I just feel it's too addicting and really taking up my time more than anything else. One video just leads to another.

Kol Hakavod!
Get a filter. I use techloq. Can customize to your needs, block or allow what you decide on.

Is this something I buy online or need to go to tag to install ?

I feel like a different person since I stopped. My only hope is that I’ll be able to keep it for way past the 40 days too!
It’s just a different life and a different day when you don’t watch.

The biggest challenge is that after I usually accept/stop myself from watching is that all of a sudden an important/usefull video comes to mind/becomes recommended (like meditation) and I feel I am missing out by not watching it and then I get distracted again and the spiral goes on and on.
What is the secret to this ?
Is it all or nothing ?

I just blocked YouTube. I told myself I'll try it for a couple of days and see how it goes.
Best. Decision. Ever.
I gained tons of time in my day, am way more present with my family, and overall more mindful. I do miss it sometimes as I gained a ton from various different channels. I may reconsider one day, but for now, I'm happy with this decision.
You can get a customizable filter like Gentech, which is what I have. Kol hakavod to you.

Yes, it is a challenge. I couldn't see myself doing it. But after several days it gets a lot easier. Unless you have enormous self-restraint, then yes, you will need to drop it cold turkey.

Gentech has option of blocking certain content from youtube. They have 5 levels to choose from.
I was wasting ton of time watching. I blocked hulu so then I watched youtube. I blocked that. Now I find that I spend ton of time on computer doing nothing!! how crazy is that. I go from imamother to yeshiva world and back to imamother. I'm happy that I don't watch garbage but I still waste too much time
I feel like I have to work on my self discipline

Yes for me it’s all or nothing.
When I started the 40 day challenge I had a hard time refraining from the short videos posted on news websites. I was so used to clicking on those. Most videos are harmless. But then there’s no end.
So I won’t start.
There are no rules to this challenge other than taking one day at a time with zero watching and patting yourself on the back .
Aim for 40 consecutive days.
If you need chizzuk post on that thread.

Omg same. Imamother and ywn and back. Nothing left.
But I’m also spending less time online being that I see how boring it’s not to be able to watch. That’s the point.

For me it’s my relaxation time.
Before internet days I’d do sudoku.
