Its been 3 years since i started prep and left my average job for it,my father retired in 2020. Then started prep while staying at home and then phone addiction started from 2nd wave lockdown. And still haven't covered Laxmikant for once, it started from prep related scrolling to mindless scrolling and gaming, tried all possible methods to overcome it but I am now addicted with short attention span(took 1 month to cover Indian constitution at work, merely 2 days enough to complete). Now I actually understand what alcohol and other addict go through. Now I am 29 with gap in my career, still at beginner level with 2 attempts left 2024,25(and we know minimum 1.5 years of study req. even after that clearing exam is a different game) and have appeared once only(can't appear 32 age attempt bcz of my DOB- upsc exclude people born before august). Many may laugh reading this, I stand and see me getting Destroyed but I hope it will help and make few aware how bad can phone addiction and procrastination can go and never let it grow over you. All the best to aspirants.
phone addiction sbse danger hai
hello mate. I cannot imagine how you must be feeling. But I very well understand what addiction can do to you. did you try selling your phone and shift to the keypad wala phone? it worked for me.
Same here, you're not alone 🙏
Same situation😢
It's okay... Modern world isn't designed according to our human evolution. It's tough to do hard work don't be sad
Challenge accepted... i am a YT addict ... i have left using social media a long time back but i spend hours on YT on watching videos how to be efficient and i do watch them but eventually i go to some other video and spend 2-3 hrs like this.... (all this i do during my study hours) .... even at night this is the case.... tomorrow DR SHIVIN i will come back and edit this comment to tell you if i passed it or not .... THANK YOU SO MUCHH :)

Main points: Changing Environment for Social Media Reduction: - Identify patterns and create barriers. - Delete apps, use browser, turn off notifications. - Use apps like Forest for focus. - Set boundaries and limit night phone usage.
This is literally needed so much…thank you for highlighting this problem and giving the solutions!! My mom is in the education sector and she’s starting to observe massive issues in students’ behaviour because they are not even able to focus on 25 minute lectures,as the periods in school were changed from 50 minutes to 25 minutes because the students were unable to focus…it is BaD.
Bro also talk about p*rn addiction... I got addicted in 8 class when some harmai showed be a video i got curious he took 50 rs from me and filled my pendrive with the "STOCK" of difference categories.. even i advised a lot of people jub bhi siucidee ka thought aaye por* dekh lenna uppar ka sara tannav necche aa jayega aur phir tum marne ki nhi maaarne ki sochoge . now I regret it since then I tried too hard and so many times but couldn't get rid of it.. whenever I get hold of Little privacy all I think about is whacking my meat 💦.. now I don't even enjoy it I just do it for the sake of doing to get rid of the urge so i don't more time thinkin about it

@@kishor.k8092 first half of your comment is so relatable.🤣😭
@@kishor.k8092 Bro to dusre ke comments ke niche comment me ye batana jaruri hai 😂
@THE ZOLDICS absolutely same thoughts. I really really wants actions taken ASAP on this issue 😭 it’s actually destroying our whole country
The way he told us we're better was also a trap he had put just to keep us watching with dopamine and then get out of the phone trap 💀 bro I hear it at the end , I did the comment already, I know I was being tricked were all being tricked and we are getting tricked intentionally even after knowing were tricked , we're all fucked up guys , Let's get better now!!!!!!
A drop year JEE Aspirant here. I realised this happening to me a few months ago and slowing started to cut off Instagram and Snapchat first and then KZhead shorts. What people don't realise is that despite having xxxx amount of followers or friends a lot of these people don't even care about you. At the end when I did completely stop using my social media accounts I realised I had only 3 people other than my family who cared about my wellbeing. Plus also a lot of my 'friends' who also took a drop year weren't taking it seriously and honestly this entire thing forced me to surround myself with better people who had same goals as me. Been using these dopamine detox tips since the last 3-4 months and my attention span has increased so much and short form content irritates me atp 😂 SO for all the people who are trying to cure this addiction, keep going and don't lose hope!!
Same Bhai what's next? Will u start preparing for upsc? Or will take second drop?? Give me ur telegram
@@Canvas2.000 Nah man, this year is my 1st drop for JEE so gonna be focusing on that. I'm not a UPSC aspirant haha :D
Thank you!!
