In this video I talk about what happened when I deleted social media, and why it genuinely changed my life. I’m not coming at this from a “social media is evil” angle—I’m coming at it from a minimalist productivity angle: if something is constantly pulling your attention, it’s going to leak into your studying, your habits, and your ability to stay consistent. Deleting the apps (and not just “using them less”) was the cleanest way for me to stop negotiating with myself every day. The main takeaway is that focus isn’t something you “find,” it’s something you protect. When I removed the default dopamine hits and the endless scrolling, I had more mental space for the stuff I actually care about—studying engineering, training, building simple systems, and following through on goals. If you’re stuck in a cycle of distraction, I share the mindset shift that helped me: make the environment do the work, not your willpower. And if you want to keep up with what I’m doing without the noise, I point you to my Substack.
