I track my website usage, and I typically end up around 60-75+% devoted to youtube whenever I check. I think with my phone, it's probably a lot more. Ideally, I'd like to stop completely because that's a lot of time I am devoting to purely bs. There's some videos I watch for "learning", but it's more of a passive learning if anything. The rest is devoted to podcasts and random clips.
block youtube on all your networks / devices. it's liberating to do that with sites you feel suck up to many of your time.<p>going another route, you might want to be more mindfull of what you spend your time on in general. if it's a surprise to you that you do X for an Y amount of time, then it seems you are not aware of your own schedule?<p>it is OK and a good idea to make a schedule for your own time, to manage it better / spend your time on what you want instead of what you do out of habit.<p>If you want to stop completely and are certain, just implement option 1, its easy and will make sure you can't watch it anymore.
