I Went Phoneless For a Week. It Changed My Life...

I didn’t think I needed to do a digital detox, but after a week being phone-less, everything’s changed. Here’s the story of how removing tech from my life altered me forever.

been watching you for years now, I'm beyond impressed with your progress finny boy. keep going mate

[@NikitaVakhrushevTV]

I know the vid didn't do as well as the others you put out in the past, but this was one of your best! Effort into shots, script, pacing, etc is super good. Made me rethink how much time I've spent on my phone. Keep it up, you're an inspiration

[@TheArtificialAnalyst]

Finzar we need to get you at 1m+ subs.. your storytelling is awesome and your editing 🔥 Keep at it bro!

[@CoffeeFuelledG]

Your storytelling is fire, great vid G.

[@somebody69747]

That editing was frickin awesome. One or prolly the best I've seen so far!

[@SolarzMC]

I love when finzar posts he is my only inspiration and where i got all my experience from

[@khasabi]

I've turned off my notifications a long time ago and it helped me a lot! Just remember guys: Discipline is the most important thing! Just take a step back and look at yourself and those around you! You will see the difference! Big ups for the vid finzar!

[@finzar]

Absolutely man! And thanks so much 😍

[@loganjohnston6651]

Have you or anyone else had the problem that when notifications are off, you have a tendency to check your phone more often to see what’s going on?

[@ladybird491]

But having your cell at reach still tempts you to surf so it is still a problem

[@Rezl]

what an absolute video the edit the massage the film i also started to use less and less social media and phone and i became alot happier thank you finn and keep up the good work

[@SonKosen]

Another banger from Finzar, loved the intro editing!

[@finzar]

Thanks man!!

[@4Dul69]

Different type of video but I love it, Ive had Instagram and twitter notifications off since 2024 and it’s been really peaceful to say the least

[@user-xn3tz8ge7n]

Real good editing , I absolutely love it.

[@SugarRxsh]

I should really try this 🤔 😅

[@DTiSthimself]

YES!!

[@cartoonhyperfixated]

Woah, I’ve been seeing this video get recommended to me but I just watched it now and dude you seem way more happy without the constant need to use your phone, I would try this personally but I’m young and don’t have the money to buy things needed to learn a new hobby or sign up for a one off thing but when I’ve got that ship sailing I probably just won’t buy a phone in general, thank you for this new mindset :)

[@FlaMeBruh]

yeah, absolutely. i've done a social media detox once but i should definitely hop back on that because you're absolutely correct, no one needs it. life just flows better with out that doom scrolling you know. anyways, great video fin! keep creating and keep doing you. well made and well said! 💫

[@finzar]

Thanks man 😍

[@ElementaryBrewingCo]

Great video!!! Appreciate all the work you put into your videos!!!

[@JackedZilla]

Ive had my phone on DND(emergancy contacts can still ring through) for like a decade now, no notis, no bs, no drama, i check what i want when i want. So much better than havin notis or living by ur phone! W vid n hope more youngins follow suite!

[@GrilledGorilla]

I should'nt say anything about editing, you are literally my editing teacher. It's just perfect as always. I loved this video, it gave me massive vibe, btw in in something like yr challenge rn, i just though about myself - *i should stop damn scrolling, my job take all my time and a little bit of time i have to relax, i spend in my screen time, i hate spending my time in phone, i should literally hide it somewhere and use shitty one phone only for job messages.* Anyways thank you for this video, i feel nice for seeing, how you changed ur apartament, how KZbin and job that you love to do (editing), made your life get financially better. I hope, that you have a long happy life, and also hope, that soon i can afford a life like you right now. Wish you good day and everyone who reads it, ggwp.

[@flopp4812]

Definitely gonna give this a try. I appreciate the video mate

[@JackTheBus]

Super inspiring video - might have to try this challenge out too

[@alemzpl]

Man I've been following you since the first videos (loved the mad editing skills mixed with some Ren & Stimpy soundtracks). Your content is getting better and better and I just hope you get the number of subs you really deserve because man, the amount of passion and dedication we can see in your work is beyond belief. Thank you for this.

