[@pramitinandi]

I discovered you some days ago, and after watching 'how to study efficiently' video, i immediately hit 'subscribe'. it was an eye opener by itself. then i proceeded to watch more of your videos, and it was worth it. amy, thank you for your patience, and honesty, in sharing your journey, and all these amazing unpopular tips with us. i consider youtube as a huge distraction, but with your videos, it isnt. your videos made me realize that we all have a purpose in life, and we just really need to keep grinding until we reach a milestone out of nowhere. all along, i used to wait for life to happen. for that one milestone to reach. but after this, i want to just keep working hard. do my homeworks on time, study on time, use all those tips you mentioned (all of them are a big plus), and just keep going like this. key to stop thinking about milestones is patience. and as for me, i am a sick patient struggling with 'impatience' (please dont leave me-). i started meditating everyday for 10 mins. its an eye-opener itself. now i am starting small, but solid study sessions, to utilize every moment into building up that milestone i want to reach. you made us realize that our dreams can be turned into reality. we CAN do it. so world, fighting! lets be determined, and dedicated, keep watching @wAmy 's videos, and apply them! 'I will thrive, not just survive' thank you Amy, for such insightful content you provide to us. thank you, really. 💌💖

Really Motivating....FIGHTING

[@wamyy5]

So grateful you stumbled upon my channel and that you appreciate my perspective. I believe everything is what we make of it. Social media and KZbin can indeed be super helpful tools, life-changing in the positive sense. But if not used correctly, they can also change our life for worse, so I try to constantly evaluate whether I'm optimizing my actions, how I think, how I feel. And it's not a productivity guru sense, but in the natural, intuitive way of making sure that we are happy, doing things as smoothly as possible, and won't have regrets in the future. It's awesome that you joined our like-minded A-Team community where we're all trying to reach our potential and live our best lives! Milestones are created by ourselves just like success is by our own definition. Since we coexist in this society, some things like money we have to still have enough of to be comfortable, but at some point, as long as we're working hard and being true to ourselves, we are having success each and every day. I don't think of success as a thing you get at the end of working hard; rather, you're successful each day you make it a good day. It's a state of being. I'm also trying to meditate more! Really awesome that you're taking little steps because those habits are what compound over time. Jiayou! Fighting! ❤ Wishing you the best!

[@user-pc2pm7xl3y]

it's always what my grandma says, there are plenty of good AND bad things out there. and it is up to you, and you only, to choose which ones you pick. Amy's channel is the good thing we get in the world of youtube.

​@@Interdacted depends on the type of content you're consuming and how you're using your phone if you're always watching reels, shorts and tiktok videos that are not related to your ambitions, school, University etc then you're just getting brain washed

[@agathalynx]

For everyone saying “social media is not a problem”, IT IS. Social media is literally designed to be addictive, because corpos make money off of it. Of course, it’s up to you to decide how you use SM, but don’t underestimate its addictive core.

[@wamyy5]

YES exactly. We need to look at the big picture, who's behind social media, and what do they gain at our expense?

[@flyingdumpling5204]

I'm addicted to KZbin and shorts actually. It's hard to ignore these cause it is always a way to just take a break from study ( a very long break).

[@user-ob6yk9mw4e]

For yt short you can pause your history like that way KZbin wouldn't show videos on your home feed and you wouldn't be able to scroll shorts too .... Hope this will be helpful

[@DanielZanca-ou3pj]

It is worse than Instagram because even though it is less addictive, you can't delete it from your phone. I deleted Instagram and TikTok long ago because I noticed they were harmful to me. However, since I am unable to delete KZbin, sometimes I waste a lot of time on KZbin shorts. I am not able to stop doing something if I don't tackle the root issue, and how am I supposed to do that if I can't delete the app? The worst thing about this is that you don't realize how much time you are wasting until it is too much.

[@moonknight372]

A game changer for me was deleting them off my KZbin page!! In the short clusters there’s an “X” next to “see all” and it removes them from your homepage for a month. Highly recommend this, after a few days you’ll forget KZbin has shorts.