Sir, I did the things mentioned in the video and added a bit more task from my side. Literally completed the things I would have procrastinated for months in matter of 4 to 5 hours. Recently we had internal exams so my momentum was set. This video is a catalyst. Deleted my apps and did not touch KZhead until now. I kind of feel guilty now even to use any other distracting app or ways. I just want to read everything. Thank u so much. The fact about using phone at night after studies was actually the hidden cause of my insomnia. Since last week, I feel sleepy like a drunk person sharp at 9 30 pm and sleep. No more sleeplessness at night and guilt in the morning for wasting my time on screen. Thank u sir.
Great!
Whenever any issues arises in my upsc journey his video pops up giving the solution to that exact issue 😂 (this is I am telling from the bottom of my heart ❤️)
😂
I beat the addiction in just 2-3 days just by promising to my most loving one, "If I will not be able to do so, please don't talk to me for next one week." and started studying 8-10 productive hrs a day. Higher the risk, higher the return will be. Your loving one will definitely understand your problem, give it a try if one accept the promise. Once you get used to, you will not need such hard pledges but initially it will help a lot get fast recovery from addiction.
I am so glad you addressed this.. I was already doing these things but by hit and try methods I didn’t know the biology in detail behind it. But I was an addict during COVID 2020 times when I was in college but since 2022 I have achieved this ‘do the heavy task and then reward your brain’ stage. I hope people benefit from this. ALSO a tip for anyone struggling try to bore yourself if you can’t study but don’t pick up your phone.
This video was a true reflection of what we are doing wrong without recognising the very fact . I felt it personally as well that when i use social media/ youtube without any purpose , i feel guilty of using it & wasting my time . And when i switch off the phone & study hard , meeting targets - i feel more productive. So let's begin the journey from being guilty to being productive. No dopemine shots required any longer .
This was SO SO HELPFUL. You made me come back to my senses. Even thanking you a ton would be less, but you surely made an impact on my life. This vid was literally needed in this era. I just became a 12th grader, and this was what i probaly needed but ignored. I am surely going to implement it. 🙌❤
This really worked for me. Not regularly checking out social media apps greatly helped me to focus on my studies. Thanks a lot for putting light on this topic!🙏
I really appreciate your scientific approach towards every problem sir, it amazes me to know how strongly you can relate with us, saying random things that we all can relate ( I was literally smiling coz i could relate with those things) thank you for this solution, I'm late in watching this but it's worth it.. Also, you're not any random person who tells us something, you're our best mentor 💯🙏🏻 I'm glad I subscribed to you ( I forever will subscribe for anything you are doing) Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much sir for addressing the issue I wasted two hours this morning feeling very low since then.. Even though I consciously know I'm getting addicted I am not able to stop scrolling shorts and this is the second time I'm stuck in this vicious cycle , but after watching this video I promise to myself that I would make every effort to end this addiction from today and now onwards .... Thank you so much sir for being there with the students . May god bless you with great success that you yearn for in the years to come.
Main ab se you tube nahi use karu ga . Ye mein khud se sapat leta hu. Thank you sir for motivating and guiding us ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Sir, i didn't open any social media for one day and it's blowing my mind that i did more work in one day than i did the past two months. It's crazy how much of an effect social media had on me. Even though i knew somewhere that i was addicted to using my phone but seeing it first hand was scary af. I felt this constant urge to open my phone and check social media but at then end of the day I felt 100× better that i resisted it. So, i am committed on overcoming this addiction now and it's all thanks to you! I am eternally grateful to you. Thank you :)
So true!! Each of the dopamine patterns you have described exactly happens with me. The worst one being using phone in the morning and wasting entire day😢
This is just wow, thank you so much! I'm proud of myself that I don't fall into a lot of categories but still it was great to dig deeper into neuroscience with you. Hope you share some more neuroscientific aspects of our human body from your experience and knowledge in Medical Science. Keep Smiling! :)❤️
Thank God, I somehow came across your video. I was facing this issue a lot and got a very informative content. Your Channel is Gold. Congratulations on Your Rank and Selection.
