I'm going to stop using YōuTube for a month

Day 5 and I went on YōuTube ONLY to find a video for a zucchini bread recipe I use in the video's description. I only watched like 10 seconds of the video to make sure it was the one for the recipe I wanted. I didn't watch anything else.

I've technically failed staying off of YōuTube because of this, but I needed that recipe. 😔 I'm still continuing with this and will continue to post updates.
 
I didn't post an update last night because I got really busy with baking 4 loaves of zucchini bread. I just finished another book. I'll post a day 7 update tonight.

I'll include a photo of all the books I've read this week to mark the end of week one. lol
 
I think replacing your ******* addiction with Chat Avenue is like jumping out of the fire and straight into a volcano. 🔥🌋

It's fine since I don't have any enemies here as far as I know. At least this place isn't active enough to warrant nearly as much time investment as YōuTube did.

Damn. I forgot. Well pretend it isn't after midnight.
One week without wasting time on PooTube!

Here are the books I read:

I keep forgetting to post an update. Today is tough. I keep thinking of watching videos related to books, but I know where that'll lead. lol
 
Alright. I'm giving up after the 2-week mark. A month is just too long to start out with. I'm surprised I even managed without it for a week!

After I get back on YōuTube again, I'm going to try to limit my watch time to a maximum of 2 hours a day. I think that's not too bad. That'd certainly be an improvement from 6+ hours a day, which has been the amount of daily time I've spent on there for quite a while.

Going cold turkey has given me some much-needed perspective, but I don't think it was the solution. I need to focus on moderation rather than abstinence.

Wish me luck!

Double back and try again.

I opened YōuTube just to make a 2-hour-long playlist that I've already added videos to. I'll create a daily selection of videos I'll limit myself to each day. I think it's a good idea. I don't don't want to cut myself off completely from the app anymore. It's not like I watched brainrot content anyway. As long as I limit myself, I'll still have time for other things in my life.