[@finzar]

Aw thanks man. I appreciate you sticking around and commenting today ❤️

[@RealDrexxel]

the editing only gets better every vid also good job on the challenge 😃

[@WhackyCast]

I'll do this, but only your discoveries. I'll turn off all notifications from every app except whatsapp and normal messages and phone call thingys, and I'll do more consistent work while being at the office instead of being on social media for at least half the time.

[@persononon]

I'll turn off my phone except for duolingo (I have a 244 day streak)

[@ExperimentalKana]

finzar this is your transition into a giant of a youtuber from your editing career never forget us

[@kneecapjake]

Great video, loved the ending with the skyrim music! Also feels strange to see you near my home town! I also loved your trip to devon in a previous video, you visited all the places I remembered as a kid!

[@finzar]

lol thanks man! Glad you’ve liked the travels!

[@who_is_Nova.]

The editing is so fuc'in smooth great vid btw

[@cravcave]

I hope this performs well. As a fulltime editor and social media addict myself this is very relatable id love to see more stuff like this. Good work on the editing!

5384 thousand days is equivalent to more than 14 years and Snapchat came out with the Snapstreak in 2015 which means in order to have that big of a streak it would have to be 2029

Damn its great to see someone like fin making this kind of video

[@MikeCrocker]

This isn't quite what I expected this to be. I wasn't expecting you to actually not want to turn your phone back on by the end. I'm about 2 weeks into deleting Instagram off my phone (my most used app at the time) and I do feel like it's been better without it. Honestly, you've inspired me to also turn off all of my notifications. Bouta do that as soon as I hit the comment button. Thanks Fin

[@_nebulae]

Deleted insta 2 years ago, best decision of my life. It was hard the first 2 months, but you'll realize the effects soon

[@tottle8740]

your videos weren't being recommended to me for like 5-6 months and today i thought where is finzar? and i was greeted by a fire video!

[@Matty_C_K]

There's not many out there that are down to earth, about caring for your mental health and giving a detox a fair go. It's a breath of fresh air to see someone like yourself on KZbin that actually has these core values (and then some) and getting the word out especially to the younger generation. Really proud of you.

[@finzar]

Aw man, thanks. That's really nice of you to say.

Dropped my phone in the snow 6 months ago and couldn't charge it anymore. I spent 10 days waiting for the new one to arrive, and in the meantime, I felt completely free. The 4 first days are the hardest, but you eventually get used to it. By the way, I wanted to say thank you Fin. I bought your preset packs 4 months ago, grew my channel and reached 16k subs. Really grateful 🙏

[@makingbuckets7735]

I’ve been skateboarding since 2000, glad youve decided to join the community and actually learn trick as well (I hate it when dudes just use it to ride around [and don’t get me started on longboards lol).

[@finzar]

lol. I was so tempted by long boarding 😂😭

[@4sername]

don’t do it!!!! 😂🤣🤣 one tip I will give you buddy, learn no comply tricks, pressure flips, and learn how to scoop the board, those three shall give you so much freaking control (there’s a good video by a channel called Local Joe on youtube where he talks about Kader Sylla’s 360 scoops that’s really good) sk8 N’ destroy bud and thanks for your content, Ive been learning to edit for two years now for another channel of mine, youve been an inspiration, hopefully my tip helps you with skating like your vids have helped me cheers mate 🍻

damn, i should try this! thanks finzar for the motivation!!

I know these types of videos probably aren't great for the algorithm on your channel, but please keep them up as regular "experiments". You have a great personality (not that you aren't also dashingly handsome, hubba hubba ;;;;)))) and it really shines through in this type of content. Keep up the hard work dude. P.S. I'm currently working through your Premiere editing course. It's been so helpful during my transition from FCP

[@finzar]

Lol, thank you! I appreciate it. And thanks for getting the course! I hope you like it :)

[@samuel_woo]

Really great video fin. Very interesting to see the effects of not using a phone. Even makes me want to try it out.... But i probably wont in the end sadly. I think its good to see how hooked people are. Also loved the numerous pints of Guinness haha. Loved this type of video and would love to see more, great one and very well made. Good job brother 👍🙌