Thanks a ton.. Can't relate more to anything ... All u said was soo relatable and soo mch needed.... Pls keep up the great work.. Our technologically advanced generation needs people like u... Thanks once again.. God bless ya 🎉❤
I didn't watch this video coz I'm addicted to my phone or something. As I've already identified my pre-addictive stage and now I'm practising to control it. The reason I clicked on this video is the impact that you have created. I knew even before watching this that I will definitely get some new concept. And I must say you never disappoint your viewers. Thanks for the concept of 'neuroplasticity' and 'relationship between pleasure and pain'. Thank you once again.🙏
Hello dr. shivin I feel super proud of myself i didnt use any social media for the whole day .changed location of yt and telegram immediately. And revised most part of geography and part of economy current affairs gave sectional test of polity and geography This dopamine (satisfaction) is far better than that mindless random scrolling. Thank you
You've been a blessing in disguise, when I really needed it to reach me and pull me out of the darkest pits of social media had pushed me into . Thank you so much sir ❤
This is probably the best video I've ever seen. Thanks for showing me the way :)
You are doing God's work Dr Shivin! I am really thankful to have found your channel❤ Achieve great things in life, you🧿
day 2 - did youtube for 20 mins and i am honest in this .... this is difficult DOC ! but i will do this detox whole month
Just saw the video and let me truly share that I am, from last one week practicing this, opened my youtube for an hour only on Sundays and all the social media apps are deleted. I have never ever felt this productive. I already completed so many things which used to be due for months. I hope people start doing it because it's just so needed.
Word to word everything you said is 💯 correct and relatable . Will implement this challenge and will come back in comments 🎉
Thankyou for this video. I wasn't able to understand how i am not able to study after using my phone in the morning. This video showed up at the most appropriate time.
Literally the best video I have found till now !!!! Thanks a lot 🙏....the way you explained the whole thing and explained the whole point of the video at last was just awesome !!
I accepted that I am yt addicted. I am UPSC NDA 2024 ASPIRANTS. THANKS. SIR. FOR THIS. I AM IMPLEMENTING. TO LEFT MY PHONE ADDICTION
The first step which I took after watching this video is deleting Instagram and Facebook but I don't use it much but the lesson I got from this will be definitly implimented in my life.
I did it👍..Thank you so much for being there for us🤝
I'm so glad you made this video. It was much needed💖
Sir ur congratulations in video itself infuses dopamine 😊 ...a big thank you for ur efforts and guidance!!! I hope to implement the methods n tricks suggested by u...please keep on making videos on the issues for which we as aspirants really feel stuck in... Your videos are really motivating and guide in a right direction ! ❤thank you sir !
I'm a phone addict, my screen time is 9-11hrs without any educational use. I really needed this. Thank you so much sir really appreciate it. I will not use YT & Insta for the rest of the day & open it tomorrow for a comment. There is a one question. How do i reward myself, how i use dopamine to my advantage?
Do physical exercise and go for morning walk without phone.
use Phone as a reward system only, After working for 6 hrs, Give that your time for 30 minutes as a reward, Or Do some other activities which you enjoy
It's been 3 months how are you doing now?
I completed the task! Not opened YT until now since yesterday. Thank you ❤️
This might be just a normal video for some people, but for me it was no less than an eye opener. I have my CA Foundation exams after 28 days. I'm not well prepared. I know it but I'm still mindlessly scrolling youtube and searching any random things which can be of no use to anyone on earth. Fortunately, I found this video at around 11:55 PM after wasting the entire day on phone. I promise myself that I'll not let myself do injustice with future self anymore. I apologise for what I did. No matter whatever it takes, I'll give my 100% now. Thankyou So Much to the creator of this video. I don't have words to express how thankful I am to you... I'm Taking up arms and am Ready for the battle.
love! love! love!! 💌 thank you so much Shivin!!❣
🇮🇳 I always like ur scientific approach... I still have to say one more thing...the permanent solution to all these issues is conscious decision...the person with full awareness of himself and surrounding... the person who meditates inward out 🧘... It's not that a guide said no KZhead u do it for his or challenge sake ... Neither it's for just disagreement...but it should be the conscious decision.... taking cognizance of what's imp and what matters... Kuddos to your videos ...i really think u can be more than UPSC teacher or IAS... I hope to see u as a great leader 🙏 p.s: kept an emoji on the front line for attention 😅
I have been doing this for the past 2 days and the results are far better than before. Thank you so much ❤
First time, I watched any video of this channel and I can understand how preparation of UPSC make a person rational and logical. too good video insightful and much needed for students like me.
Just discovered you todday on result day. Great work champ. Thanks for everything 😊
This is true enlightenment. I AM VERY OBLIGED BY YOUR WORDS SIR. YOU ARE GOD. YOU ARE A TRUE HERO AND DESERVE MORE RESPECT. And, I am saying all of this, not because of pure excitement after watching the video, but because of the effects of implementing the things that you have said Sir, and how they are going to affect me, throughout the rest of my life. I AM READY TO EMBRACE THE CHANGE. THANK YOU SIR and I hope I can meet you Sir in person after I grow up, at a certain point of my life. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ALSO, Jai Hind, Jai Bharat. All hail India 🇮🇳.