The main problem with us is not social media but also parents and social offline group. When we put our phone turn off we start thinking about the taunts which our parents give which has nothing to do with us, the trauma of the childhood and so many disturbing things, and what happens As soon as turn our phone all those bad thinking becomes distractions and the phone becomes our escape point. I think the society should improve and also solutions need to be make for such scenarios which is almost 90% genz are facing because of generational gap.

Hey Amy. So... Alright lemme tell you: I confess that yes I have an addiction to social media. More specifically KZbin. I actually have many addictions and most of them are related to my phone 📱. Now the thing is that I have severe depression and anxiety. The last few months I had mental breakdowns (at least 4 so far) and this had ruined my semester! Not even a few days ago I had such a powerful mental breakdown!!! It was INTENSE AF!!!! I've thought that I reached my lowest point before but MAN I WAS WRONG!!!!! I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD FEEL THAT LOW!!!!!! This is obviously affecting my capacity to study but not only that! Actually I have been struggling to do the most basic stuff actually! Such as washing myself, brushing my teeth, studying, practicing my hobbies etc. It's really gotten so bad that I cannot currently revise for my exam which is after tomorrow :( I really don't know what to do I don't even know why I am telling you all this 😅😅 I mean we talked initially about social media addiction. The point I was trying to get to was that I have addictions because of my shity mental health :/ Could you make a video about: how to manage to study even during a mental breakdown??

I struggled a lot with improving myself in these things, and wamy, I am also going to give you a credit, bcz of you, I have a bit stronger and matured mindset than before!❤ I'm so glad to be a part of A-team!🎉

Hi Amy, thanks for reminding me about this ☺️ i feel more comfortable with my life now and grateful with everything that i have now. I hope everyone will be living their life well and happy.

[@Jessica-yb3in]

Hey Amy! Thank you for posting this. I think about all the things you say in your stories, but no one has really said it out loud in such a way to help me understand how distracting and life-sucking social media is. Plus, this video came at just the right time because AP exams are coming up and I don’t want a good score to slip away simply because of a lack of self control 💚🧡

[@KEYsource13]

its crazy how much u got me motivated and i deleted my social media apps with you too!, and tbh it felt good so now i can have better focus. ty

[@user-wh1tv8ps4g]

Watching this video, I'm not in an exam season, I'm on a holiday! And I'm sure this video will help me get good use from it. Thank you! ❤

[@wiktorgoaszewski7337]

Thank you for this video. I recently realized that I got too much addicted to Instagram and others social medias and unfortunately my grades become worse too, and I really felt bad for me and now when I have your video watched I feel that I still can "rebecame" the person I used to be 2 years ago. Thank you so, so much

[@oukhtysasaaa]

Thank you so much,completly gonna do that ❤

[@SweekrutiRaniSwain-uo1on]

Thankyou Amy for this video. I am very much distracted of youtube shorts. Now I going to put the habits you said in my daily life to achieve my full potential and succeed in my field.❤

[@KayasKreations]

Thank you so much. I just deleted all the addicting “” apps off my phone. This is just what I needed to hear.

[@mint._cloud]

I honestly was on a social media break and came back now, seeing this video makes me soo happy today. I totally agree with you, like with the journal part....i felt that during my break. and seeing u getting emotional like a lil bit during 12:35 was so like i can't even explain it made me emotional as well, i definitely saw the emotions in your eyes. yuppp i totallyyy agreee with the app deleting system, it totally works. I legit love the positivity in this video, I love the efforts amyy

[@dianamiller-xz2vz]

I started losing my memory more too, i hate that i cant remember stuff anymore it makes me feel and look like an idiot to everyone's around me

[@book_addict]

i literally love you so much, you are the main reason i was able to make an academic comeback. You are the most humble and kind hearted person ever. Your personality and your mindset are so admirable (along with your successes of course). I am so lucky i found you on youtube, they were the only study related videos that motivated me and when I felt too lazy to study or I just felt like scrolling on instagram, i watched one of your videos and it helped so much! Thankyou so much for always being there and putting out those amazing study tips. Love from Pakistan💞

[@ShevinAndresen]

Last year I was addicted watching too much you tube videos and this year I'm addicted to tiktok Thank you so much for posting this video Amy you're a lifesaver

[@lycheeluvr17]

Just deleted TikTok for the summer, hopefully I’ll get a 4.0 in summer classes and get out skateboarding more, this video gave me a final push to delete it tysm

[@umakannan1330]

thank you so much amy ive been requesting it for almost a moth now and you came up with it we stan a helpful queen

[@wamyy5]

Yayyy yes been working hard on this video!

