can study/work as much as you do and still check social media everyday I think the balance is already struck lol. But it is relaxing to be away from social media for a while Living in the present is a good reason 💯 good to pay attention to how you feel about how you’re spending your time. The balance is different for everyone

[@EmmaLouiseVlogs]

Pictured: me messaging you when I am also meant to be off social media (but for a whole month!). I deffo think messages don't count...🤣🤣

[@johnnymac4997]

yes, its so insidious...i was saved by my comp breaking down and i've gone 'back to black', as Amy might sing...black and white , print!!! lol Books are best! as i seem to recall Proust, no less, made clear, although he meant social talking/mixing generally of that era of course

[@dominikak8663]

I finished listening 'Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo' in audiobook one week ago and loved it too! Actually after that book I'm having troubles with getting into next book 😅

[@PaigeY]

I knowww it sets such a high bar!

[@annafouatih218]

That's so great for you ♡ we should all detox from time to time

[@terra.amherst_7321]

I think i can do that too. No social media for weeks and just reading books.

[@majewlime4084]

My average daily phone usage is only 15 minutes, but my computer screen time is... 😬😬😬

[@GiftedAngel-fp1il]

I've been trying the same for months, but I can't just get rid of WhatsApp and youtube, It's impossible for me, because I need youtube to study for example. You're so brave :x

[@philippamuir332]

Hi you recently did a house tour video but did not mention a garden. Does your house have a back garden that you can use in summer

[@Marianne475]

I did it for two weeks, but everyone got worried so I had to go back :(

[@hajarsalajmi]

I did it last week with tiktok because my daily screen time for tiktok is 7 hours!!!! actually i did manage it for 4 days but my sleep hours increased 😂

[@PaigeY]

More sleep is definitely a win! 🙌

[@silvialogan9226]

Paige, I do not use social media that much. I use Facebook a little bit and I am on Linkedin. I do not use Instagram, Twitter, What's App nor TikTok. Paige, when are your exams and how many do you have to write?

[@leticiavieira4646]

I quit too, I'm at first 1 month 😂 I need to get 2 certifications at next 6 months I got to get focussss omgggg 😂😂😂

[@PaigeY]

Yesss 👏👏👏

[@leticiavieira4646]

@PaigeY paigey! I am going to visit the UK (I'm from brazil) in September this year, and I needed to include Cambridge at my travel plan because of your influence on the city 😅😅 Love your videos! Keep doing them for us! It is an inspiration ✨️

[@BadThetan]

You do realize your screen time involves any games you play on your phone as well as any movies all count toward your screen time

[@juijoshi1027]

not me checking my screentime after watching this video😅, u truly are amazing Paige u inspire me a lot, grateful for you 🧡 ( Fun fact: ive been off instagram for a month and a half now)

[@ebrutuncay6181]

Paige please share your favourite content creators :) so curious:)

[@rafaelleduarte]

The fact that Paigey actually uses WhatsApp is quite surprising for me. WhatsApp was massively popularised here in Brazil and we use it for communication in various contexts. I wonder if this application is widely used in the UK as well.

[@Polkadot-ll8gz]

Yes it’s definitely popular in the UK! 😊

[@PepperpigWorld]

Are you sure social media is not impacting your ability to have a relationship, I would not like someone who shares as much as you online !

[@khrystynamykhailiuk1024]

Could I ask you, how you have so much time per day to scroll social media? 😅 Cuz even if I would want I don't have so much free time to surf the net.

[@peace_larva]

Good to see I'm not the only weirdo who still has Among Us on their phone.

[@rondoflicflac]

❤❤❤

[@grachoderunwiderstehlichen]

you was seven day's off the data line??? sure , your hair look very well maintain ...😘 if time managament goes this way -do it more often

[@COBO2]

No your not doing a good job of it. Even cheating a little counts as going on social media 😂

[@autismguy2060]

Paige show us the messages on your WhatsApp Family group chat and your Women's Squad 22/23 [Joke]
