You know what? It's pathetic how addicted I am to YouTube shorts. It's pathetic. Okay. It's pathetic because I've taken extreme measures to manage my social media addiction. And yet somehow I found a way to get addicted to YouTube shorts. Okay. I got two phones.
One phone that has all of the social media apps downloaded that I keep in my office on the floor for moments when I need to post on social media. And then I have another phone that has no social media apps downloaded on it except for YouTube because I have a soft spot for YouTube. that I carry around all the time that is used mainly for utility purposes, right?
And for a long time, this worked for me. My social media addiction was cured. But then I discovered YouTube Shorts. And over the last few months, my addiction to YouTube Shorts has now just completely erased all of the work I've done to manage my social media addiction. So yes, I did have to delete YouTube off of my phone because I could not go to the bathroom without scrolling on YouTube Shorts.
I could not... go to sleep without watching at least a few YouTube shorts beforehand. Like I fully became addicted. And so I had to delete it off of my phone. I'm talking about my main phone, like the phone, the healthy phone that doesn't have all the social media apps on it. It's still downloaded on the unhealthy phone, but I don't go on that one. So on my main phone, I got nothing, okay?
YouTube Shorts was the last chance I had to scroll, or so I thought. I already found something else to scroll on. But this is a little bit healthier. And I don't think I'm going to become addicted to this, but it allows me to scroll in a way that is mentally stimulating. And when I'm on the toilet, I open this app and I look. This is the app Tagwalk, okay?
Tagwalk is an app that basically just shows you runway collections, like fashion runway collections. It's actually really an incredible app. You can look up a fashion show that happened 10 years ago from a certain designer and you can find it on this app and look through it. There's professional images. Like, you get to see everything, right? So...
When I'm on the toilet, when I'm laying in bed, exhausted, needing a little bit more dopamine from a scroll before I go to sleep, instead of going on YouTube Shorts now, I go on this app, Tagwalk, and look at current runway collections. At a certain point, I'm going to run out of current runway collections to look at, and I'm going to have to go back into the archive. But there are so many...
runway shows happening all the time that there's a lot of stuff to look at. And I love analyzing that. I'm actually having an incredible time. And I really don't think it's toxic. I actually think this is a valid replacement for YouTube shorts that is not unhealthy. I think
I'm equally as satisfied from this activity, but I don't think it's destroying me in my attention span like YouTube shorts did. Short form content is just not good for the brain. It's overstimulating. It causes anxiety. I'm already anxious. The last thing I need is short form content in my day-to-day routine. So I'm loving this, okay? And I've been loving this for like the past week.
