One Simple YouTube Setting That Boosted My Productivity

[unpinkpanther]

Making YouTube less distracting was one of the best decisions I made this year.

By turning off “Recommendations” and sticking to only content I need, YouTube is now more of a research tool rather than a time-waster.

(Deleting the Reddit app from my phone has also helped, but that’s a story for another day…)

I’m also trying a “No YouTube Day” once a week to focus more on reading. Still working on this (old habits die hard, right?), but the benefits are already showing.

Sure, not gonna argue with the stats. Video content is on the rise. No doubt about that. But when it comes to helping my thinking process see logical steps forward, I still prefer written content any day.