Early morning, late night Changing the environment Reorder location, make it tough Delete the apps Extra barrier Turn off notifications ( evolutionary perspective - hunter gather) No to periferi vision me phone Changing the environment Give ur phone to family Find the alternative New hobby.. overtime dopamine, daf Unsubscribe Difficult things make u feel better

A much needed video. Thank You Brother ! - Bhushan
Yesterday i watched this video - 1.30 PM approx. I controlled myself for next 24 hour it was not easy but it help alot. I get much more time to revise and learn. In last 24 hours my screen time was just 15 min bcz of calling to parents. Thanks you so much sir. 😊
I'm jee aspirant and I deleted all social media except this fucking you tube and literally this sucks my most of the time and today it's 4:31 am in the morning I got your vedio that open my eyes now I'm gonna close for whole day and try to complete study lecture through my study app....I'll come tomorrow and tell you how I felt 9 Aug 2023.
So much insightful. Yes, I have addiction. I overcame some addictions, so I am sure I overcome this too.
You're doing good in a very clever way Profit + helping Great man✊
Bro your knowledge and wisdom is exceptional ❤ i like the way you used the rewarding algorithm and that pushes many to watch the hole video 😊😊
I'm usually a silent viewer. You're very helpful. And your content is like some good valuable company for someone dealing with the loneliness that is complimentary in this journey.
Great video....your appreciation of those who reached a certain level is also a certain shot of dopamine for the audience .....thanks !
Nice man! Really impressive👍
G20 mnemonic : G7+BRICS + SAM SITA I hope it's helpful 😊
This video must be very helpful to almost everyone who are struggling with concentrating well on the task in hand. I’m saying so because this video gave me flashbacks of a few podcasts by Andrew Huberman & Lex Fridman. Also, I’m sorry but I have to watch another video on KZhead after this- Ted Talk because I have listed it on my KZhead watchlist for today. But, after that I’m definitely going to read a book.
wow.!! this is similar to behaviourist approch of educational psychology. Thank you i really did my tasks a little better today.
Thank you doc! 💯🔥 Liked concept of all the studies and researches ✨
Had this in my watch later for more than a month. Glad I watched it :)
He is a real interpreter he used the word congratulations to make us realise happiness and rewarding
Shivin bhaiya please make a video on mains test series . you will be in top 50 AIR UPSC 2022 .your commitment towards the community will definitely pay off ❤
Result coming on 22 may
Thank you so much, it really did change me from addictions, I used to see videos to make myself concentrate on my studies but helped me less. your way of explaining! made me understand how time-consuming it can be to spoil precious time.
One of those videos where i will comment and appreciate the efforts and way of presenting of a creator.. great analysis brother...
Words can't thank you enough sir for this priceless content,this is really2 so much needed .Thank you sir ,God bless you♥
Although I'm late here, this doesn't stope me from appreciating you. Believe me you're not a random person, you've helped so many people with your wisdom. You're an extremely good orator. Please keep up the good work.
THANK YOU DR. SHIVIN .its been 7 days I opened youtube on my phone. i am using yt on laptop , that too when you post about new video in telegram. i had tried rearrangement earlier but was somehow tempted to open again. This time I was like nooo. i am stronger than my temptation for immediate gratification and instant dopamine. and that helped in my productivity very much. thank you again.sooooo grateful for the work you do.
Hey stranger! I feel motivated enough to follow your instructions blindly, even if you won't be able to witness my grit to accomplish these little steps and live the magic it would create. Thank you.
This video was awesome.into the first 5-7 minutes video of the video,i realised you are trying to give a reward for people watching the video. As I have read in the book atomic habits "what is immediately rewarded is repeated and what is immediately punished is avoided". This method u used make me realise the power of rewards. Thankyou so much.
Are you a magician sir!??? You literally read my mind 😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯..and yes you blew my mind!!! Such a amazing session it was..i am going to implement it from now..!!