[@Samira_07]

Thank you so much amy for making this video. I have my finals coming but i have been scrolling everyday instead of studying. I promise to cut off the social media and live the real life. One amazing thing happened was my phones display was gone but still have been using laptop to scroll but now its time to stop and find who i am. Have nice trip to china and enjoy a lot^^ Love you

[@user-pd9zh5sq7i]

Hey girl! Thank you so much for this honestly u change my life like ur my sister. Right now for me its holidays and my family is here and I can understand what u mean by u are more observant and grateful for what u have, I know that I am small and young but still I want to support myself and be more matured than my age. Girl I really want to meet u, you are a changer not for just me but for 100's of other people. I am just in year 6, but at the same time, I feel like a 20 year old woman. I will thrive, not just survive. ❤

[@Rrutiikiingg]

i just deleted all my social media and all those distracting shopping and entertainment apps id subconsciously reach out too, thanks amy for always being a best friend through your videos, lots of love

[@hyunjinshairband1]

hey, amy! i love the new style of videos and the thumbnail, its so cool. but of course, the same great vibe from you always stays 💗

[@Lizzie-dx5ln]

I almost left the video because of how long the intro is. I’m so glad I got to the part where you talked about short attention spam before i was about to leave. This video has actually given me motivation to delete majority of my social media and stick to it. Thank you very much for this video!

[@sakimizumi5432]

THANK YOU AMY FOR POSTING THIS....IM REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THIS SITUATION RIGHT NOWWWWW

[@wamyy5]

YOU CAN DO IT

[@moremusic25]

Thank you so much for this video, I was feeling lost, without a purpose in life really... so after watching your video I realized I was spending the majority of my time on social media instead of going for a walk or go out with friends!! I was so stressed... Now I want to go for a walk, to read a book... live my life! Thank you so much, really!!

[@NotMePlease1]

Your words are so precious.

[@daryus_0828]

Thank you so much for those inspirating videos. Continue posting them and you will help millions of people to reach their max capacity.

[@maiadivaaa]

thank you for this video !

[@Jonesgracey253]

another tip I’d include specifically for people who need social media like Amy does for work, I have a separate phone that has social media whilst my main phone has none . It helps me a lot!

[@L-pk9iv]

It helps when you ask yourself what you actually want to watch before you open the apps, like 'oh I'd really like to learn more about ...'

[@florabhatt2661]

I can totally relate to your 1st and 2nd story and I have been spending a lot of my time figuring out what has happened to me. I honestly didn't think of this aspect and as I was watching this video, it made me see the pattern of when I am lashing out on my loved ones, forgetting major things and it just made me more crazyyy. But thank you soo much that I found your video. I am too grateful that even I uninstalled the instagram.

[@kuldeepsinghmonga3909]

Thank you sooo sooo much ❣️💫

Wow love your honesty I hope full of happy time and life for you amazing girl🦋

[@Val.Sonnenschein.19]

Hi Amy, I watched so much of these “get your life back” videos and I honestly have to say this is the only video wich really helps me. I said always to myself “I have to delete this scrolling from my life but had every time the excuse that why can’t I be like normal kids in my age who don’t care if there wasting there life on social media. everyone does this so I can do to And now I know why I can’t, cause the kids will never achieve the things that I want to achieve, there highest dream isn’t to get into an Elite University like Oxford, they’re just don’t care about there grades. But I always did. And yes I also have these straight As and maybe it’s easier for me than for others. But I also ever wanted to be good because I want to achieve big goals in my life. So thank you this Video was exactly what I needed to know again what I can and wich dreams I want to reach ❤

[@isskalima]