Watched your video yesterday and on 29 & 31st January is my fifth semester examination of graduation (Statistics Honors). I didn't touch my device since yesterday morning and I felt so proud of completing my syllabus that I had to post this comment. Thank you. A lot. And I mean it. Even though I've to study 15-20 days more, but I'm pretty much motivated to complete my syllabus and rock the exams!🫂
Didn't use phone After watching your video From yesterday in the morning Now i opened KZhead, Instagram 😅
Thank you so much ,you put your heart into this video ,I watched till the end
I will try to implement. Thank you for the information & I will comment again when I implement it. Then get the pleasure of the hard work, studying and not checking the phone. Once again, thank for your kind information. 🙏🏼
That's what I needed from my mentor, my brother Love from Tripura ❣️
I hope we all should do such things. Training our minds is the only way to survive in this peculiar modern world of absurdity. Human brain, cognitive function are very important for our species. I thank people like you who use this platform in the best possible way selling the most authentic product. More power to you
we need people like you , thank you so much sir
Thank you so much for talking about this .I don't have any social media app not even you tube as I am using browser .Whenever I have to watch some educational video I download it on my tab and I have told my brother to keep a check on me so that I am not on you tube scrolling random videos.
Hello Dr Shivin, Dr Pragya here. I am a NEET PG aspirant and this video is really helpful to me, thanks a lot
I did it. Watched your video yesterday, and here I am after solving a math paper and have come on KZhead to clear my doubts. Thank you for providing me valuable knowledge.
I have never seen such video sir..... Thank you so much for explaining scientifically ❤ thank you so much sir !!!
9:22 "this happens even with the hardwork". 😌
Thank you Dr. And I am not a upsc aspirant I am just a 15 year old teenager who's exams are reaching and I am not that much addict to my phone but I just don't want to get addicted and I want to get addicted to my passion not my distraction..... I have watched the whole video and it helps too much.... Thank you so much.. 😃😃✨🌼🌼🌼 - Avni sarbhai. 😃
Woah...I really didn't expect to watch the whole video in one shot..... watching shorts on yt has made my attention span very bad ...so I thought I'll quit soon .....but the 24 damn 24 MINUTES felt like only few minutes .... I'm amazed with this too what u said is really so true...even a random people calling u special causes such a great production of dopamine 👍...keep up the good work.. And yeah I'm gonna stop yt for today :)
literally, the best video on dopamine I've seen so far!!!
I did one thing you mentioned in the video.stopped using instagram,fb.left for it for browsing.aur ab aisa ho gya ki man hi ni krta ye sab open krne ka even through browser. The last thing actually blowed my mind.Thank you.not using youtube for the rest of the day.Thank you
Don't use any social media they are only useless things. 13:22 😊
Like me many more have an idea of this problem and solution too but where we lack is the implementation of the solution, I know many people who just watched this video telling in their mind that yes they're facing the same problem will forget next morning or until clicking on next video , Just want to say be the controller of your mind don't let anything or anyone drive you somewhere else away from your Goals , Parents are the biggest motivation you need to make your and their life happy too. All the Best to those who genuinely try to end their addiction. Thank you Shivin bhaiya your approach to any problem (Social or educational) is what I like very much.
I did it . Heavy withdrawal signs , wanted to use it all the time , but didn't open KZhead / any other social media platforms until today. Significantly improved my time for other things throughout the day , Hoping to do it consistently. Thanx a lot !
This was my first video since morning and now I am done for the day I guess. Well played Shivin😅
So bhaiya, like my most of study and revision is through KZhead, I try to be more focus on content I have consume for that specific chapter . Certainly while watching the lecture, my attention shift gently toward comment then too scrolling while video is playing. I'm try to control it, but certain I feel shortage of doing. But by seeing this willl give more effort silently giving my brain a msg that need to do this lecture so that I can achieve today target ❤ "I'm jee student preparing for IIT and I'm suffering from that phone addiction " I have my jee advance exam on 4th June. ❤ thank you 🌹
This is the best video ever. Thank you so much i appriciate this✨️
U r video was wonderful. May God bless u for awakening so many people. Thanks
The video was very very productive, worth for each second invested, thank you!! I am very happy that I recognized my phone addiction a while ago, and I've been following these points already for about a month now. Will work on the pending few things that you suggested like giving time to a hobby. Anyways, you're doing a great job through this channel😊 thanks again!!! 🎉
Here Dr Shivin is also playing with our psychology by making levels I guess 🤣
Thank you sir, I hope I'll be able to overcome my phone addiction with this roadmap now!!
thank you thats all i have to say you have left my mind blown with your use of dopamine so that we would watch your video till end but i think and im sure you did it for our good i would tell anybody here social media has 4 sides 90% all fun n and game 9% serious people 0.99% showing you ways to get better in life 0.1%showing you the problems u have and trying to cure the them