Thank you very much for this❤ video, it helped me remember those coins when I made a challenge like you in 2023 in the summer, I felt what you felt. But after I downloaded social media again, I passed the exam more aggressively, each time I spent preparing for the exam for later, and a feeling of emptiness that life was boring. But this video helped me realize everything, and I, too, like you, will delete the social network and bkdu, focus more on the exam and self-love and life You are the best KZbinr and you are always give the best advice that work love u❤❤❤ Ps: I even cried when you started talking about grandma and grandpa because I think so too😭

[@elleroya1268]

Thank you so much for this video. I recently deleted instagram and TikTok off of my phone and I now have a designated hour at the end of my day where I look at social media on my iPad. It genuinely does not bring me any joy unless I change my algorithm to positive content, much like this video, so there is not a lot that compels me to re-download it onto my phone. I’ve noticed, the same way that you did, that I am a lot more grateful and observant of the world around me, because I think as humans we are not designed to be exposed to so many other peoples lives. The constant comparison is absolutely a thief of joy. I am excited for this new life ahead without social media taking over my brain! We are so much more powerful than the world leads us to believe. ❤

[@eternalstellar1]

i want to start living my life, because of the war in my country and fear, that my life and lives of my loved ones could be lost for nothing. thank you for video

[@cattidesjar4229]

Thank you so much for this. I really to be productive this summer and social media & my low self-esteem has been taking thay away from me.

[@kpopcharlits]

Whenever I get up I always time myself like 3 hrs insta and then we will do our work, but I always end up procrastinating. The context of the page gets more interesting and I forget about it and then when I finally put my phone down my whole energy is drained. I am going to delete a few apps on my Phone for sometime, till i achieve my goals. Thank you so much Amy, I found your channel just yesterday and I am already loving it and watching all your videos for motivation ❤

[@DiptiDeshmukh-xx6nd]

Hi amy thanks for this vedio I am preparing for a exam and its been two to three days I have been mindlessly scrolling yt shorts its currently 3am and knowing the fact that I wasted my whole 1 year of preparation I still keep on doing it. My parents asleep think that I am awake to study but I know the reality I am already a year late so now I pronise myself that I will hustle hard and from tomorrow I will never ever open yt shorts I give this challenge to myself for my betterment. I delete all apps not needed for study and from tomorrow I will hustle hard and to make most of my time to achieve my aim.

[@isabelladeng7634]

excited to live life and just be able to do things

[@Mrs.tailor]

Sis your content is really helpful thanks for uploading something this real ✅not reel ❌, your new subscriber ☺️

[@NameZei]

I'm hopping off of youtube (long form content too) because it's just taking too much time away. Without it, I'm excited to sit down and actually lock in and study for my 5 AP tests, as well as get back into video editing, reading this fire book I got from my school library, and journaling more frequently. Thank you Amy for this amazing video, a lot of times videos like these don't really help but today I actually feel like taking action. Cheers to everyone else and good luck on your journey!

[@starwaltz.2]

Thank you so much for all your content! You really inspire me!

[@AmritMehra892]

Thanks for your video ❤

[@lonelywolf1210]

It was so messed up to watch other people’s lives, I got so mad for having a boring life compared to them, now I don’t worry about that anymore, now I can focus on my own and not think about other people’s lives, now I feel peace in my brain and life, now everything is much better

[@kareenathakkar3100]

Thank you so much Amy! I really love your content. You're one of the valuable youtubers I have come across. You make me think about important stuff such as this video is genuinely helpful. I have been watching a lot of KZbin these days in my summer vacation. I really want to focus more on important things but i keep finding myself scrolling on KZbin and then later regretting it. Please keep creating such insightful content!!!! Have fun on your trip❤

[@luisadavila4527]

Gurl, I’m literally half of your video and already deleted IG, not like account shut down but deleted app, I feel SO relatable, been depressed, moody, my bf asks me all the time if I’m ok, I spend HOURS at reels and garbage content, I don’t feel like a person anymore, glad I found your video, thank you.🙏

[@anuritasingh8589]

Thankyou for the video Amy❤
